Fast Track City, Baby!

So, I've had the longest day...almost ever! It's late, and I'll TRY to make this brief.

I am so on the fast track to getting my surgery! I had some fabulous appointments today with a dietitian, a surgeon, and the program coordinator for the Freemont Bariatric group. My Psych. appointment is coming up on the 23rd of this month, and then after that, it SHOULD be a hop, skip, and jump to surgery! I am so excited by this! Coming this close to it, makes it all more real. I'm really working at having normal expectations, and realizing that even though this WILL be happening, I'll still be me and all my issues won't magically disappear overnight.

The only really funny thing that happened to me during this appointment is that the dietitian commented on my speech patterns. She wouldn't be the first one to tell me I talk funny! I keep thinking back to the title of that book about a disabled child..."Me Tauk Purty one day, Momma!" So I use all these funny little prepositional phrases like...I make a concerted effort, or something else like...whatever, so I talk like I'm either stuck up or educated or really that I read WAY TO MUCH! Thanks to my Master's program...Now I'll start talking like a scientific journal article...using all the big words like...discrete trial, and progressive time delay strategies, and research shows that...

I apologize already!

But...be happy for me too...surgery...here I come!

Jen's food journal:

Breakfast: protein shake, raspberries, yogurt
Lunch: 2 carrots, 1 piece fish, yogurt, banana
Dinner: Veggie salad with dressing on the side, 1 piece fish, yogurt, apple.

I got all my water, got SOME of my vitamins, and no cheating!

My meals were quite spread out today...I planned ahead, because I knew I'd be at a Dr.'s appointment, but she was running so very late, that I didn't eat lunch until almost 2:30pm. I think I was ready to start gnawing on the leather in my purse I was so hungry!

Love ya bunches!
