Wisdomless.
Aug 11, 2009
I got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday 9/10, and they are doing great, can I just say I love percocet! I didn't eat anything yesterday b/c i was very nasueas, and havent had anything today but will try doing my milk at lunch.. So I'm pretty excited I got down to 236 today, which is greatt!! And I have three more weeks of milk diet.. myohmy. My friend is having the procedure done they day before me in Oregon, we went to private fat school together haa, and now we're both getting the RNY. So its so odd that I'm going under so soon, I'm just thrilled to say the least..
On a bad note several aqaintences of mine died in a horrible car crash yesterday, all under the age of 19.. So I have a couple funerals to attend. Mostly as comfort to my close friend (these people who passed had known her all her life, so i'm mostly there for her in this time of need.) But it makes me just be like WOW you really never know what is going to happen... And I'm really glad I'm no longer just watching my life go by... now i'm going to live it so that if anything like this ever happens to me.. I've lived.

Weighting Game.
Jul 03, 2009
Cait- 5'2' 242lbs
Down four lbs.. that is progress.
June 28th I had my sleep study, can I just say, that was the most dreadful sleep I have ever had in my entire life.. I thought I would do completely fine sleep like a pro, I woke a million times, and didn't feel like I gave a good impression on how I normally sleep, if they could even get a good "study"... then ten minutes before they come to wake you, I wake needing to use the restroom, and my neck is stiff so I go to pop it.. worst mistake, for the past four days I have been unable to turn my head to the right, lets just say bengay and I were good friends for awhile. Hah, so anyway I woke up and asked my tech "so what do we know" and all she could fill me in on.. was the fact that she did hear me snore.. well I could have told her that with no trouble whatsoever haha.. so thats why I have the punny title.. weighting game... because now I am just waiting.. for the results and the progression to the meet up with the surgeon.. my surgical consult.. after that.. the ball starts a rollin big time.. Three months down, and who knows however many to go.. I'm hoping to get the procedure by the end of the year, or my juicy insurance that I'm under now.. runs out... that is under the guise that I am even accepted as a candidate. If not, more waiting, more selfmotivation. More to write, more thoughts going on .. but it is late and today is the fourth, celebration festivities in the morning.

Busy day.

Cait: 5'2" 246lbs BMI: 44.6
Today I got up super early, for me that is.. to make my bagillion appointments.
8A :I had a meeting with the the diatician to talk about how the procedure goes and how it will affect the way I eat, the preop diet, and the post op diet, afterthat i had another meeting with her at
9A to talk about my personal history and what steps I need to take before surgery. She was phenominal, very friendly and beyond undrestanding. we talked about how I don't currently have any horrible eating problems.. i'm just struggling with the aftermath of bad decissions bad diets..
10A :I go into a meeting with the physical trainer, super nice. Talked about how I'm a good candidate because I was physically fit I know what I can and cannot do, my body ect. And that he can tell I'm motivated and will do great if accepted. he wants me to keep doing the activity i'm doing at a rate i'm comfotable with, walking my dogs ect. I'm sure my dogs will love thatt!
11A strait into the meeting with my physician, congrats Cait your healthy as a horse minus your super obesity.. I couldnt really read her on what she thought about me and my weight loss historyor whether or not i was a good candidate minus the fact that I do not have any comorbidities.. but my BMI is 44.6, I was scheduled for a sleep study but don't know when that will take place because I have to wait for the Dr to send in her report of what she thinks about me.
1P: Meeting with the Phyc Dr.. Went well and fast seeing as I have no history of depression ect ect. He says he thinks I'm a great candidate not only because of my age but because I don't have any of these factors to fight against.. I should heal fast and he doesnt forsee me having any issues with depression afterwards..
-Overall today was a busy but good day, even though I left the appointments overall not sure of my status of having the surgery or not, it all really depends on the ultrasound that i'm having to check out my ovaries, and then the sleep study.. wich unfortunately I'm pretty sure I do have sleep apnea. But that actually fights for my favor seeing as it would be the first and only comorbiditie I'm showing signs of. So as of now it's a weighting game. Like the pun on words (;

May 30, 2009
So this wednesday I have my physical activitie apointment, to see where I am at and what/how much I can do post-op, as well as my first phycological evaluation to officially approve me for surgery.. I'm really lucky b/c the hospital I am going to (the one my mom works at shes an RN) makes sure that you are able to have your surgery soon.. rather than putting you off even if your ready. I'm lucky as well with the fact that because my mom works at the ICU there she has their meidcal insurance... and they take care of their "own" I'm going for the RYN.. and Southwest Medical charges around 7K .. and the employee insurance and the dependents covered by it (me) only pay 20% .. so my deductable is only like 1400.. which is amazing.. I know that I'm completely dedicated to doing this because in the end its going to give me the healthy more active lifestyle I need.. but of course i still have pre-op fears.. Like how painful is it going to be (i know so childish right?) .. how do I tell my close friends.. ect ect. Just something I'm taking day by day though.
