The Waiting Game

Throughout this whole process everything has been a waiting game. 


Part of me thinks that you have to jump through so many hoops and everything is extended out so that you have time to make a decision on if this really the best choice for you.



Honestly I have appreciated the waiting game. The wait between appoitments, the wait to be approved on so many different levels because for me I take things in and I listen. I work to pick them apart within my head and then talk to others about these things. 

I will find out my results for my sleep study Tuesday and after that I can schedule an appointment with the surgeon for a pre-op appointment to talk about what would be next and how to move forward.  

This process started in October for me when I decided to sign up for the first seminar. It is now January and if all goes well I should have a pre-op appointment in the beginning of February. 

The biggest conversation I have waited to have is with my family. I have not talked to my parents or my brother and sister-in-law about me deciding that I wanted to do this for me. That moving forward with my life this is one of the choices that I need to make for me. 

I am excited about my decision but I need to have that conversation as I want my family to be supportive of me throughout this process. I know they will be but need to just have this conversation.

The group was filled with some interesting people to say the least all working on being qualified or making the decision if bariatric surgery was right for them.  My nutritionist asked a lot of questions and went over a lot of things during the seminar. But leaving I was ready to leave.. I knew what I had to do for the next month after leaving that group. I needed to track every single thing I ate for the next month and not gain any weight.. But eat better, low carbs, low sugar, no drinking anything within 30 minutes of eating! Essentially the gastric bypass diet once completely healed.  Before my seminar I had my abdominal ultrasound.. Which took just about an hour and a half.. When I got the results I kind of laughed... This may be TMI but I needed to Fart the whole tim...
