1 month diet check up
I had my one month appt with the wieght loss clinic today. I have lost 5.7lbs since my first appt. in november. YAHH for me. Now they started me on a 1200 calorie diet which I am supposed to follow for the next five months. I have to log all of my food intake and do food exchanges. I am not exactly sure how to do all of this, but I am sure I will figure it out. I decided that I was not going to start until after christmas so I do not end up hating myself for eating christmas cookies.
I wish you all a very happy and healthy holiday!!!
Sierra,
Sounds great -- congratulations. My doctor started me on an appetite suppressant -- I took the first pill yesterday and for about the first 4 hours I was sweating and drinking water and I'm like you have to move when taking this medication. I got up and went down to the fitness center and did 20 minutes of cardio. Bascially, you have to work it out of your system and it feels like it's telling my brain to tell me to go work out. So I am on this 6 month journey as well -- what insurance do you have. Mine is CIGNA PPO.
I have highmark ppo blue. I was hoping to have my surgery before the end of june because I will have a new $500 deductable at the beginning of july, but I guess I will have to pay it either way. Sounds like those pills are a little crazy. I can't stand feeling jittery, it drives me crazy. I have been feeling better since I have been working out though.
