I weighed in at 245 -- gained 2 lbs since last visit. Ugh.
I am not as worried about the gain(s) as I was before now that Nurse Jennifer said that she's never seen an insurance denial because someone had gained weight. Plus she asked me if Dr. G told me I had to lose weight before surgery (he did not) because sometimes he asks patients to lose a percentage, or in one ladies' specific case, 50 lbs. before surgery.
Ashton and I went over how I did with last month's goals. I admitted (again) that I hadn't walked any. However, I was more aware of my fried food intake and gave up soda completely. Which I am proud of!
This month's goals: Walk 3 times a week for 20 minutes, do not drink with dinner, keep a food journal, and I forget the 4th.
She gave me an Unjury brand sample of vanilla protein shake and I made it for breakfast Tuesday morning. It tasted ok but I needed to have blended it a lot better -- didn't like the chunks of powder even though I shook the shit out my Tervis.
Oh I just remembered my 4th goal: to only have high calorie sweets ONCE a week. I already screwed that one up and it's only Wednesday.
Tomorrow I go see a psychic I've been wanting to see. We have a one hour one on one session and I am looking forward to hearing what she has to tell me.
Before I left the bariatric office, Hope made my last three NUT appointments and then she also made my one hour appointment with Ashton (the NUT) where she will do a "writeup" for the insurance company submission for surgery approval.
Hope said that as long as I get everything checked off the list and insurance comes back in about a week, I should be scheduled for surgery as early as late May to early June. Just in time for my 37th birthday.
I am too excited!
