Sorry it has taken me so long to summarize the last meeting. I was out of town again. I have attached PDF's of my Dr's nutrition info. Lots of info. We discovered that some Dr.s don't provide detailed info. Please use as a guide and follow your Dr's instructions.
We also talked about goals and how they should be SMART, see attached pic. If I say I want to run a 5k in 4 weeks and I've never run before, that wouldn't be a SMART goal, not realistic. We can expand on this more later. We also talked about being on track. For example if your goal is to drop weight and you are consistently, then what you are doing is "working", if not then you need to change what you are doing.

I had my first "overeat" meal on my vacation. I had my first hamburger and it was delicious. Well I ate way too much and had to run to the bathroom to toss my Cookies, the rest of the night I felt gross. I learned my lesson. I also ate a bunch of crap I shouldn't be eating. Vacation over, time to clean it all up.
Next meeting August 19 6:30 pm at patio outside Corner Bakery in Lake Forest off El Toro Road in Orchard center. I may not be there but I will give some info. Hopefully after the summer is over we can meet on a more regular basis, like twice a month.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
