Went to see the dietitian again today. She said I'm doing ok. I've only got 5 more pounds to lose to be on track. So I should be ok.
She set me up with one more appointment with her, then I have to take a class in June. Gosh this is really dragging out. I was hoping to have my surgery in June... not a stupid class. At this rate, I'll do the class and then there won't be an open surgery date till Ju-fricken-ly. I'm never going to lose the 75 lbs I needed to lose in time to get the reconstruction on my boobs. If it rolls into next year it'll be another $5000 that I just don't have. This sucks.
I hate life today.
Oh, on a slightly more positive note. I had my first sleep apnea appointment today too, and the doctor is sure I have sleep apnea. She scheduled me for a sleep-over test and gave me a sleeping pill to take so that I can for sure sleep that night.
She said that I have a small jaw which makes the air hole narrow. Also, that even if I lose weight, I may still have some amount of sleep apnea.
And how is this good news you ask? Well, if I wear the CPAP thing and it helps me sleep good without loosing oxygen during the night then I'll be more alert and energetic during the day. This is a big thing for me because I'm always tired and have a hard time being motivated for anything.
Basically, even without the whole surgery thing, half my weight issues are my lack of energy to get up an do stuff, and if I'm not tired then my work, my sleep, my daily activities, my hanging out with my kids...etc... will all get better with the CPAP machine. So life will be much less stressful.
