Getting started and nervous

[PSJ71 0]

Hi All,

I haven't been to the board in a couple of weeks because much has happened. On August 2nd my mom passed away and I'm still having a hard time with it. She has been ill for quite a while with COPD/Emphysema, but she was my best friend and I have no idea how I am going to get on without her. I am saddened because I wanted to have this done and to have lost a lot of weight before anything happened to her.

I do have some good news I think, though. I am going in for my H&P consultation with the surgeon on the 22nd. I am supposed to go for the psych evaluation and the nutrition consultation on the 26th, but I don't know if I am going to be able to go to that one because I don't have the money up front to pay for that. I find myself getting the jitters here and there, but I know I have to do this to keep myself on track with any type of diet. I have also become a vegetarian and it's been 33 days since I have eaten any meat and don't miss it. I am worried I am not getting enough Protein though.

Anyway, I'm sorry for rambling and I've missed you all. I'm just looking forward to getting everything done.

I am so sorry for your loss. It has been 12 years since I lost my Mom and I still miss her. Good luck on your new journey.

sorry for your loss but she will still see all you have accomplished so don't feel like she is missing it cause she isn't
