I promise that I am not starving myself. I know that 900 calories is very low, but it isn't starvation low, especially since I can only eat small amounts of things to begin with. I went through this same sort of eating schedule after my surgery. I got laxed, though, and started eating the wrong things and I stopped losing weight. This time it'll be different. I'll make it different. It will take me about a week to get this diet into my system as a habitual thing, and after that I'll be doing it until I lose the weight. I'll still be taking my vitamins and calcium, and getting my protein in. That's the main thing that I am supposed to worry about post-surgery. I'll still be going and getting my bloodwork regularly. I'll be monitored by my parents. Nutritionists and doctors probably wouldn't be able to tell me if it's healthy or not because most don't understand what patients have to do after Gastric Bypass Surgery.

I had my appointment with the psychiatrist yesterday. He increased my Wellbutrin dose and is putting me on Inderal for the tremors. He told me that my Lithium levels were low, which probably means that next time I go in, he'll increase my dose again. I guess that'll be fine if the Inderal works. Oh, the Inderal may help with some of my headaches, which would be great.

I am no longer allowed to wear spaghetti strap tank tops to Art of Interviewing because they are "inappropriate" for a Social Work student. My teacher will be sending anyone wearing said tank tops "home" if she sees their bare shoulders. I understand that she's trying to prep us for Field, but for several of us, that's a whole year and a half away. If she wasn't sending people home for it, I'd wear the tank tops just to annoy her. I'd even do it during the winter. That's how good of a person I am.

I can't see my family doctor anymore. Medicaid only allows you to go to certain doctors, and he isn't one of them. So, I picked a woman at the UAB clinic. The only thing that worries me about going through UAB is that they have their own psychiatrists and psychologist, so I'm afraid I'll be forced to switch. Whoever the doctors at UAB refer me to goes, which may suck in the long run.
