Grocery Shopping

 Grocery shopping... It is something I hate to do for many reasons. I hate how I feel walking through the store. It makes me tired. I hate spending the money. I hate it because I don't make the best choices, even when I go in with the best of intentions. I could go on and on for a while with the reasons I don't want to do it. When I started this journey, I told John that he would have to do the grocery shopping from now on. I have been twice since then. I did my shopping last week after seeing my bariatric doctor, then I went today to shop for the family. While I did make a couple impulse purchases they were healthy ones! I am so grateful to God for His goodness and mercy. Without Him I couldn't do this.

My New Diet

 I haven't posted anything about this yet and I am not sure why. I guess I didn't want to post just to "put something out there." Any way, as part of my insurance requirements for surgery, I have to go on a 3 month medically supervised diet. Dr. W (Bariatrics) put me on a 1200 calorie diet and Dr. D (PCP) will supervise my diet for the 3 months. My first diet appointment is Thursday, but I have been dieting since the first so today is day 5. So far everything is going ok. I am not hungry like I thought I would be. In fact, I am not hungry at all. I eat 3 meals a day. My blood sugar keeps dipping so I am going to have to talk to Dr. D about that. On a different note, I got the clearance I needed from my neurosurgeon for surgery. Thankfully, we are just checking things off the list!
