A Lot of Nothing :)

Jul 01, 2011

 There is nothing really to write about. I am just trying to keep in the habit of coming here.
 
 I had my session with J, my counselor today. I have been seeing him for years because of PTSD, depression, etc and he will be my counselor through the WLS as well.  I am buddies with him and his wife... not "Grill out and watch the game" kind of friends, but  "wave hello at church and give me a call sometime" buddies.  He is very excited for me having WLS and has been reading mental health sites so he will be brushed up / fresh on the info.... that means a lot to me.

   We talked some about my anxiety attack last Friday night.  He wants me to continue to picture myself going through the pre-surgery admission process but to be more aware of when I start feeling anxious.  I will call him as soon as I am halfway coherent after surgery - my sister will call him and let him know how I am doing. He said he and his wife may come visit if it is ok with me - I am thinking who cares if he hears me "toot",  I will love to have a grounding visit from him. 

   I have a busy day tomorrow. I keep planning to do so much towards exercising and I always seem to get through the day without it.  I did do a lot of hard work outside in the 98* heat today for about an hour.  Tomorrow morning I am doing maternity photos for a friend and my nephew has a 3pm baseball game, then back to work on Sunday (and July 4). 

Next week I see the NUT for the final time (6th visit) on Wednesday.  I have also emailed the fitness trainer who works in my employer's gym and she is going to do measurements, a fitness assessment and help me come up with a workout plan for the next few weeks pre-op.  We'll see where to go with it once I am cleared for working out again. 

 Each payday I buy a little something for my post-op kitchen. RIght now I don't cook at all, but I know that will have to change post-op.  I have printed some seemingly simple recipes from Nik and a few from eggface.  I bought a mini-chopper, a blender, a stick mixer (is that what it is called?  LOL ), a mini-loaf pan and today a mini-muffin pan.   Now I really need to clean and organize my kitchen so I have somewhere to put this stuff (along with the 3 bottles so far of SF syrup).


I guess I had more to write than I thought!  HA
