OK so I didn't quite hit the 10 mins of activity as hoped for but I did do a couple of laps around the facility I worked at last night.  So Ill try again today.  I guess that's all we can do is keep trying.  I have noticed a slight problem though.  My Doctor suggested skipping a meal and using the meal replacement shakes instead.  Yesterday was the second day I did this, skipping breakfast with a high protein drink but by 5pm I am ravenous.  I just can get enough.  I ate my lunch, another protein drink as a snack and my dinner and snacks and was still needing more.  Not a mild hunger but an OMG I'm starving kind of hunger and ended up blowing it.  So I think for now I'm going back to 3 healthy meals following the Weight Watcher plan and 2 snacks and see if maybe I can work my way into skipping a meal completely.  Maybe breakfast wasn't the smart  choice and lunch may be the better one.  Who knows but I'm going to figure this one out.

Ok so today I made the decision to proceed.  Will the insurance approve it?  Hope so.  Tomorrow I will incorporate exercise into my day.  10 minutes to start and Ill alternate the Wii Fit and the treadmill but that's 10 minutes more than I'm doing now.  So for now I'm going to bed and I'm excited to see what tomorrow brings.  Will I like the protein drink tomorrow, think Ill be trying the CVS brand, will the work out as small as it may be kill  me  stay tuned........

Last week on Friday I met with my surgeon who discussed my options in weight loss surgeries with me.  My husband and I were a bit overwhelmed by the options and were undecided about which route to go.  I know all roads lead to weight loss but which way to turn?  I had gone to the surgeons office with interest in the gastric band.  Weighing in at 308 the surgeon suggested the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass in my situation but was ok with the band if that is what I chose.  DH and I left the office and didnt discuss it until the next day both a bit more comfortable with the band than the other procedures.  So I think I have choosen.  I have started trying all the protien supplement drinks already and some of them are definatly better than the others thats for sure.  Im still a bit confused with this new diet I have been given but everyday I am trying to add a new part of it into my everyday.  I am calling the surgeons office as I type to give him my decision and move on to the next step in this journey.  I know its not going to be a quick overnight fix but this weight didn't appear overnight either.  So one small step in my journey but one large step for me.

Yay Me!!
