Appointments and more appointments.

Over the past month on top of being seen at the bariatric clinic we have had none stop appointments. A Chest Xray, Abdominal Ultrasound, sleep study (done last night by the way), a complete history and physical (done today by our family doctor), and two appointments next week as well. He will see his cardiologist next week to be cleared for surgery. He will also see a gastroenterologist to get set up for a upper endoscopy. I think that is what they called it. It will be considered a minor surgery. He will be put under anesthesia and they will stick a tube down his throat because of his GERD. AKA acid reflux. What fun. The worst part is that his schedule is being changed at work so now he will be working days (good for us we get to see daddy, bad for appointments he will have to use vacation time). They have also done tons of blood work. He has been seen at the bariatric place by the doctor twice now. As well as a dietitian and exercise guy (I don't know his technical name sorry!). He will be seen monthly until we have everything ready for the surgery!

Positive note weight loss now totals 22 lbs! All this was accomplished by just changing what we eat and how! I still cheat! So no loss here. Or at least I don't think their is so I haven't weighed myself! I can't stop craving sweets! Pop and chocolate are my weaknesses! I want to do better I have no will power!

I know a good part of my problem is that the kids keep me so busy sometimes that I go without eating only to over eat at dinner time. I really need to start planning the entire days meals! I have no idea how to do that! I'm not a idiot! I just never had to think about food at all before. For most of my life I was to skinny! Not for lack of eating!
