. . . just an update

Oct 17, 2010

One more thing knocked off the list of things needed before surgery. I had my upper GI endoscopy done on Friday, everything looked alright except a little acid damage done to my esophagus, from acid reflux. so i have to take prilosec up until surgery to get it all healed up, which is not the worst because it helps tremendously with the acid reflux/ heartburn!! I have my last Psyche apt on Wednesday and my last Dietitian and PT meetings on the 1st of November and then its the waiting game of insurance approval. . .  which I have heard can take 2 weeks to 2 months to get so I am trying not to get to hyped up about it. I have been really trying to watch what I eat because my goal is to loose 20 pounds by surgery time. I have been doing really good with eating more fruits and veggies and limiting carbs and sugars. I have stopped drinking Soda and and limited my coffee intake. I have also been walking on my lunch breaks at work but I have only lost 2 lbs.. I know that i am still eating to much, & I partly blame that on my work schedule because I am working crazy shifts and only have 1 or 2 days off every 3 weeks because we have so many people out right now and the OT is very nice on the bank account. I just need to get a fire lit under my butt because i WILL meet my goal of loosing 20 before surgery. 

ta ta for now :)
