Three Weeks to go!

Nov 30, 2009

 I just came back from my pulmonary appointment, and got the clearance! I am so happy.  I am only three weeks away from my surgery!  It hit me today as I was in the elevator, that it is so freaking soon! Ahhhh!!!

So here has been the timeline of the process in surgery-I have Delaware Physicians Care-Which is medicaid

-December 21, 2009- MY SURGERY!!!

My sister in law and I taste tested baby food-it was a funny...and um...interesting experience.  Some of the foods were great, like the fruits, desserts, and even some of the vegetables.  The beef was tolerable. But turkey and chicken...BLAH!  lol.  We were thinking that maybe they just need some seasoning! lol.  She is awesome because although she is not getting the surgery, she is doing most of the stuff that I am.  Like the 2 week pre-op liquid diet, and then she is doing the protein shakes and whatnot once the surgery is over. So that is awesome.  My husband is...supportive, but not as supportive as her.  Like I didn't ask her to do this with me, she volunteered.  My husband eats fairly healthy anyway-his fav food being oatmeal, so it's not like I will be lusting after junkfood!

It will feel great starting the New Year just a few pounds lighter, knowing that I will be losing more! I can't wait to go shopping. I mean I love clothes now, I love shopping. But to be able to go to Macys, and whatnot-and get regular sized clothes off of the sales rack! YAY!
