WLS 3
Well I went to Dr V's mandatory lecture on Wednesday and the room was pretty full, some people smaller than me, some the same size and others quite larger.
My mom went with me and it was a very educational lecture.
When I got home I started reading the packet of info that they gave us and have already got most of it filled out, I do need to do my 7 day food diary for my appointment with Dr V but I have three weeks to get that done, I know 3 weeks isn't that long, so I am going to start my food Diary on monday.
I also have my consult scheduled for May 25th. They offered me a late morning appointment on the 19th but I was concerned with getting to work 'on time'.
I have a co-worker who also went to the same lecture but it doesn't seem to me that she is 'serious' at this time, she just seems so relaxed and says I'll get to it later. I'm like, I'm ready to make this step, in fact I called the doctor's office once on Thursday, and was told that the scheduler would call me Friday afternoon, so I tried to call her on friday during my lunch (I go to lunch around 1:30 - 1:45) but was again told, the scheduler calls patients on Friday afternoons. So I waited until 4:45 and then I called again, this time they let me speak with the Scheduler and I was able to make that appointment.
So now the wheels are turning, I am seeing some progress, and am excited to meet with Dr. V. I did ask the Scheduler if I needed to set up any appointments with the nutritionist or others and she said, no to wait until after my first consult with Dr. V.
Well that's all for now, I'm not sure if I will update anymore before my consult, but for sure will update this page after my consult.....Until then.... ΒΆ 4:33 PM
