Day One

I arrived promptly at my local Dr. B clinic at 7:30am this morning. I already had all my medical history and info forms filled out prior to the appointment. I was excited and ready to start the program.

After being introduced to one of the nurses, it was my off to the scale for my first "official weigh-in." I knew I had gained weight, but not THAT much. Ugh! I guess I had been indulging a bit too much recently. I thought I was around 165 lbs, but the scale said 171.4 lbs...

I quickly moved over to have my height checked. Yikes! Another blow! I thought I was at least 5 ft 3.5 inches, but nope, I was only a short 5 ft 2.5 inches. Okay, so it doesn't sound that different, but when you're short, every little bit counts.

Payment for the consultation was processed next, and might I say very quickly. It's a tightly run organization when it came to payments... :) I said good-bye to my $265.00. *Note: $50 was already charged when I made the appointment.

Then I had a 10 minute one-on-one consultation with the nurse about my medical history, waist and hip measurements taken and then got my pulse and blood pressure checked. Done. I was now off to the group orientation. A brief explanation of the program, a quick run through of the Dr. B. Diet Manual and then it was time for my B6/B12 injection.

It didn't hurt much, just a quick prick, but it did feel a bit sore for 3 minutes or so after wards (yes, in the butt).

I also decided to stocked up on a few essentials like the Swiss Multivitamin, Cal-K, Bari-Efa and Proti Bars in Chocolate Peanut.

So, that was it. Day one at the Dr. B clinic complete.
Since tomorrow is Wednesday, I'll be heading there again for my second injection.

Can't wait for Ketosis!

Just a note... I'll be posting my weekly weight change.
