pre-op testing

Pre op testing is now complete!! I saw the physician who will be following during the hospitalization, very nice man. Explained a lot of stuff. Told me that I already have female pattern hair thinning, so start the rogaine now (men's version) along with the biotin so the WLS related hair loss won't be as severe. Hopefully this helps. All testing went well, at least as good as it can be with expected variances in labs and having asthma. He expects a good outcome, however said I am high risk for hypoxia and nausea and vomiting post op. I have asthma and sleep apnea and have had problems with post op nausea and vomiting before. He already gave me a script for scopalamne patches (I don't think they really work, but will try anything) and said he will make sure there are good meds ordered for post op as well.

Currently on day 3 of liquid diet, hasn't been too bad. I'm allowed to have a 2 cups of select raw veggies to satisfy the psycological "need to chew" and fill up on tons of Powerard Zero and water.  Liking the weight loss so far, hopefully this continues. I did have a hard time getting groceries, but my husband said he would do that from now on so I won't be tempted so bad.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!
