Hi all! Glad to see some of you checking in. I hope this thread doesn't die! The holidays can be rough, so we need to be extra vigilant.
Update & rambling: I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it went well. TMI - my periods have been lasting for 17ish days for the last couple of months, so I wanted to get everything checked out. The doctor didn't find anything unusual during my pelvic exam, but she ordered an ultrasound so I will be doing that as soon as it gets cleared by my insurance. Also, I went to Urgent Care on Monday because of immense pain in my ear. They said I had an ear infection. Well, it was still bothering me yesterday, even though I have been on antibiotics, so I asked my doctor to take a look and she said that my eardrum had ruptured, but it appears to be healing. Yikes!
I'm still working on my checklist for weight loss surgery (sleeve). I've done the blood work, my gastroscopy is scheduled for mid-Nov and I am supposed to be getting a call next week re: making an appt. with a nutritionist. There are still several other things I need to get done and will keep working at it.
Things have been a bit of a blur lately due to my medical issues. I am still counting calories and losing weight, but I am definitely not as focused as I want to be.
I got a HUGE surprise yesterday! My husband is coming to visit from NZ...ON MONDAY!!!
I totally was NOT expecting it. He is still waiting for his visa to move here permanently, but will be able to visit over the holidays while we are waiting. I am so happy! It has been 5 months and probably 50 lbs. since I last saw him in person!
Alright, enough about me! How did you guys do last night (Halloween)? I want some updates!!
I ended up having 1 fun size Twix bar because it was the lowest calorie candy in the bag and 2 Hershey's kisses. Not bad!
