 Well finishing up day 5 preop.  Not bad missing things with flavor.  I know that eventually I will get to eat real food again.  I missing healthy foods liked baked fish, green veggies. Maybe I will appreciate the healthy foods when I get to eat them again.  My regular doctor called and my blood cultures are negative but my white cell count is up. He think that it was for the salmonella.  I pray this does not mess up my surgery!  

 Well I'm just about done with day 3 preop. I'm on full liquids. Low carb low fat. Had horrible headache yesterday. Today is much better. I can do this just tired of broth, cottage cheese, yogurt, protein drinks. We are in full remodel mode. So instead of cleaning my house before surgery, I'm packing parts of it. It is all supposed to be done before surgery . Hope I can get it all back in sharpe before. I have been reading my nuts stages. After surgery I have to don2 weeks clear liquids. No one wonder people get stalls. That is quite shocking to the body. Getting a little nervous. I already mss solid food. I lovey healthy food. Craving baked tilapia with fresh veggies.   I know this part will pass  and I will be able to eat those healthy foods again .

Was talking to my parents yesterday. Found out they are clueless to what surgery that I am having . Dad said something about a plastic tube. When I told them they were removing 85% of stomach his jaw dropped.

 Well today started off with my preop appointment at 11:40. I saw the nurse, the doctor and the nut.  When we saw the nut me and another lady where together.  I have read, and read on the surgery and this tool. I have ordered And sampled. The other lady was clueless. Like she did not what all the preop diet was for or where to buy stuff. In my mind I was like omg really?!  How can you do something this major and not prepare.   She was really grumpy too. I was probably overly bubbly because of my excitement. After that I had to go to the pass dept. (preadmin). Took forever and a day! Finally got home at 5:00 to prepare The Last supper. It was grilled steaks, twice baked potatoes, green bean, garlic bread, cookie dough ice cream. Yum!  I'm ready for the preop diet!

Oh yeah, the mind your own business story.  Lady that registered me was very sweet but very large. She just kept going on and on why was I having this surgery. She wished she were my size. She just kept saying that I was not fat. I said uh yes like I'm considered Morbidly obese.   Always knew that my fat was someone else's dream of thin and my thin was someone else's fat.  I think the preadmin people shouldn't question why you are having a surgery, good luck to you all,

 Well recovered from salmonella, hysterectomy and got my cast off today. Still in a brace and I was surprised how the wrist has a way to go.  I've experimented with drinks. Gotten vanilla, ordered click cappuccino and unjury. Go to preop this Thursday and start preop Friday. Surgery is only 14 days away. Yikes! Terrified but I know that is normal.  Planning on staying busy during preop diet. Doing home remodel.  Have some painting I can do.  Hoping kitchen granite and wood floor in living too and dinning can be installed before surgery.  

 Well I survived  . Home recovering . Anthesiologist tore up my throat bad. Came out to talk  to my family while I was in surgery. Told me to make sure I tell them next time I'm put under to tell them to use a glide scope.   Still eating poorly. Friends and family have showered us with meals.  So ready for Wls . I also have been internally freaking out a bit.  My main concern is this has to work forever .i know it is just a tool.  I'm also sick of the cast on my broken wrist, don't get it off until, June 11.

Here I was all worried about having my hysterectomy May 16th and am so ready to move on to my WLS.  A week ago Sunday I slipped in the bathroom and broke my wrist!!!  ouch.  So now I have a cast.  First week I had on up to my arm pit.  Nearly drove me insane.  Got one below the elbow Monday.  Much Better!  It still hurts but life goes on.  Thank goodness I do not have to have surgery as long as it heals.  I am so ready to start my WLS.  I am ready, but meanwhile I still am eating like crap.  Battery went out on the scale so I have not weighed but don't need.  The fat is coming on quickly!

 My surgery is not until June 25. I have been eating like crap and gaining weight! I'm so stupid.  Need to get this under control. 

I got approved.  Surgery is officially June 25th!   I almost can't believe I am doing this.   I am so excited.  I know it is not the easy road.  Can't wait to be on the losers bench!

 Well I never really worried whether or not my insurance would cover my Wls. Now that it has been submitted i get to play the waiting game. They submitted it a week ago.  I have read and researched so much that it never crossed my mind to worry about them not approving it. So I pray and keep my fingers crossed .

Today I go for my psych visit.  Never been to a psychiatrist before.  I feel like this is there way of getting money from the WLS, but apparently it is required.  Supposed to take over an hour.  Tomorrow is my nutrionist visit then they can send in for insurance.  I have a date on the books in pencil for June 25th.  As soon as insurance approves it will be official.  I hope I can still enjoy my summer.  I am used to doing a lot of yard work during the summer.  Something I enjoy.  Also like laying by the pool.  We don't have one but we have a friend down the street that we go to often.  I am trying to psycologically prepared for this.  I am reading books and the internet all the time.  Maybe I am over doing that.
