Catching Up

May 17, 2011

This last month has been a crazy busy.
At the end of April I finally met my surgeon.  He is very nice, professional & straight to the point.
I also learned something new about myself. 
I am shorter than I thought I was.
4'11.3" 
Start rant: How is that possible???
Where did the rest of me go?
I feel like I have been living a lie.
I have always thought I was 5'1"  : End rant

Told ya...this is a friggin' big deal to me.

My BMI was 46.9 (grumble, grumble friggin' height), and I was 232 at that appointment.
He wants me to lose 12lbs. which is 10% of my excess weight. 
I am on a 3 month supervised diet with my surgeon as my insurance BCBS of IL HMO has no criteria for me! Big YAY!
My surgeon did not have a goal weight for me, but I asked him what he thought of 110lbs. He said it was realistic for me.

I have seen my NUT and plan on doing my 4 visits with her.  #2 is next Tuesday. My last visit /weight-in will be in July!

Had my sleep study 2 weeks ago and do have sleep apnea, though mild (sleeping on my side) and severe while sleeping on my back.  I go for my sleep study #2 for titration on the 28th.

I have my Psych appointment next Thursday. Cannot wait for it to be done with. Nervous!!!

After that I have nothing till the end of next month (weight in). 

I have already lost 5 lbs. since I saw my surgeon.  Just watching what I eat (smaller portions) and trying to exercise more.
