Went to my last (hopefully) appointment today! Now I just wait for my surgery, 10 more days! NP today said, "At this time, we are planning on seeing you on the morning of the 18th!!" I'm starting to get a little excited. I have all of my necessities in place. I have food ready to go. I have my plans and my back-up plans, and my back-up back-up plans in place and ready to be initiated! I am ready. I have needed this for a while and I'm ready...really ready. LOL.
This is the next step in my crusade to get better. I know I've been slacking but I'm tired, I know that isn't an excuse but this is kind of why this surgery is a tool that I need. My hope is that it will give me the boost over this curb and get me to a place where I can do it. Even with my minimal losses in March, they are very happy with my results. I probably already told you guys this but I don't even have to do the liver reduction diet that everyone has to do. I'm counting it as a win even if I'm losing the battle right now...I'm still winning the war. I just need to get back on track and start losing again.
I've got 10 days to get my act together.
I am back to eating at the right times again. I'm back to keeping my eating and drinking separate (for the most part), but I haven't decreased my carbs enough yet. That's two things that I need to get right again. I hate to sound like a broken record but...I'm working on it! I swear! The hard part is knowing that once I have the surgery...I won't have a choice...it'll be sink or swim time and sinking...won't be an option! So...little steps but I'm getting there.
I'm back to walking again and that is big! I was really worried that I wasn't going to be walking well before the surgery. If I can "up the dosage" in this ten days that will really help.
I also STILL don't have teeth. They were supposed to get them in today but...they didn't, boy am I SHOCKED. Now they are saying tomorrow but they will only say that they should be in by 9:30 am. So I will be calling tomorrow to make sure that they got there and then I will go in on Wednesday to get them fitted, if they in fact are in. At this point...I have no confidence in these people. I have been toothless for OVER 2 months. I am beyond angry. My kids are calling it "Comcast angry"...that's pretty angry. LOL. If they don't have them tomorrow...I won't be able to get my teeth until after my surgery.
I know I've been doing a lot of emotional eating. I have a lot on my plate right now and some people that I love are in bad places right alongside me so...I've been eating late into the night, I've been eating things that I shouldn't eat, and I've been eating more of those things to "fill up that hole". Talked to my therapist about it today and she gave me some things to work on this week and we will talk again about it next Monday. Hopefully some of this will sink in or make sense or...whatever and I can rein it in.
Here's hoping I can get 'er done! Hope you guys are too!! :)
