March 29, 2006 Well today is my first day writing on my profile. For starters I have to say I am a bad speller. My name is Adam I am 6'1" weight is 310 and I am 28 years old My wife has been a part of this site for over 2 yrs. and had her surgary in Oct. of 05. She is doing so great and I love her so much. Having said that I went to my Dr. on March 28 and i got my date for surgary today. Can you belive that it is exactly 6 mo. from my wifes surgary. It is April 27th. I am getting a little nervious. So two weeks before I have to be on a sugar free liquid diet and the last two days have to be clear liquid. I 'm hoping that it won't be to bad. I know that my wife will be a big help.
April 2, 2006 Well lets just start off about what happened to me yesterday. I was on my way home from work and i was talking to my wife and she is telling me that i got a letter from the ins. company that after further review of your claim we are going to deny for your request forGBS. Well it being April 1 i kinda guessed that this was a joke. So i said yea right i don't belive you. Well when i got home there was a letter from the Ins. Co. telling me that they were going to deny me. i got a little upset because it said that one of the reasons was that i have not been overweight for 5 years. Well i have and the said i need to appeal it if i wanted to have GBS. Well a few min. went past and then my wife starts laughing. i said whats so funny. She said that i got you. I made the letter up and i got you. She found my letter of approvel and scaned it and found the same font and made up a really good letter. It looked so real. Well she got me good. Joke on me i guess.
Well 10 more days of normal good fat and greesy food! Start a liquid diet on the 13th. I really can't wait. I think i am getting sick of food. Marcia put a count down on the calader for me. Thats so sweet of her. I just want to say I love her so much. She has been so great with everything she does. She has my this process so easy for me. She is my inspration and couldn't do this with out her. Thanks Marcia! I Love you!
Monday April 10th. I have three more days till my SF liquid diet. Getting a little nervous. I hope it wont be to bad but in my head it seems like it will. My wife got me two water bottle to take to work so i can drink water when i get hungry. I still need to get used to the protine shakes. I like the clear isopure but that will be to much money right now! I am looking forward to the summer this year!!!! I hope i can lose quite a bit and will feel like playing and doing stuff with my family. In my head i always want to do stuff with themm but feel like i shouldn't because i am fat. I don't want to be the big guy anymore. I just want to run and play and have fun without thinking why is that fat guy doing that. I do't want being fat to hlod me back anymore. I guess the two weeks of liquids will be worth it!
Aprril 12th- Well I have ate my last candy bar and my last solid for for a long time! I start my two week liquid diet in the morning. I am ready! Tonight Marcia helped me with my plan on what to eat! Have I ever said she is Great!! Wel she is! I would be lying if i said i'm not nervous. But a good nervous if there is such a thing. I have been enjoying reading the boards over the last couple of weeks! I took my before pic's today! I'll say sorry in advance! I plan on putting them on here soon. I have told a couple of people at work that i am having the surgary! I have gotten a lot of questions. Well i will keep posting on my progress.
April 25th- Well today i started clear liquids! How fun! It hasn't been to bad! The full liquids went by really quick! I have TWO more days! I packed my bag today and i think i have everyt thing ready. I feel bad for Marcia though! She has to do a lot while i am at the hospital! I hope she will be ok! I have already lost 16lbs from being on liquids for two weeks! Thats great! Can't wait to lose more! I will write more when i get home Sunday or Monday! Wish Me Luck!
May 2nd- Well I had my surgery and everthing went great! It took a little longer because they had to fix my hiatal hernia. My stomach was way up in my esophagus (SP). Which is good for me because i have been dealing with sever heatburn for a very long time now. I was able to come home a day early and have been drinking and walking everyday. I have been getting 64 to 65oz a day of liquids. Still trying to get all of my protien in. I feel great and got back down to the weight I was before surgery. I gaind about 12lbs in the hospital. I want to Tell my wife that she has been so great through this process. She has been doing everything for everyone and i feel bad for her. I sent her flowers today because she is just the best and I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART! Thank you Marcia for all that you do. I couldn't be here with out you!
