I had my third pre-bypass surgery life skills class tonight. Like the other two classes, this one was divided into two parts. In the first part, the dietician did a review of post-surgery nutrition, then gave us our “final exams” (it was 24 ridiculously easy questions!). In the second part, the nurse case manager went [...]

Freaking my Mind
Posted in Uncategorized on September 24, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Several events in the last several days have caused a lot of stress and anxiety for me. In short, they have caused me to freak out. I don’t mean that I’ve lost control – I’m just really stressed. Here are the reasons -
I have begun to get the jitters about my impending gastric bypass surgery. [...]
09-22-08 – Second Life Skills Class
Posted in weight loss, tagged gastric bypass surgery on September 22, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I had my second of three life skills classes tonight as part of the prep for gastric bypass surgery. Tonight’s topics were psychology and exercise physiology. The psychologist talked about changes that may take place after surgery, both in how we perceive the outside world, and how the outside world perceives us. We also went [...]
09-18-08 – More Pain
Posted in weight loss, tagged back pain on September 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I spent most of today alternating between my sofa and my bed after burning a vacation day because I could hardly move this morning. I had gotten to the point where the pain wasn’t as bad, but I think the backtracking I did on my meal plans, food logging and walking over the past several [...]
09-17-08 – The Return of Pain
Posted in weight loss, tagged back pain on September 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I think I pulled or twisted something which has exacerbated my back, hip and leg pain. I got out of a meeting at work yesterday, and I was standing in the hallway talking to a co-worker about the wonderful Presidential election going on (she’s for Obama, I’m for NOTA). So, we agreed that, in general, [...]
09-15-08 – 1st Life Skills Class
Posted in weight loss, tagged gastric bypass surgery, life skills class, weight loss surgery on September 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I had my first pre-bypass surgery life skills class tonight. The subject was post-surgery nutrition. The first month after surgery will be all pureed foods and liquids. After that, I will proceed to soft foods for a while. We did a taste test of some protein drinks. The first one was vanilla, and it tasted [...]

Not much to post tonight. I finally posted a food log today. It wasn’t the greatest, and it’s not complete – I didn’t add up all the serving groups and fat content, but, I’ve been so bad at doing my food log lately, I figure anything is better than nothing. I didn’t get enough fruit [...]

I’ve been having trouble sticking to my plan. I thought at some point last week that I had finally turned the corner and started getting back on track, but then I fell off the bandwagon again. Because I haven’t been following my meal plan, I’m feeling really tired and cranky. And, then, of course, I [...]
09-07-08 – Bad Weekend

OK, this weekend was pretty bad. I didn’t follow my meal plan, didn’t go out walking, etc. It seems to be my story line for the past several weeks. My food log is kaput, so what’s wrong? I wish I had an answer to that question. Just when I thought I was getting back on [...]
09-02-08 – Healthy You Challenge Update

It seems like a while since I’ve done one of these. That’s probably because it has been a while. I lost my 35 pounds lost banner after returning from vacation a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been struggling to get back on track ever since.
The bad news is, I still don’t have the 35 [...]
