:mad: OMG! I am so bad about writting in this journal!!! I already went to the Dr. then about a week later had my blood test, upper GI, ultrasound (gall bladder, liver, stomach, etc.). It has been about 1 week since all that happened. I haven't heard anything from the Dr. yet so I guess everything went OK and we are just waiting to hear from insurance. I don't know if they will let me know or let the Dr. know and the Dr. let me know??? I did pretty good the first week I was on a diet, lost 4 lbs. then gained 1 lb this week. Booo!! I had a candy spree last week on candy I had bought for school. Yeah right! I wound up eating a lot of it!! I've been doing better the last couple of days tho. Although I am hungry tonight. I was going to bring some pretzels to work and I didn't get them. I did have a salad but it just didn't satisfy me.:hungry: I've got to keep my eye on the goal. The Dr. wants me to lose 15 to 30 lbs. before surgery. I have at least 2 months before I can have the surgery. Maybe I can lose some by then. I was suppose to go to the nutritionist yesterday and I completely forgot about it. I got busy at school and when I thought about it, it was to late to go!! I'll have to call and try to make an appointment in 2 weeks. I think that is when she has another class. I've got to get my head out of my a##!!!
OK, I had my Dr. appt. this week. Now I am set up for blood work on 3-15 and diet consult on 3-22-06. Then I have to wait for the insurance stuff I guess. I paid my down payment so I'm on my way! Exciting and scary! I have wanted to eat everything in sight. I am suppose to lose between 15 and 30 lbs. by surgery time. YIKES! Not doing real good so far. Went to Shoney's Friday for seafood. Had some fried stuff. Should have eaten more crab legs, but that means more butter. Sigh...:rolleyes Last night went to El Sazon had chicken soup which wasn't too bad but ate a basket full of chips and cheese dip. Going to Lemon Grass tonight for Scott's birthday. Probably won't do to bad there. Had a McDonald's Grilled Chicken Sandwich - no fries - for lunch. Chewed gum today so I haven't been too hungry today. Gum helps - gives me something to do with my mouth. I had 2 panic attacks this week, lasted a couple of minutes then went away. I just sat down and waited for it to go away. Pretty good mood today.
:clap2: Yea!! I got my appt. set up today. They had a cancellation this Thursday and I got it. 3/9/2006 I'm excited and scared also. It helped me to throw back some candy that I had gotten out of the dish at school today.
Can't wait!!
