Okay today I followed up with calling for the appointments needed for obtaining the goal. Made an appt with nutritionist and physical therapy, and left a message for the psychiatrist.
I had today off from work and when I have the day off it is so hard for me to stay on my diet. My mom likes to eat out alot and she likes to do things with me on my day off so we ended up having a hard time sticking to a meal plan.

Okay, to start I went to an informational meeting about a month ago and was weighed in 2 days later @310lbs. And I was told I need to lose 18 lbs before surgery.
I went to my first official appt. last Friday, and was weighed in @302.5lbs, initially my thought was wow 1/2 way there then my thought was don't lose it to fast you'll never keep it off.
The np and I talked about different types of surgery and the steps I need to take to get there. And she told me that it was going to be about 3 months. Which was a lot sooner than I was expeting. Which is a god thing I am sooo ready to do this.
Told my boss that I was going to be out for 3-4 weeks he wasn't happy but he still seems supportive of the surgery.
I am realizing though that not everyone is supportive. If I were to say I am having heart surgery I don't think I would get the negative responses. So I have decided that the only people I need to talk about this with are the ones tht support me or atleast keep thier opinions to themselves. It surprises me which people are supportive andwhich ones are not.
I don't think people realize how big of a decision this is, I am not going in for a face lift or a boob job. I also still think people think of this as the easy route. Today I told someone (who is supportivez) about me having the surgery and her resonse was, "that's great but I think I'll do it the HARD WAY".
Someone please tell me what is easy about picking invasive surgery!!!
