Ok, I’m bout 10 days from my surgery. Lots of little details coming all together, and for as much as I’ve read, learned, etc over the last few months… and I keep coming up with more and more information. I thought I would share a few things.
WLS is not a cure, it’s a tool… but like you need saw blades to use a saw the surgery as a tool needs “blades” to go with it.
Ok, while I am going to be eating a lot less, I’ll still be eating. Since McDonalds will be out of the picture I will need to be cooking. I heard about this book.. Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery. My sister ended up getting it for me for Chritmas. Another one I found was Recipes for Life After Weight-Loss Surgery. In browsing through these, they both have some intesting recipes that look really good.

No… not of winter. Of waiting.
The psychologist finally submitted the paperwork to my surgeon last week and they called me Monday to let me know they have it all and will be contacting the insurance company for approval.
The nurse said it could take two-four weeks to hear back from them, at which point I’ll be able to get the surgery scheduled, and it’s typically a couple weeks for that. So I could be going under the knife by the end of April… or earlier (hopefully).
I have not been as focused on losing… I’ve lost more than enough to meet the pre-op requirements. I’m trying to focus on habits. Things like no drinking during meals, getting exercise, and just trying to make better decisions in eating.
I just placed another order of protein powder through trueprotein.com and decided to check out something new (well, new in that I just found it…).
I got my usual unflavored, unsweetened whey isolate cfm, and while I enjoy having the unflavored for cooking with and like making up whatever flavor shake I’m in the mood for, there are some flavors I just can’t really do on my own.
So if you’re like me, or just don’t like having a bunch of these HUGE jugs of protein around in order to have some variety, True Protein has you covered with flavor packs.
