First Call....

I had my first call with Carewise. Carewise is a program the company I work for uses to help people get healthy. They have a lot of different healthy living plans. I talked with a registered dietician by the name of LeAnne. She will work with me for the next six months to help me get prepared for weight loss surgery. She said there will be several phone calls between myself and her, also other phone calls with a registered nurse. They are going to be sending out a kit in the mail to help with the next six months. I asked her if there was a required amount of weight to lose before surgery and she said they would like you to lose 5-10% of the total amount you have to lose, which equates to about 10 pounds. I am hoping to be able to lose a little more than that before the surgery. I think it would be nice to go in to the surgery weighing 300 or less. That means 12 pounds to lose. If I work hard at it I think I can do it. I have my psych eval on October 12. That should be an interesting appointment. LOL. My second call with LeAnne will be October 9.
