Big Day Tomorrow!

Well, tomorrow is the big day! Tomorrow is my last dietitian appointment and appointment with my bariatric surgeon, Dr. Laura Choi. Either tomorrow or Wednesday, the office will submit everything to my insurance company, Cigna-all the tests results, notes from doctor visits, etc. They will also set a surgery date, which I have  a feeling will be the first week of November. So exciting. Once I have a date, it will feel real!

I am very mindful of what I will weigh when I step on the scale tomorrow. I have been riding the fine line for the last few months of not losing too much weight. If I lost 9 pounds, I would disqualify, if I gained I would disqualify, and my end weight (tomorrow) has to be less than my starting weight.  It's exhausting, but I worth while. I would like to go into the surgery as low as possible, so I have less to lose post surgery.

All the appointments, all the tests, all the consultations, will culminate into something real. I am already thinking ahead to how I'm going to look at goal and have worked to change my diet and exercise habits. I have to say, it's a really exciting time. I already feel better mentally and emotionally just knowing a change is about to happen.

I'll keep you posted on how things go tomorrow.
