Psych eval, nut consult and exercise physiologis visit
Sep 10, 2009
Well, today was the day.Met with the psychologist to see if I was "fit" for surgery. He said I was within the normal range, to which I replied. "yeah, I'm normal". He laughed and said, "I didn't say you were normal , just that you were within normal ranges" (LOL). But got a thumbs up from him (yea!!!)
Then met with my nut to get my pre-surgery diet. Have to lose 33 lbs before I can be scheduled for surgery. She put me on a pretty aggressive diet plan so that I can lose it as fast as possible. Since it looks like I will be a self-pay, no reason to piddle around and waste time. Get it done and over with, so I can get to my surgery and start the rest of my "new" life. Soi gonna start that as soon as I get paid and can make a grocery store run.....in the meantime,just gonna keep eating my healthy foods I had already bought and lots of walking.
Exercise Physiologist just asked me to walk 30 min/3 days a week.. That should be no problem but think I'll keep walking 4-5 days pr/wk. No reason to exercise less...right?
Anyway....felt like I am on the right path and am making slow steady progress... Can't wait to start my new life.
