This morning I had the PT Assessment and Nutrition class.
The PT was really pointless for me. There was about 7 people in the group with me, and I was by far the youngest. But, the "exercise guy" who did the talking basically showed us exercise machines and lectured us on gym etiquette, which I am very familiar with. Although overweight, I have frequented gyms and own an elliptical. Other than that he talked about posture and buying shoes. He talked for about 1 & 1/5 hours...I honestly almost fell asleep. He treated everyone as if they had never seen exercise equipment, and talked down to us. He tried to be funny...but it didn't work.
Next was the dietician. She was very informative and very helpful. She went over the pre-op diet and the post op diet for the first 12 weeks. She did her homework! She gave a list of stores and what brand of protein drinks they carried along with the grams of protein in them. VERY HELPFUL! And she gave us the list of vitamins, along with the stores that carry them. She answered many questions and made me feel better about the post op diet.
Now, I have an EKG appointment Friday morning. Hopefully everything will go as planned and I can be making an appointment for surgery.
Thursday my husband and I will find out if we won and trip to Gatlinburg. We sent in our picture and the one with the most likes of Facebook wins, which is currently us! ( we are ahead by 25 likes!) Now, do I want to go before surgery, and eat like a pig? Or after and maybe look thinner in pictures? Decisions, decisions...
