So disappointed in myself :( Failed Appointment :(

Dec 11, 2014

so today was the big 3 appointment day for me....of course this area got hit with 15 cm of snow overnight, so we left Oshawa at 6:30 am for my 9:00 am appointment and didn't get there until closer to 9:30 am! They completely understood as some patients cancelled and some staff did not come in. My first appointment was with Nina, the dietician. She was very friendly and easy to talk to. We spent over an hour together, and then she informed me that she was going to ask me to come back. She wants me to focus on mindful eating and emotional eating....which I totally did not think I have ever had, nor do I still. She says because I mentioned wanting or eating something sweet at night because I am comfortable and sort of bored, that falls under the emotional eating umbrella! This is why people LIE! She gave me a list of things she wants me to focus on and then to go back and see all 3 appointments again in one month.....which is booked for January 19/15. I am very frustrated.....I have researched bariatric surgery for close to 2 years now. She wants me to work on healthier choices, eating on a smaller plate, using smaller utensils, and not eating at night when bored at all! I need to find and document what I am doing instead. I also have to have something to eat every 3 hours. The Social Worker appointment was about 15 minutes, very quick, and she just wants to know that in a month I am still not eating a sweet snack at bedtime. The nurse I was also with for over an hour and she was amazing, I loved her. I then went and did 10+ vials of blood work and then she will review that with me when I go in January.
