Been a minute

It's been a wee bit since I posted because of finale's week. That's done. Thank god.

Since last I wrote here, I decided Byetta wasn't going to be part of my tool box. However the choice really wasn't mine to make. My PCP did some blood work, to check my cholesterol, sugars, thyroid etc, things that would indicate that I was pre-diabetic or had metabolic syndrome and come to find out I don't have any indicators, at all.

So yeah! I'm healthy. I'm fat and healthy but that's why the surgery is going to be fantastic for me.

I'm still gung ho about it. I've got my appointments set until September. I'm seeing the psychologist shortly to work on my food issues and I've got my CPAP machine. So hopefully that will allow me to get better rested and better prepared to take on this giant monster of eating disorder.

The upcoming posts are really going to be more about what's going on in my head than about the WLS process. I do want to dig into why I eat like I do and why I feel the way I feel about myself. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Strangely enough the personal stuff. The real up close and private stuff about me the girl up north are on the other blog. There may come a time I'll have to blend the two. But for now, this is about my relationship to food and body. That one is about my relationship I have with my heart and the people I love.

K, enough said.

Adjusted

So I've adjusted my thinking and my time line. The surgery will happen. Absolutely. It's just going to be 6 months later than I thought.

There's plenty to do between here and there. I've scheduled every one of my appointments with the PCP. But there is school and the house and work and living and I can't let this thing get set me back. And I wont.

Looking at careers, what is the best direction to take my change. Market Manager might be the ticket.

Upbeat, Fat and still very happy.
