Doctor Visit

We had a REALLY bad storm Tuesday and our internet was flaky most of the week, so I couldn't stay connected long enough to write a long post. I went to my appointment Tuesday. My surgeon was called away for an emergency, and usually they would have canceled my appt. but they just hired a new nurse practitioner to help out. Eventually she will be doing fills as well, so that it won't be such a long wait to get a fill appointment. She's very nice and she didn't mind talking to me for awhile about what I've been going through.

She was also the first one in that office to tell me that the band just might not be working for me. I've thought about that several times, but I can't give up on my band. She actually did some research for me and she's pretty sure that my band is 14cc, which sucks because it might take awhile yet before I hit my sweet spot. I have to give fills a chance though before saying that it just won't work for me. DH is also VERY against me having any revision surgery. I would do the sleeve if I had to do something else. He said that he only agreed to the band because it didn't seem as risky and nothing was really physically changed inside me, he thinks the other surgeries are too drastic.

She told me that I should stop eating the diet frozen dinners though (Lean Cuisine, Smart Ones, Healthy Choice) because they are too high in sugar and sodium. The only problem with that though is that I don't know what I can take to work instead that is under 400 calories, and I like that my portions are controlled with them. I don't know what to do about that. She did get a fill scheduled for me though, I have to call Monday to find out when it is. I'm in a strange position right now; I still get stuck on food, but I can still eat quite a bit. Sucks.

I haven't went walking since last Sunday because of support group, work, and just didn't feel like it because of work. It's been a very stressful week at work for me, but good at the same time since my boss was only in the office for about 4 hours the entire week. I skipped my walk this morning because I had lots of stuff to do; my niece is coming up to stay with us for awhile, then going to a convention with us. I haven't had a houseguest other than DH's friends that are here every week, so I haven't had a reason to do a thorough house cleaning until now. But, even though I skipped my walk, I was sweating like crazy while cleaning the floors!

It's going to be bad food galore this week: Wednesday - barbeque, then Thursday - Sunday is nothing but take out and restaurants. I've been trying to figure out non-perishable healthier snacks I could take with me, but I couldn't think of anything that actually fills me up. I WILL be drinking Crystal Light the whole time though.
