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##!!!
