 and I know why... Im eating like its my last meal (every meal). Well that stops today! Protein shake for breakfast. Also trying Bariatric Advantage *Crystals in my water bottle (its sour). Ive been to the gym 3x already this week. Stationary bike 30 mins ea. time. Thats good considering I can barely stand or walk for 5 mins anymore. I need to get active! I wish there were inexpensive pool classes locally. I need to check with Woonsocket health and raquet and YMCA.

Oh yea.. I saw the dietician & behaviorist yesterday and all I have to say is... THAT WAS A WASTE OF TIME AND GAS MONEY. Jacqueline came with me and she agree's!

Dietician appt tomorrow @ 10AM.
(was origionally last week but cancelled due to snow)

Im nervous because everytime I eat now I realize its one of the last times Ill be able to eat "normal".

Im experiencing this X2 because I've recently had 4 front teeth extracted (2 bottom and 2 top) and have been fitted for a partial denture. I got my top one last Thursday but the bottom one didnt fit so I was supposed to get it today. I went to my appt. @ 1:30 but it was locked up tight with no lights on and an UPS sticker on the door for a missed delivery. (Snow day Im sure).

Anyway my point is.. It sucks eating with partials. I thought at one point I wouldnt even need the RNY because I didnt enjoy eating anymore but, I still manage to eat (alot). Hopefully after my appt with the dietician I can pick up my partials.

Everything seems to be happening so fast these days. Busy, busy, busy!

I think 6 months is gonna fly!

 Had my Cardiac consult   

 EKG was normal.

I have a stress test February 4th.
 


Im a little nervous about "hot-footing it" on the tredmill. Asthma... Doc said if I cannot walk/run enough to get heart rate up so they can see what they need to see before having an asthma attack they can do an IV with adrenalin. Im kind of enjoying all the check ups. Weird huh? But cool to see how my body is doing.

I Waited an hour past my appt time to see my surgeon. He was pretty chill, said I qualified and I would have to do a 6 month program to get the insurance to approve payment of the surgery.

He remembered seeing me at one of his seminars. Yes! (I was hoping he did recognize me)

Office staff? Skinny! Seriously skinny! But healthy looking.. and very nice. 

The Dr said its very important to stick with the program for a minimum of 5 years. 80% of people who stick with it keep the weight off.

Those who dont stick with the program only have 50% chance of losing and keeping weight off.

I get the impression he has people knocking down his door for the surgery! 

He only does OPEN RNY but, will be hiring on a coleuge who will do laproscopic.

I have the nutritionist appointment tomorrow.
