This past weekend I got tested for sleep apena at Emory hospital. The room that they had me in was nice. When I arrive there, the nurse that helped me was very nice. She made me feel at ease. I also found out that she too had the GBS five years ago. She was still a little bit heavy, but not as she was before. She stated that she wieghed over 400 pounds. We talked for a good half an hou about our journey. She told me that she too had to go through several test.  She was very inspirational.  Its weird how I am coming across several people that had the surgery or was thinking hoving the surgery.  

She then hooked me up to several wires after I changed into my night clothes. they I was covered from head to toe in cords. I was already sleepy from getting up early that morning and then going swimming, but when it was time for me to go to sleep, I couldn't. I eventually went to sleep around 11pm and kept getting up b/c I couldn't breathe out my nose. Between the plugs in my nose and my sinus draining I was miserable.. After taking some sinus meds, I finally able to fall asleep. I then had to sleep on my back, which I don't do. They woke me up at 6am and I was gone by 6:30am . When I got home I was able to go back to sleep the way I wanted too.

Things have been going fine lately. I have been walking in the mornings since its too hot to walk after work. I went swimming and am going to try and go swimming at least 3 times a week after work.  I am wrapping all my testing...all I have left is this diet evaluation and then I cam make an appointment to see the surgeon so that I can submit all my information...I can not wait until I hear those magic words: I have been approved.  The diet that I have been on has been horrible..I can't seem to stay on it...I think I am losing some more weight b/c my body feels different..a little lighter..I won't be able to see my nutriionalist until next month sometime..so that should wrap out my supervised diet...
