Nutrition Class Part II

So the nutrition class was good, there were a lot of people there, so that sucked, but otherwise good. It was very informational and scary. It basically went over how much different I will eat post-op. I can only eat a small amount of food and have to make sure the amounts I do eat are full of good protein and good fats. Of course, I can still eat things like small treats and have the occasional glass of wine, but it will be very different. It was cool though, because I really don't know how you are supposed to eat. I just eat whatever the hell I want now and don't really care.

I can't wait to have my pulmonary stuff done soon, I am really getting antsy to have the surgery and be done with it! I had to use this machine last night that measures how much oxygen you are getting as you breathe as well as my pulse through out the night. I got like ZERO sleep because it is a thing that clips onto your index finger and I kept waking up worrying if I had pulled it off in my sleep or what. At one time I actually did! I woke up at 4-something and it was on the ground and the alarm (that is really freaking quiet by the way) was beeping. I was so annoyed!! I just want to move on with my life and start to become more healthy. In order to achieve this, I am willing to do ANYTHING!!! It is going to be a big change in my life because I will be expected to do 20-30 minutes of exercise 4-5 times a week! I don't do any exercise now, so that will be interesting. Especially with Josh, I wonder if he is ready to make that change with me...

Guess I will find out.

I'll blog more later, I am pretty tired from lack of sleep...

Nutrition Class Today

Hey, so today I am going to a nutrition class that is required by my surgeon. I know it sounds nerdy, but I am actually really excited. It means I am one more step closer to actually getting my band. I hope that I can remember and stick to the rules of the band and eating. I really want to be successful with it and stop having to live miserably any longer.

I don't know if I had made a decision last time or not, but as of now I really want the Realize band. I like the post-op support it has as well as the low profile port. I have heard a lot of people have had to get their port moved after they have lost the weight because it is really noticeable after a significant amount of weight has been lost. I really hope that I don't have to have that done as well, I just want to have this surgery, loose my weight, and then live a happy life.

Anyhow, I will type more later on after the class.... Later!!!

One Step Closer...

So I have already had my psychological testing and have been cleared for surgery and last week I had my blood work done. Now all I have left is the pulmonary appointment and the actual consultation my surgeon which are both this Wednesday. Hopefully I can get a surgery date then, I hope that I can. I just want the surgery over and done with so I can start on the next chapter of my life. Getting healthy, maintaining weight loss, and in 4 years or so starting a family. Sheesh! I can't believe that I am starting to think about having kids that soon.. WOW!!

Well, I have to go now, I will write more later on.

See ya!
