Hey everybody. Hope ya'll are doing good. I'm on my 3rd day of my pre~op diet; I've done better than I thought. It helps that I have lots of support from family, friends (including my OH friends). For any of you reading this thanks so much for the advice, support & encouragement....I love you all. One of my friends is doing the pre~op diet with me~Thanks "T".

Getting a lil nervous
on June 16, 2008 8:31 pm

Ok this is probably gonna sound so stupid but I'm more nervous about June 30th when I have to start my 3 wk liquid diet than I am about the actual surgery. I'm so scared I'm gonna fail on the liquid diet. Considering I have so many ppl supporting me don't understand what I'm worried about; I reckon from feeling like I've failed on every other diet I've ever been on. A few of my friends at work are talking about doing the liquid diet with me Mondays thru Fridays of those 3 wks & my momma & Ma have already started getting things together to have at their house for those 3 wks & when I come over to visit....how nice is that. I really do have some great family & friends. And can I just say how thankful I am I found this website & have so many ppl to inspire me you all are truly get friends too. Pls pray for me about the 3 wk liquid diet AND pray for my 3 kids that will be dealing with me .....hehehehehe. Goodnight.

Hugs to all~TC

On my way
on May 14, 2008 2:11 pm
So today I get a vm fr/Susan (one of my nurses). She called to tell me she was fixing to send in my paperwork for approval & noticed it was my birthday so she couldn't pass up the opportunity to call & say "Happy Birthday" & to let me know my paperwork was being sent in & she'll let me know when she gets a response. YIPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!! Needless to say, after the msg from Susan I wasn't much good at work the rest of the day~good thing she called in the afternoon....hehehehehe

I have such great family & friends. I love them all so much. They all support me thru everything. I'm so blessed. Today has been a great day. I'll soon be on the losing side with lots of my friends on here & the ones at work. I can't wait. 

Thanks for stopping by.

xoxo

Relief~I wasn't forgotten
on April 28, 2008 7:04 pm
Well, today I got up the nerve to email Fuzz's nurse, Susan; to ask about my blood work results~negative wooo hoooo. Then I asked about my paperwork; she said (like I had been telling myself) that since I was wanting a July date she had been working on some others that were wanting a earlier date but she would call or email me when she sends in my paperwork for approval. Then I mentioned I was looking at July 28th. She responded: "How about the 21st? Fuzz w/b out of town the week or latter part of the week of the 28th & he don't like to do any surgeries right before he goes outta town~that's good to know; hate to think he'd do his thing to me & then go outta town & something go wrong & no dr to make it all better. So I got it ok'd by my supe to have that week off as my first week (a coworker is off that week too) surprisingly, she approved it.....yippppeeee. So unless something goes wrong & I get denied (which I don't think will happen) by insurance then I reckon my date w/b July 21st. Can't wait. Well, enough ramblin'~thanks for stopping by & checking on me. Hugs to all.....

My Story

I've been overweight all my life. My Pa always told me that when I was born they were still using the old style incubators (spelling?) at the hospital & I looked like a little butterball stuffed in it. Anyway, several of my family mbrs have had weight problems for as far back as I can remember & I can't remember when I wasn't on a diet during my lifetime. Just like most everybody else on this site I was always the "friend, sweet girl with the pretty face & great personality". I've always been healthy~except of course the weight. I've been researching & debating on having GBS since I first learned about it~when Carnie Wilson had her's. I won't to do this to change my life for the better & add years to my life. My plan is to have the surgery later this year. My family & friends are so supportive of me~of course there are a "few" that only think of the negatives, (learning to ignore those ppl & comments). I'm so excited to start this journey & glad there are others out there to support me.
