I did my Thursday weigh in today. This is the weight I will be using on this blog to track my progress. The day of my surgery, when that comes about, the weight they get at the hospital will be used at my surgery starting weight but then I will track my progress from my home weigh ins.
So...today my weight was 259.6 which puts me at a 1.4# weight loss for the week a total loss of 5.6# so far. I am good with a weight loss of 1-2# per week from now until surgery.
Next week Tuesday morning I see the pulomonologist. I will have pulmonary function tests and a visit with him. I did a mini sleep study at home that involved putting something that looks like a nasal cannula for oxygen in my nose and a pulse ox monitor on my finger and it recorded if I was having any sleep apnea. Based on the results of that I needed to see the pulmonologist. It looked like I was right on the border of needed to see the pulmonologist based on the result sheet they sent me. I hope they don't want to do a big sleep study, I don't want to mess with that and then have to get a cpap machine. I know that sounds bad, but if I am going to be losing a bunch of weight soon and end up not needing the machine, which will more than likely happen, I don't really want to mess with the testing and the added expense. I know I woke up once during the home test and I had take the tubing out of my nose, I'm not sure how that effected the results, but anyway, I'll see what he has to say.
Until next time...
