What was I going to blog about again?

Oh yeah! I am super excited/nervous about tomorrow. I decided to pursue looking into the Duodenal Switch and I have to meet with the other surgeon who might consider doing it. I'm pretty much off a lap band high right now. Don't get me wrong I still love those little helpers but I realized that with my insurance and the "once in a lifetime" payment I need to make sure that I think twice and cut once. I don't think that Dr C will do it to be honest. His staff didn't even have a billing code for it. I'm really worried that the RNY will help me in the beginning but then I will gain it back. I've heard some good things about the VSG's so is he shoots my DS down then I will try to talk him into the sleeve. I'm so ready for this surgery now. I still have two more months of my pre pre op diet and need to make sure I hit 30 pounds lost.

 

On another note I still enjoy going to WW meetings. They have helped me stay on track and have good health habits. I won't ever ever tell them I got the surgery though, I'm afraid they might attack me. You know how those diet cults are ;) But seriously I so looking forward to being a leader. That would be my dream job. It would be really hard to compete with J-Ball though... she is one tough cookie!

 

This weeks focus group challenge was to stay off the scale. It's A LOT harder than it sounds. Especially for me struggling to make it to the 20lb mark. I did weigh but didn't look down at the scale, made my hubby do it because I want to compare my weight post camping trip to my weight on Wednesday.

 

I'm worried that I have a ton of bloating from my period trying to come back after having a baby. Its only been seven months but I feel out of whack for sure. Not to mention that I gained six and a half pounds last week! I wanted to sit on the WW receptionist until she gave me better news. Oh well... one day at a time, right? I wonder, do diuretics really work?
