Week 5 Review, and great news!

9 lbs lost!

Okay, finally got my appointment with the surgeon today.  She was super pleased with our progress.  I lost 9 lbs, and hubby lost 10.  We're on a roll!  She got our psych evals and they were good.  Next is blood tests and stuff like that.  We're doing that tomorrow.  I HATE getting blood taken, but it's for a good reason!

Today, the doctor gave me and my hubby each a binder with lots and lots of information in it, and they had our names on them!  They have pages on nutrition stuff, pre-op stuff, a calendar of seminars, a bunch of things I should probably read. :p

I won't lie, this past week has been emotional turmoil.  I've been depressed, freaked out, broke down.  It's been hard.  I've been struggling.  In spite of this, I've choked down salads and turned away ice cream and pizza.  I've looked at the nutrition facts of everything I put in my mouth.  Me and my husband are each other's support.  We try to keep each other behaving.  I couldn't do this without him.
