So I have mentioned before I have this list of things that either the insurance company or the doctor require for surgery. Last night, I went to my required support group meeting. I went alone which scared me. I am very much an introvert. I don't like new situations or crowds of people so this was going to be fun. It turned out that it wasn't too bad. I was expecting the typical TV AA meeting where everyone stands up and says "Hello, I am <insert name here> and I am fat.> And while some of the post-op people did tell their stories it wasn't really like that. We had a presentation about avoiding sugar for the holidays and ways to help us do that. It wasn't fun by any means, but it wasn't bad. Given the right circumstances, I could see me doing it again. I do have to do one more meeting post-op, but I could see me going back willingly every now and then. I exchanged numbers with a lady with a story similar to mine. She was a few months post-op and doing well. It was encouraging to me.
Other than that, we are just traveling right along through the rest of the things. I have almost completed the check list aside from my diet visits. I am excited about that. The diet is going ok. I am struggling with my fluid intake and head hunger but I have stayed within my calories all days except for two. I am food journaling. I hate it, but it is a necessary evil for me. It holds me accountable for my choices. I have exercised every day this month. I am proud of myself.
Well, I guess that is about all for now. Until next time...
