Monday I met the surgeon, she was really great
Next I met the nutritionist...I hate her...but then she does have me on a 1500 calorie a day diet lol
She gave me 3 goals to work on this month. Protein with every meal, 64 oz of water a day, and 180 min a week of execise.
Reasonable I think..
I also met with the surgery scheduler.. I have to get a pulmonary clearance, cardiac clearance, diabetes clearance, pshych clearance, see the exercise physiologist, get an upper GI, ultrasound of my liver, chest x-ray, bloodwork, get a letter from my PCP and a few other things.,
I had to swear I would quit smoking, forever, had to sign a paper :/
By surgery date I have to be 100% off caffiene, and carbonation
I do not have to lose weight in my 6 month holding pattern, but I cannot cain an ounce
There is more but I think you get the idea :) I feel like a total hypocrate..I always swore I wouldn't do this, but ya know...I need to live my life to please me..and be the healthiest, happiest me I can be.
Btw, if you can't guess what type of surgery I am having...shame on ya.
