Okay so the 10th has come and gone – Started my day with a well woman’s exam (that was awesome… not). Discussed my birth control and she suggested Seasonique… I have been on the depo shot for like 9 years so I am not excited about the change but the surgeon’s office said that the depo is not good when you’re considering surgery. But the Seasonique is a pill you take and you have your cycle 1 time every 3 months. I have not been normal in that area in years because of the depo.
Then I went and had an “echo” done and the awesome pulmonary function test and stress test. Ok so I had no idea what the pulmonary function test was, basically for those of you who don’t know either… You sit in a chair and have a mouth piece that you breathe into and a nose clip to prevent any air coming out of your nose. The nurse has you do several breathing tests to measure lung function and capacity. It was hard because you really have to push ALL the air out of your lungs. Then the wonderful stress test, you wear a head piece that holds the mouth piece- and you get to wear the nose clip again... and you sit on a stationary bike and pedal your heart out. The bike gradually like every 2-4 seconds it ramps up the resistance. I was able to get to a heart rate of 163 and a rampage amount of 165 and damn it was hard. At the begging the resistance was stupid easy then within like 4 minutes it was really hard. The bike seat is really hard and uncomfortable also- when I got home dang my tushie was sore…
Then I met with the psychiatrist. He was awesome… annoying but awesome. Kept me laughing and I say annoying only because the he kept challenging what I was saying. Emphasis on “Can’t” and anxiety. He said I am an oppositionist and need to make friends. LoL! But he said he thinks I am going to do great but definitely going to struggle. But he was excited because I said I was going back to school in conjunction with the surgery so I am putting myself out there.
Hopefully I will have some pictures up soon. I am hesitant to post because I look horrid and feel disgusting. But who wouldn’t feel that way when you are the biggest you have ever been. This is also new and scary having this on the web and out there for anyone to know.
I have a support group meeting on Tuesday night so I will update you then to let you know what is going on… Also… for anyone else considering getting weight loss surgery go to YouTube and search for your surgery, it has been very informative and calming.
