Hey all,
Well today was my first office visit at the Dr. Poon office and let me tell you I was a bag of nerves it helped a bit that I was with my mom as we are on this journey together but not that much since she was more nervous than I was haha. We were both a bit stressed because everything we have been reading says that it is a very hard diet and that in your first visit this does not mean they will take you on as a client.
So first off when we got there we had to complete a 3 page consent form that said if you don't stick with the program you'll get kicked out of the program as soon as we seen that we both looked at each other and said wow, and not wow bad but wow good we need to have some one be tight with us so we stick it out. The consent/contract also says that I can't disclose the specifics of the program but I'll try to explain as much as I can along my journey.
So after all the papers were done we were taken to another part of the office to wait again but this time it was to do the deed and get on the dreaded scale that by the way you have to get on bare foot and its cold metal (Note to self always wear clean socks haha) after you get on the scale they take a measurement of you neck don't ask why I'm really not too sure and then the little box spits out a bunch of numbers that made me want to cry oh and turns out I shrunk : ) Any way needless to say all my number are bad and I really need to be there.
Then after all that we got to meet a Dr. he was great and answered most of our questions and gave us our little handouts and told us to follow it to the best that we can for the next two weeks. My mom and I again both looked at each other and said is that it? The Dr. said yep that's it as long as you follow the plan it will work. He even told us not to stop in the store in the office for the first 2 weeks and said our first goal is to lose 15lbs as my mom and I left the office we were talking to each other and said hell if we knew we were going to be eating most of the foods as we did before just cutting out a few things here and there we would have done this a long time ago.
But we also did think to our selves is this a test? Because I thought that the first visit did not mean that we were taken into the program? So our plan for the next two weeks is stick to the plan as much as we can and do our best and see what happens.
We have our next appointment booked for two weeks and I will post again. : )
Thanks for the comment and looking forward to reading about your journey.
