2 - 4 step done! Waiting on blood test results...

Jul 30, 2011

This week I had my first appointment with the doctor to do my physical and I passed with flying colors. Then 2 days later I saw the behaviorist and though I was terrified that I would be denied because of my "food addiction" (which in all reality it is an addiction for me and I'm a very emotional eater) but nope! I passed that with flying colors. the final step this week was to meet my surgeon and discuss the surgery. And again I'm all systems go.

Friday I did my blood tests... 11 vials later I was feeling great! They should have the blood work in 5 - 10 days and then I get to the next step which I think will be the dietitian and then scheduling!! Hopefully by the fall I will be sleeved and enjoying some of the many great benefits of VSG!!

I have begun working on changing my eating habits. I have to say the most difficult habit so far has been the not drinking when i eat. And the chewing my food so thoroughly. I am always on the goal so taking time to actually chew and enjoy my food has never been a priority in my life. Hmmm... so I wonder why I'm struggling with it?? 

I am really starting to focus on eat my protein to get adjusted to eating more meats. I'm not a lover of meat but I will find some recipes that will help with that. I'm just glad I'm taking the time to prepare now so (hopefully) it's a much easier transition.
