all set...

Hi everyone, thanks for all the good thoughts.  It's funny, I knew going today I had not lost all the weight they want me to, and I was going in with all my t's crossed...done the calories, done the exercise...just waiting for someone to say it's not enough.  Well, Corinne said it  I did not lose enough weight.. I was given a limited amount of time when Dr.L gave me a date so quickly and I had to go above and beyond, and she feels I ddin't/ Now, before you all get upset, look at my stats...I was to eat 1100-1300 calories a day; I averaged 1165, I was to eat 60-80 proten grs a day, I averaged 61, exercise 40 minutes a day 4-5 times a week, I exercised 6 days a weeks 20-30 mimutes-building up. So in effect, I did do the minimum. So now, I am still on for the 31st no worries, but I have to go to 4 protein shakes a day and 48-64 oz of fluids. continue exercising working up to the 200 minutes a wee****il my pre-op meeting in 11 DAYS, and after that until my pre-op cleansing.. So....THAT is above and beyond.  I told Corinne i will and would do ANYTHING I had to do to be ready and now I will have to, won't I. Can I please hear some major, class A honking from my peeps??? I can and will do this.!! Counseling went well, too, I like her...Sharon Bell in Lewiston!

Honk Honk, Kate!  You have done great!!  You will be there for sure, your attitude is great!!
