Let's get this show on the road!

May 04, 2014

On March 29th I went to my WLS seminar. I had my first clinic appointment with a Bariatric Nurse on April 17th. I've gone in for my first labs and tomorrow I have my first appointment with my Psychologist. Hopefully things will start moving along at a steady pace after that. I've quit smoking and starting dieting to drop my pre-op weight. I don't mind the idea of this journey taking time as long as I've got some forward momentum. I've got my new Ninja blender and ordering a digital food scale tomorrow. I'm writing down tips and meal ideas. I'm just really looking forward to getting back into the clinic to see where i'm at and how far I have yet to go before I get a surgery date. It took a little time for the reality of what I was contemplating to fully sink in. Almost a full month to be honest. But it's a big decision and not one to rush into. You do the research, you ask questions, you read other peoples posts and stories, you weigh the pros and the cons and decide if you are willing and able to commit to the complete lifestyle change that having WLS demands. I made my decision. I'm committed and so i'm ready to get this show on the road.
