Weightloss Journey part 3

Hey Dolls I have another weight loss update for you… So I met with the Registered Dietician Tiffany and with Dr. Gornichec. The meeting with Tiffany went really well. She only gave me a few goals: Drink at least 64 oz of hydrating liquids with little to no caffeine or carbonation, start walking at least 10 minutes a day (she recommended finding a cheap treadmill), and stop skipping lunch. She said that it looks like there are days where I don’t get up to 1200 calories and that’s bad so she wants me to start eating a proper lunch and dinner. Other than that it was all good I was relieved to find out that the $120 co pay was for all three times I get to see her. She is really nice and funny.

Then I met with my surgeon Dr. Gornichec, who was also really nice and funny. He made a comment that I thought was really funny and those of you who know me or have met me will think so too. He was feeling my tummy and liver and said “Now you probably won’t believe me but your pretty small up here you carry all your weight in you bottom, hips, and thighs.” I was like Ha ha no I totally believe that... LOL … He said my live is small which was shocking to me all the crap I used to put it through. He said all my vitamin levels are where they should be the only thing he said to start doing is take an Omega 3 every day because my cholesterol was a bit high. He said my “echo” showed that the left side of my heart is working harder than the right side. The next time I see him will be on the 20^th of April. Before than I have to go in for an “EGG?” they are going to knock me out and put a camera through my throat to look at my stomach and make sure there are no ulcers or anything to watch out for before surgery. 

Next step is my sleep study on Tuesday the 29^th. I am not excited about trying to sleep somewhere I am not comfortable but it has to be done. 

Dr. Gornichec said that when I see him on 20^th he should have the response from my insurance and he should be able to give me a surgery date. I could be getting the surgery early May. 

He did confuse me and my choice for the surgery I am getting… What do you guys think? Gastric Bypass VS Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy??

RE: Brand

Hey Dolls hope everyone is doing well today - I came across these videos on YouTube a while back but wanted to share them with you. When you think about Russell Brand what do you think of aside from Katy Perry? Potty Mouth, Hilarious, ex drug addict, among many others. Well watch this for some good perspective...
