the adventure begins
Sep 08, 2010
Wow, what an adventure. My head is spinning with all the info I have been putting in there. I am a compulsive researcher on the computer and with books too. So much to learn. Since I am self-pay, I'm not sure what the next step in this whole process will be. My daughter, Stephanie, is also having it with Dr. Inman. No insurance to hear back from, so I think they should call me soon to at least tell me it has gone to the surgery scheduler. I'll call tomorrow or Friday to see if I can talk to someone other than a machine.I am already buying lots of things in preparation. I bought two huge bottles of MAX Protein powder from GNC. It's pretty tasty. We found some Toroni SF syrups at Walmart. I am trying to get in 64 oz. of fluids. It is going to be really, really hard. I'm up twice a night now going to the bathroom. I've only had 1 Diet Coke a day since last Wednesday!! That is huge. (Down from 4 a day). I'm supplementing caffeine with tea but I plan to cut it off completely except for chocolate protein drinks when I get a date.
My goal is to walk every day and lose 10 pounds before the surgery. I also found some breathing exercises they say would be helpful. I'm getting antsy about hearing something and it's only been 1 week! I'm impatient.
