Update on my consult and surgery

Well, I know it's been a couple of weeks since I filled everyone in on where I was on getting my GBS.  So here is an update for you:   I called my surgeon's nurse, Anita, on Thursday and when she called me back she told me my file was over to scheduling.  so I am waiting for a call on when my consult will be.
On wed. I stepped on my scale here at home and I was 3 lbs. UNDER what I need to be at for the surgeon.  this morning it was only 1 but it was still under.  YEAH!!  Yesterday (Saturday) I got a rush order in from April and she needs it by Tuesday evening. so I am working on that right now, but in order to cut it out, I needed a bigger cutting table than the one I have here at home, so I took the trolley into the church and used the table there.  I decided that I wanted something to drink and something to snack on. So I finished cutting out the pattern and cleaned up my mess, and then rode down to Love's (a convenient store close by there) and got me a couple of bottles of diet pepsi to bring home.  Looking around for something to snack on, I looked at the candy bars I would normally get and they didn't even look good so I passed them up.  I ended up getting some mixed nuts and trail mix to bring home to snack on. Surprised at myself for passing up the chocolate but proud of myself too.

That sounds like good news! Congrats on bypassing the candy! You can do this!

Way to go on passing up the candy!!  My husband has just left his oilfield job to take a more stable one as a Wonderbread/Hostess delivery person.  When he applied for this job, I told him he'd get it just because Hostess is a major weakness of mine!!

I know this must be a test of my willpower and fortitude but I told him I'd kick his booty if he brings home any snack cakes!!!  He's like a crack pusher with those things!! LMAO!!! 

I have to keep telling myself  !!

Congratulations on making a wiser snack choice. It's confirmation that you have the discipline it takes to make the right choices after WLS, too. :)  I'm so excited for you. Your surgery is just around the corner.
Prayers & Blessings,
