OH MMM GEEEE!!! I had my first consult today with the nutritionist. She seems very nice. I liked her. So far the team at the Center for Weight Loss at St. Francis has been amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Today was a great day however....accept for the leg shaving part but I will get to that in a second lol.
When I got into the office of course I got weighed and my vitals taken ....we do this every time. I get a little nervous. Not about the vitals but about the weight. I need to lose 35 lbs before the surgery to allow for room for the Dr to be able to get around my liver and stuff and also to make it easier on me, so every time I step on that scale I pray the diet I have been on works. Well...today I was shocked and totally excited about it. I have lost 8.2 (yes I'm adding the .2.....it counts! lol) pounds in two weeks! I couldn't believe it. I think that's a record for me! lol The nutritionist was very pleased and she said she was impressed. She said basically whatever I'm doing keep on doing it. The only things she wants me to do more of is more cardio and working out so I said no problem I will make that happen. I was just super excited. I hope I can keep up this momentum.
Ok.....so about the leg shaving part. This morning in the shower I debated...should I shave?? It had been a couple days so they weren't bad...but they were poky. I decided not to because today I was only going to be meeting with the nutritionist and the hematologist so I figured...why would they need to see my legs?? I couldn't have been more wrong lol. First the nutritionist looked at my legs to make sure they weren't swollen or had any pain in my calves. I said, "oh no I didn't shave!" lol she laughed with me (probably more at me lol) and said no worries. Just be glad it's not Dr. Srinkath lol. We laughed and I said," women might be a little more understanding about it" lol and then we just finished up and I moved on to the next appt. Well.....the handsome, young hematology Dr came in and we discussed my family history with the Lyden factor 5 and everything...and then he had me sit up on the table and next thing I know he's lifting my pant leg to look at my legs too!! I was like NOOOOO!!!!! Seriously so embarrassing!! " I started laughing again and I said," oh my gosh I am so embarrassed right now! lol I didn't shave ughh!" He turned his handsome little head and smiled and said," Don't worry this isn't the worse I've seen". lol WHYYYY?!?!?!?! LESSON LEARNED...SHAVE FOR EVERY APPT. at least he had a sense of humor lol. I swear...sometimes the stories I end up with along this journey in life only happen to me...or on a sitcom. My co-worker says I need to write a book lol.
