oh...what a day!!! Week before last a person from the surgeons office called and left a message to shcedule my appointment.  I was a bit confussed at the time so I decided to wait until the following week to call her back.  So that is what I did with Early sitting right beside me hearing the entire conversation.  I told the women (who by the way admitted that she was the person who had originally called me and left the message) on the phone that I was in my first month of management.  She stated that usually they do not get our info until we had completed our second month of management.  She encouraged me to go ahead and schedule the appointment and she would call medical weight management and see what was up and call me back and cancel if need be.......I never rec'd that call back.  So the following week I start calling the surgeons office, the coordinator and I left messages back and forth for a couple of days ( she works days, I work night).  All that to say Early and I went to the surgeons office only to fing out that I no longer had an appointment and they could not work me in.  All is not lost however, I have always and will always believe that my God works in mysteriuos ways.  Since I had this "appointment" coming up I did get off my behind and get some of the records that I had been dragging my feet on getting.  Thank you God for being wiser than I.

I completed my first month of medical weight management today...yea!!
Only two more months to go...I had a total loss of 5.3 lbs today.  I have my first appointment with Dr. Davis tomarrow.

I find myself wondering what life will be like thin.  I feel as though it will change everything about my life for the better.  I hope that the case.  I keep thinking next year this time I will be.......  fill in the blanks, a better mom, wife, daughter, employee and the liat goes on.

I went for my glucose tolerance today they stuck me every hour X4.  I drank the tropical punch flavored "sugar", it tasted bad even cold.  In an hour I felt dizzy and naseus.....yuk.  I decided to take my BS with Early's meter to my complete shock my BS was 290.  No wonder I felt bad.

I scheduled my sleep study for 11/2 and surgeon appt for 10\25.  I'm not sure why I am seeing the surgeon now but I'll take it.  I thought I had to wait until I completed my 3 months of weight management.

I finally saw my PCP.  He states that my triglycerides are high, HDL is low and my fasting blood sugar was 143.  OMG  He asked if I had any syptoms of ^BS and I laughed and said I have always been hungry, thirsty and pee all the time....nothing new.  He wants to do a glucose tolerance test.

I will schedule sleep study with rest tech for a Friday so Emily and I can test together.  She needs a repeat after her T&A.

When I got back home I went to sleep as I have to work tonight.  When I woke up I had a message from the surgeons office............I thought thats odd.  I will call back later.

My PCP's office called to schedule anappointment to discuss my labs.

I went for my labs today, the tech left a horrible bruise on my left AC.  Looks like I was jerked around by my arm.  She had to use a spider vein becuase she could not find a big one in all the fat.....LOL

Then I went car shopping, bought a brand new 2007 Ford Edge.  Hopefully I will be more confortable in it next year when I loose this weight.  LOL

I went to see my PCP to day.  I explained to him that I was again attempting to qualify for bypass.  I will never forget the look on his face, he made a look like that should be easy enough.  I asked for a sleep study and antidepressants.  A referral was made for sleep study but h refused the antidepressants that I have taken on and off for 10years.  He stated that we needed to do one thing at a time.  He also ordered labs and congratulated me on stopping smoking almost 1 year ago ( he was th eone who prescribed the Chantix for me to quit).

Today was my first session of weight management.  They took a before photo....OMG!!!

The session with the counselor was the most difficult of all.  I belief that my weight is the root of everything in my life that is negative.  Realistically I know this is not possible, but I would sure like to find out.  

The dietician put me on a 1400 cal/day high protein diet.  It really does not look that difficult.  I think it is more about planning ahead and not waiting till Iam starving and going to the refrigerator grabbing the first thing I see.  We'll see.

I really only want to loss a couple pounds a month.  My fear is if I loose too much the insurance surely will not pay for the procedure.

The insurance verifier and I have been playing phone tag.  Finally today he and I connected.  He stated that I have benifits for bypass.  I will have to attend 3 months of medical weight management first.  So, I called to schedule with methodist medical weight magement.
