I had my consultation today!

Ok so I have about a month to get everything together before my next appointment with my surgeon. I don't have to do a 6 months diet so that's great but I do have to get myself mentally ready for what's to come. Nutrition is my main concern and I did explain that to my NUT. I want to make sure I have the tools to make my new tool work for me. I'm excite but nervous. I'm also happy I found this app. I've spent so much time reading a lot of ppl messages. I've been inspired and encouraged by everyone's journey.

I have done tons of research on all of the surgeries and this website has helped me prepare for the surgery. My date is October 25th and so glad to finally have a date.

I started by changing things a little at a time since my 1st appointment. Like going from whole milk,to 2% and now at 1% ,eating 100 % whole wheat bread (although I eat almost no bread now ),I went from country crock margarine to I can't believe it's not Butter. Caffeinated coffee, to half calf,now Decaf.

I have lost 22 lbs since June 8th, so I am doing ok. I have also lost 16 plus inches since July 30th and actually moving alot more. Just trying to get more steps in my day was avg of 300 steps a day now avg.3000 a day.

Do what works for you and you will be fine.
