Still waiting, three weeks to go...

Apr 28, 2012

 I am still three weeks out. It has been a really long year of prepping and thinking about my upcoming surgery. The waiting is really challenging. I have been ready to go with insurance approval since February but could not get my surgery scheduled sooner than May. The good news is that I have worked at making things easier by giving up diet coke, white sugar, white flour, white rice, and just recently coffee. I had a total yeast die off reaction after suddenly stopping the white stuff. Thrush, ring worm and other issues. After multiple prescriptions of anti yeast meds and nystatin the reaction is finally over. The weaning of coffee has been a lot slower with less reaction. I have been reducing by about 1/4 cup a week. Yesterday was the first day completely caffeine free with barely a headache. Yay. No reason to suffer caffeine withdrawal during surgery recovery. The loss of 30+ pounds prepping for surgery is already helping my energy level and overall health issues.  It is great to have a glimpse of whats to come. The 30 carb pre-diet is getting old already. Three more weeks, I am so ready for this to be done, to be recovered and move on.
