Options, Dieticians and Journalling...

Hi to All.

I had quite a successful day yesterday,

I am on this weight wise program,

that is a pre screening for 

Gastric Bypass.

I have been on the list for almost two years

and I called yesterday out of curiosity to see when or if I am getting close.

After a couple of hours I found out that my Consultation will be sometime

in April but they are not making any more appointments until January.

So I know I am getting closer, and I will not make a decision 

until after the consultation. 

After finding that out, I then called back and asked if I could speak to one of the Dieticians,

she was so kind, I was on the phone with her over an hour.

She talked to me about the importance of writing everything down in a journal,

so that I can recognize problem times, 

areas of improvement, and the Consultation with the Surgeons will want to see this too.

I told her What I was Doing and told her about my blog and the support system.

She was thrilled with what I am doing, She told me to call her anytime.

She also asked me about Cataplexy as she had never heard of it.

I have know very few people that have known about it.

My point for starting both of my blogs was to make people aware of others,

that sometimes what you think is wrong is not.

Sadly some people I have encountered have thought I was drunk

because you lose muscle paralysis and you can fall to the floor,

you can hear people asking if your okay, or saying I think she may have been drinking,

and you lay there thinking, hey Laaaady, I have not had a drink, and I will be okay

in just a minute or so. That does get annoying sometimes.

So it was nice the dietician was so interested,

anyway last night I made a journal form that I will follow and see how it works.

I will be trying to have my largest meal at noon as well, seems I was eating too much at supper time.

so thats where I am at today.

Hope you are all well,

Remember,

Right now is the best time to keep going.
