Getting ready for gastric sleeve surgery soon. On the 10th I'll attend a pre-op educational class, have an EKG, blood work done, urinalysis, anesthesia evaluation, weight, Vital Signs, and a physical exam. All of this to ensure that I am physically ready to proceed with surgery.
(Had a psychological evaluation done this past summer which included demographics, medical history, sleep habits, social aptitude, any substance use, dieting history, a questionnaire about my eating habits, family history, psychological history and a 500 question questionnaire about how I feel and think about life, an eating style evaluation- how I feel and think about food. And, an evaluation by psychiatrist.) All this took about 4 hours.) in addition I've had for doctor's appointments with the surgeon, and three or four appointments with a nutritionist. I started this process May 1st. so it's taken 8 months to get here. during this time I've also had some heart issues that put things on hold. I now have a pacemaker and had a cardiac ablation done in Oct.(I've had my heart shocked back into Rhythm seven times in the past 4 years.)
On a side note,😁😁😁😁 I'm replacing my dinner plates, bowls, glassware, etc. with smaller versions- ones that hold 1/4, 1/2, and one cup amounts.
Drinking plenty of liquids, taking vitamins, walking and getting adequate sleep.
Made homemade vegetable broth and some sugar free jello today.
I'm listening to The Obesity Code. It's enlightening!
