So today was my first visit with the nutritionalist.  Hopefully this visit will get me on the right track to my surgery.  I am now up to 227 and don't want to go any higher!  What is going on with me?  I am so disipointed in myself but am not going to dwell on it.  Tomorrow is the first day of the 6 month diet so as long as I don't gain any more I will be happy!!! 

Well I met with Dr Wieger today.  He is the first dr that everyone meets with.  He was very informative about everything.  He explained the procedure, all the risks, before and after surgery, we talked about the supplements that is a lifetime commitment as well as this being a tool and not a solution.  Told him I think I could be a prodigal (sp) patient.  I am so ready for this and can't wait to get started.  Oh and he also gave me my goal weight of 130 which I think is very very reasonable and obtainable.  I set up my first appointment with Dr DiMarco which is        Nov 25 and my first dietician appt of the 6 month diet plan is on Nov 4th.  Can't wait!!!  This means my new beginning is another day closer.  I know it seems so so far off but just like Christmas day, you wait and wait and anticapte and them it's here before you know it.  I did tell Mom what I was doing and she really shocked me and was very supportive of my decision.  I was really afraid to tell her and she said she would keep it to herself cuz I don't need any unneeded static and should concentrate on what I am doing.  Ok well that's about it for now, will post more after my next appointment! 

Well today was the start of my journey.  I am so excited to get this started.  I met with one of the staff at WLC and she gave me my 12 step program checklist.  .....I'm only on step 1.  I have to fill out a bunch of questions and a 4 day eating diary and mail it back to them.  Once I get that to them my 6 month diet program will begin.  My BMI might not seem too much compared to some others but I am only 5' 1/2" and I feel as round as I am tall.  grrrrr.  I haven't told anyone that am starting this journey, not sure how they will feel about it really.  I think my son will have issues with it...just go to the gym he will say........been there done that and I remember even telling him I think I'm destined to be short and fat my whole life.......not anymore, gonna make sure my 40's are better than my 30's.  I quit smoking right after I turned 40 so this is my next step in taking control of my life.  I can do this I KNOW I CAN and make myself proud! 

Oh my first weigh in at the WLC was 220 UGH!!!
