Hi! I had my two appointments with the surgeon and the nutritionist today. It went well. GREAT NEWS! Im having my surgery on August 6th! I have to meet next week again with Ashley (nutrionist) on Friday before going into surgery. We have to discuss diet after surgery and the understanding of the whole thing of it. I mentioned in an earlier blog that I had to keep track of everything I ate. That went well, it made me realize what I was eating (mostly all carbs) and it helped me be aware of everything that I was going to put in my mouth. I lost 6 pounds doing this! Go figure. I currently weigh 119.6 pounds. I dont have to keep track of my eating habits anymore BUT even though I'm not documenting my intake of food, I am still concious of what Im eating.
I was fortunate enough that I did not need additional testing. Blood work I'll have done on my post-followup. I was however given a presciption for my cholesterol which I will need to take for a month. Once a month has passed after my surgery, blood work will be drawn to see if the need to continue my meds is necessary.
