OMG..COUNTDOWN FOR REAL
I haven't posted here or visited in awhile. I think because the reality of really having the surgery hadn't sunk in.
I had my 2nd nutritional counseling appt and weigh in yesterday. I lost 5 pounds. I accomplished the goal of eliminating sugar drinks completely this past month. I timed myself before and after meal for having drinks. Switched to light mayo and ate more often in one place, chewing and focusing on what was going in my mouth.
Had one cake binge. And my evening snacking is my weakest point. My counselor this time was Andrea Zimmeri. She gave me some helpful suggestions and acknowledged my changes. I feel more confident about going forward now and have a better understanding about the need to practice some of the lifestyle changes that will be required. I can't wait to have a smaller stomach tool. I wasn't required to come back for another appointment so I am assuming I got the stamp of approval from the nutritionist. I had a sense of calm just being near the surgeon's office which I call O'Malley's Alley. I came home and scheduled my pre-op testing date. I've had a surgery date for over 2 months, which is March 2nd. So 30 days!--Holy *&%&R ! Now the waiting for the paperwork to Blue Choice and that much talked about phone call that says I am approved. I'm not going to sweat it though. I have lots to do before the surgery as far as getting support for my special needs son. I am his primary caregiver and need to make sure he's covered. Then I'm hoping I can get some support for me when I get home. Parents are far away. Friends have jobs. Is it hard to fend for yourself after? Do I need someone to bring me my broth? Well for what it's worth.. there's my update to anyone. Hope to join the ranks soon. Anybody having surgery the same day as me with O'Malley? Perhaps we will be roomies at Highland. ok. I'll ck back P.
March 2nd is my date too and it is sonn approaching. We will both be fine. I want to wish you the best of luck with you WLS afterwards. We have been through a lot to get where we are now. It's gonna be great becoming a LOSER finally!
