Update, provoking thoughts...
Jan 20, 2011
I have another appointment Monday with Missouri Bariatric Associates at MU. I am not nervous, I deem it as just jumping through another hoop in this process. I was informed that this was my last appointment before scheduling surgery. I may not be going with Dr. Richardson. I know there are about 4 doctors in the office, and Dr. Richardson did not necessarily rock my world...I wasn't impressed. No attitude intended, I just want to like the person I will be working with.Looking at my dates, my first blog post was 11/14/10, a little over 2 months ago. I guess that is not too long, but being right here in the middle of it feels like it has taken forever. I have been considering this surgery for at least 3 solid years.
The surgery and specifically after care and the post op diet has taken up so much of my thoughts and time...which I am okay with. I am fully aware of what I have to do during and after the surgery to be healthy, so it certainly will not be a surprise. In fact I bought a bunch of Carbmaster yogurt tonight and some protein powder online to give it a try (make sure I can physically remember to add protein!) and I think I really like it. The powder is tolerable, however I'll get the right kind next time, the whey isolate. I'm sure it will taste better than the nutty hemp protein that I bought, being my tree hugger self :)
Simply stated, I CAN'T WAIT. I feel so ready for this new adventure in my life! So ready to go shopping for some smaller sizes.
The thought provoking part is - I am so sick of thinking of myself as a number or a size. I will embark upon fashion faux pauxs because I will be wearing big baggy clothes, like I've always liked. From the time I was 15 or 16 years old, I've loved to wear my older brothers clothes and boyfriends' clothes :) (Weird like that!)
