SO Close!

Today I met with the nutritionist again. She said I'm progressing very well, but I'm not quite there yet. She wants me hitting 12-14g of protein 5-6 times a day consistently before she signs off on moving forward with my surgery. My next appointment with her is in 2 weeks. She is the last person I'm waiting on to sign off before I can talk with the surgeon and get the surgery schedule.

She told me to email my food report to her next week, and I've hit it everyday, then she will sign off.

The changes I've been making in my diet seem to be helping, though. I mean, last night, after my shower last night, when I wrapped my towel around me, it touched end to end instead of there being a 3+ inch gap between the ends. I know it is a little thing, but I was so excited to see that. Then I got on the dreaded scale at the doc's office to have it tell us I've lost 12 lbs since my initial consultation. (Jumping up and down for joy!!!) 12 lbs in 6 weeks, that's probably better than any weight loss program I've done in the last decade.
