Hello everyone,
I am a 54-year-old mother and grandmother that wants to be healthier for all her babies.
I just had my first nutritional appointment on June 24th. All of the information looks fine to me. My struggle is going to be the smoking and my coffee. I drink a lot of coffee, but I am decreasing a little at a time and supplementing decaf for the habit of just having coffee. Smoking... I am trying cold turkey; it needs to be done surgery or not. I had dental surgery last year and ate soft foods for 6 months. I know that this is not exactly the same, but it was not so bad, so I had a little practice, I guess. My doctor is looking for an early September surgery date once my check list is complete. I am getting married in November and I am not doing this for the wedding, but it is added motivation. Just a little stress of last-minute dress shopping but totally worth it.
Happy to receive any tips and would enjoy chatting with someone who is starting out right now as well.
