Big wheel keep on turnin...

Jul 13, 2009

Haven't updated this thing in like 2 months. My WLS process is moving along, though not as fast as I want it to! So far I've met with my nutrionist twice and have had 2 sleep studies. The nutritionist is going pretty good for the most part. Alot of what she tells me I already know since my mom went through the surgery. I have to lose 40 pounds before my surgery, so my last appt with the nutritionist should be in October so I have to lose the weight by then. Between my first and second appt with her I only lost a whopping 4 pounds which really sucked. I felt so good about what I've been doing. I've cut out soda, except for maybe 1 every other week...no fast food...i've cut back on my portions and on all the foods she's advised me to. I go back on the 30th of this month so we'll see how I do then.

My 2 sleep studies resulted in me finding out that I do have sleep apnea. I'm now on a CPAP machine which i'm having alot of troubles with. I've now learned to take it off in my sleep which isn't good. It's just really hard getting used to it, but I know it takes time so hopefully within the next week or 2 everything will get better with it.

I'm in the process of getting a membership to the local Golds Gym, I'm just waiting to hear from a good friends sister who is a trainer there. She's trying to get me a good promotion rate so it doesn't cost too much. Right now I'm just walking daily on my lunch breaks at work which I know isn't doing too much, but it's better than what I was doing before which was absolutely nothing.

I'm just so ready to get my surgery! I'm ready to start a new life and get healthy and just be able to enjoy everything that I've always wanted to enjoy. So I have 4 nutrionist appts left, my psych appt which is on the 22nd, and my follow up with the surgeon. Then we can get my date and get the surgery done with!
