6 Months of Doctor Monitor Diet - Month #3

I'M proud of MYSELF!! I know anticipation/excitement of the surgery is a huge motivator, but I'm doing this - I'm doing this on my own - like the first time ever without trying to starve myself, no diet pills, no binging. Down 15 pound, and I FEEL GREAT ABOUT IT!!

To get different results you have to do things differently

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Meet with surgeon tomorrow

Tomorrow is my consultation appointment, I’m not really nervous, more so, curious. I think I also will hear the results from the psychological evaluation I did. I haven’t thought about it much…it is what it is. I’m hoping I get a better understanding of what all I need to accomplish diet wise in the next 4 months. Wow, as soon as 4 months I could be in the losers bench! I get excited as each day passes. I cannot wait to weigh what a average person does, it has been over 25 years since I have!

Have the discipline to work hard even when no one is watching. It’s in those little moments that the successful rise above.

First Mammogram & 2nd Weigh-In

One of the pre-Req's for my weightloss surgery is to have a mammogram. I don't know what it is, but since starting this journey, I haven't been as nervous/scared about doing tests. I was more nervous doing the psychological evaluation than the mammogram. I'm glad I didn't stress myself over it because it wasn't bad at all. This morning was also my second weigh-in for WeightLoss Management with primary care physician (pre-req of 6 months). I lost 7 pounds since my first weigh-in. I'm pretty happy about that. I would like to lose 19 more before the surgery, but I guess that depends on the surgeons requirements. I meet with him next Monday.

Protein Shakes - Found One!

So, I think I found something I like! This morning I am having a chocolate muscle milk with pb fit mixed in....it is pretty dang good!

Support Group Meeting

This evening I have my first support group meeting I have to attend for weightloss surgery. I'm kinda looking forward to it....to hear everyone's story. I've asked my husband to go with me, I think it would be beneficial for him to hear the good and the bad of what I could be going through.

I may not be there yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday.

Protein Shakes

Well, I know absolutely NOTHING about protein shakes, but I really need to find something I can tolerate, because in my near future these will be my meals. So, today, I ventured off to the nutrition store to see what they can maybe recommend. I walk in with the "deer in the headlight look".....looking side to side, like wtf am I doing here. The guy at the counter must of seen my face of confusion and asked if he could help me, why sure you can because I can't help myself! This turned out to be a pretty good experience, he let me sample several different ones that have been recommend for weightloss surgery. I found me one that taste like a vanilla pudding cup, why of course this is the one I'm going to buy (and happen to be one of the most expensive ones, imagine that). I'm sure, I won't say in a couple days, but soon, you will read me blogging about how I absolutely hate these things and I'll die of starvation when I'm on a liquid diet - so for now.....I'm off to drink my vanilla pudding cup in a bottle disguised as something good for me.

Vanilla Pudding Cup in a bottle!

Psychological Evaluation Day

Soooooooo not looking forward to this. The psych I was referred to does a "test", and me being the researcher I am- I had to FIND THIS TEST. I'm not sure what I found will be it (mmpi) but from what others have experienced in this evaluation this is the test. I start to do it online, answered probably a 100 or so questions, got bored and started scrolling down and scrolling and scrolling - HOLY HELL THERE ARE 500 questions!!! My ADD will never let me get through all that, ugh... I am nervous as hell over this evaluation...what if I'm nuts? I think I'm just an average person, I am right? If I fail this "test", I can be denied surgery... let's just think positive here - I'm fine! I can get through this!
