Pushing the Reset Button

Jul 24, 2010

I suppose I am now moving from "sedentary" to "mildly active."  I'm trying to get myself out there, and even had my wife and  friend take me to the gym.  Sure, my knee hurt a bit, and I couldn't do the Elliptical, Treadmill or Bike for much more than 5 minutes at a time, but hey, together that was 15 minutes, right?  And we walked to the gym which was...5 or 10 minutes each way.  So that counts for something, right? 

In the meantime, my last meeting with the nurse is in a couple of days, Monday.  I had my PCP do the final medical clearance last week, but we have still not heard back from insurance.  The Hospital is hopeful that the insurance will give the go ahead since I meet the criteria in terms of BMI and co-morbidities. 

I'm slightly obsessing about everything bariatric:  food, exercise, pills.  I figure that having this RNY done is like being reborn.  Like my daughters when they were babies, I'll be on liquids for awhile, then move up to puree, and then toddler food.  :)  Hopefully this will help push the reset button for me so that I can start over and try again.
