ANOTHER Surgery???

May 19, 2012

Well, saw the OB/GYN this week - I have to have a hysterectomy on June 12th. I will be in the hospital overnight, and should be able to go back to work after about a week. Of course, this is provided my blood work all comes back good from the pre-op blood work, and the ultrasound doesnt show anything too bad.

I'm nervous, as I will have to give up my exercise routines for about 4 weeks. That includes lifting, boot camp, and running. It sucks, but as long as I can get back to it, I will be okay.

Long day today - my sister Judi is flying in today from MO. We are having a BBQ at my parents house. I havent seen her in 3 years, so I'm sure there have been changes!! I am planning on bringing my camera with me to be able to tak pictures. 

On the weight loss front, I am stalled again... I have changed up my eating habits, and also my exercise habits. I'm hoping things pick up soon!! I'm stuck a a size 22. I realize its better than being stuck at a size 38, but I'm frustrated. I do have to realize that I have come a long way. 

For my surgery, I have to do a couple of days of liquid diet. That should help jump start my weight loss a little. I will weigh in again the day of surgery, and see how much I lose after a few days on liquids. Might as well do the 5 day pouch test during that time!! I figure if I do liquids the 2 days before, and day after, and then go to soft proteins, then on to solid proteins for a few days - to help heal. Hopefully that will help me jump start things again - considering I have got to have this surgery. 

Okay - off to get things together to go and see my sister!! YAY!!!
