Well... I went to get some more shakes from Dr. Pohl's office a couple of weeks ago.  I weighed in at 490 even.  I guess that must have been close enough because after locating my chart they sent all my test results to the insurance company.  They called and told me that it might take a while but that once I got an approval that I'd be surprised on how fast things moved on from here. 

Well... I got my approval!  I have an appt on 10/11 with Dr. Pohl.  I guess he'll go over everything with me again and answer any questions I have.  And he will give me my surgery date.  Wow... I actually doing this.  

I'm not afraid of the surgery.  I'm more afraid of my life after surgery.  How am I going to take care of Lee.  How is that going to work?  I'm going to be living on liquids for a month... and I'm expected to cook for him and serve him like I've done the entire time we've been married?  How am I going to do that?

What about my legs?  Will they stay big while the rest of me gets small?  I'm not afraid of any complications. It's weird but true. I'm healthy!  I don't have any medical issues except the sleep apnea which will go away once I lose weight.  

I'm over analyzing.  I'm anxious.  I know I'm going to be okay... I just need to get this over with.  Everything else will fall into place.

So much of my life now revolves around food!!!  Even my sister is talking about doing a Thanksgiving dinner as my last meal before surgery.  Lee and I eat out so much and all of that is going to change.  He has a huge appetite. We'll go out to eat have have a huge meal at 3pm and by 7 he's hungry again.  I don't get it.  I'm still stuffed and he wants to eat again. 

Things are just going to have to change.  I'm okay with that... if it was just me.  I wonder if it's going to be okay with him though.  He drinks so he HAS to eat.  Ugghhh.... I just have to stop stressing about it and let nature works it's way out.... as it always does.... and always will.
