Two days before Surgery day

Sep 25, 2011

Its Monday...Tomorrow is Tuesday and the next day is Wednesday....the day I will have to be at the Hospital for 8:15 a.m. Counting down the days. I am going to try to keep myself busy getting the house together, spending time with my grand baby and try to stay away from FOOD! The liquid diet has not been pleasant but I know I have to keep it up. I realized that is all I will be able to have for at least a month after surgery so I'm adjusting. Might as well get all the hunger pains out my system before surgery. I feel I cheated yesterday, I cooked a vegetable soup, said I would just drink the juice out of it. But cheated with a few sweet peas, corn and a potato. but I did squash them so they were liquefied. LOL  I plan on today  to only Drink my protein shakes and water. I'll be good. And Tuesday only clear liquids. I read some of the post about people not doing the liquid diet before surgery. And I've talked to my cousin that had the surgery and she said, she had a cheese burger the day before surgery. I am really shocked. Its tempting to do as she did and others. But I know this will be better for me and my recovery time. I don't want to do anything that will hinder my recovery. I'm going to listen to my doctor and do as he says. Anyone reading this I guess you can see this is sort of a diary for myself. I want to be able to look back at these post and see what I went through before during and after this new life changing event. 
Yesterday at Church Pastor took me to the side and he and First Lady prayed for me. I was so emotional, cried the whole time they were praying. But after I really felt at ease. Knowing this is God's will. And what ever comes of it. I know he has his hands on it.

Getting Close

Sep 24, 2011

The BIG day is getting close. Today is Saturday September 24, 2011. Problem with the liquid diet is getting enough calories and enough protein. I was suppose to have between 920-960 calories. Just couldn't do it. And for the protein I'm suppose to get 140 didn't happen. Today I plan on getting what my body needs. Wednesday September 28..will be here before I know it. And my new life will begin.

All my work is done

Aug 15, 2011

Last week I went to my family doctor he faxed over paper work stating I'm ok for Surgery to the Clinic. I had the sleep Apnea test done last Wednesday Night. Talk about weird. But thank goodness its over. Didn't get the result of anything except that I am low on Vitamin D so now I'm taking 3, 5000 units a day. Still waiting Patiently. Praying that the Skinny me will be coming out soon. Since I started the vitamins and drinking more liquids my appetite has slowed down big time. I have lost down to 245 as of yesterday I am shocked. That's my home scale. So anxious to get on the Doctor's scale.

A new Beginning

Aug 02, 2011

Today 08-02-2011 I was not expecting the call from the Doctor's office. I figured I would not hear back from them. I was scared, happy, sad, nervous all at the same time. I go Thursday for Consultaion with the Doctor's Assistant. Thanking my Lord Above for Answered Prayers. As soon as I stopped worrying, Worrying about how the Story Ends, That's when Things started happening, When I let go and Let God!  Let Go Let God!
