It's superbowl sunday and my hubby wants to go out and party!! UGh! According to my scale I'm down 8 pounds from the liquid diet. But we'll see the day of surgery how my scale and the dr's scale are close!

Well, its the morning of day two of my liquid diet. You know its not so bad, but having to cook for everyone else in the families sort of makes it difficult. I'm hoping as time goes by it won't be as bad. Here are the things I can have on my liquid diet:
cooked cereal
fruit juices
coffe/tea
broth based soups-I can leave the goodies in the vegetable soup only
sf pudding-gelatin
sf beverages
sf popsicles
vegetable juice
protein shakes
light yogurt
Only 12 days left till the BIG day!! woo hoo

Pre-op surgeon visit
Jan 22, 2007
Well, I saw Dr. Satchie today! She sure knows her stuff!! However, I will be her first Lap revision. Which I feel confident in her. She said she can see things more that way. Hey she's happy I'm happy. I just hope she won't have to cut me open. She isn't sure if she will touch my hetial hernia because if my stomach does't cooperate she can kill off my stomach and that won't be good. I start my 2 week liquid diet January 30th. That should be fun. lol I must say Dave my hubby sure has been supportive. I'm really glad he was there today. He's my security blanket. He makes me feel safe and going through this and having him at my side makes me feel much better. He's pretty nervous himself. I could be in the hosptial 7 days. UGh but better there then being home and something happening and I have to go back to the ER.
I am still not informing my parents. My mother wouldn't understand she is by no means thin but her thinking is you just need to try and if you can't lose weight then your doing something wrong. I just don't want her negativity around me while I'm trying to make myself healither!!
Well that is it for now. I need to go and relax been a stressful day.
Blog soon!

Less then a Month :)
Jan 14, 2007
Well I have less then a month !! Yippee!! Next week monday I have my visit with my dr for my 2 week liquid diet. Which I'm nervous about, but I know I will be ok with since this is what I want.
Just feeling a bit low today though. An old feeling is upcoming up and I don't know how to handle it. My husbands 20th class reunion is coming up and we are planning on going. Thank god i'll be like 7 months out by then. However, they have a class website and my husband wants to put a pic of himself on his harley which shouldn't be a big deal,but a few years ago he informed me he was ashamed of me and everyone else who has kids and a wife put their pics up. Just wonder if he is still embarassed of me:( I'm trying not to say anything because I just don't want to deal with it. Because no matter what he says I really don't think I'll believe him, because those words from yrs ago still pierce my heart.
Well, that is it for now. Just had to vent!

FINALLY!!
Jan 11, 2007
Well, after being frustrated and thinking not much would happen since I had to redo my approval with my new insurance company I stopped posting because I was feeling really low. I had a surprise yesterday my dr's office called and told me I was APPROVED!! It didn't take as long as they said it would!! Thank goodness for that. Now Im just waiting on the hosptial to call me to set up my date:)
Frustrated! November 26,2006
Nov 25, 2006
Well, I am totally frustrated! I have sent my insurance my letter, however, my Dr. hasn't sent hers in yet. I called Wednesday and turns out the person I need to talk too isn't there until TUESDAY so I was mad and wrote my dr. a letter explaining my concerns. I haven't heard anything yet. I will call my insurance company later on Monday to see if they received my dr's letter.
Found out i will have to have an open rny. I believe that is because I'm have a revision from a vbg to the rny plus taking care of my hernia.
I hope tomorrow I have some better news!
