The only thing standing between me and submitting to my insurance is a sleep study at this point. Which, I have to say, is a little frustrating. Not because I need to do one -- I'm guaranteed to be a sufferer of apnea, it's because my doctor ordered this back in May as an in-house …
Class #3 in the books…
I attended my final weight loss class. It was actually called my "binder" class, which is a class to go over the binder materials I was given at my first bariatric appointment with Dr. Long. For the most part we went over the dietary needs the week proceeding surgery and the 6 weeks post-op. A …
Peace…
It's been forever since I've written. Just so much going on. We're in the middle of preparing our house for sale. After years of back and forth, Frank and I are going to bite the bullet and buy my/our dream house -- Richmond American's Seth model over in Crystal Valley (for those of you who …
WL Class #2…
Well, I successfully had my 2nd of three weight loss classes last Friday. One more and a "binder" class (where they go through the binder you are given at your first appointment) and I can be submitted to insurance for full approval! That's when I'll get my surgery date. If all goes well, I anticipate …
Habits…
Working to create new habits and shed some old ones. One of the hardest for me is actually to NOT drink water while I eat. I was never very conscious of the fact that I literally was down my food, but I do. One of the medications I take, Vyvanse actually makes my mouth pretty …
Off the Rails…
I have gone seriously off the rails the last few days and I'm super disappointed in myself. Of course I know this isn't going to be a perfect journey, it's just I was being so consistent. I haven't walked since last week -- and yes, it was a busy and crazy stressful week, but …
Good day ahead…
Finally, a day of rest. Along with my real estate endeavors, I'm back part-time at my former company. The pay is amazing and it fills a void of brain usage that I crave. It's currently a public company that has just been bought and will go private here in a few months, which is a …
Just keep walking…
Such a brighter outlook today. I went walking with my neighbor and good friend. I love girl time so much! She, like me, struggles with yo-yo'ing. But we're both trying hard and heading in the right direction, I think. It was good to talk through some things with her today -- nothihg specific, just a …
So much to consider…
I been feeling a little overwhelmed the last few days. Mixed emotions. I have been so busy the last few weeks marking off all the "have to's" for my weight loss surgery that I hadn't really been thinking of the gravity of things. I recently joined a couple of WLS groups on FB. It's been …
