Quiting smoking and diet like crazy!
Mar 15, 2009
Well here it is March 15th and no surgery. In fact, there have been quite a lot of changes. After getting approved and so so happy to be ready. I went in for all my pre op tests. That was a long, long, frustrating day, mainly due to all the walking it involved. Next appt. was with the surgeon, Dr Marquez... Well that didn't go well at all. She looked at my weight and refused to do the surgery. Also she smelled cigarette smoke and said she would not do the surgery if I was smoking. So so made me kind of a deal, or at least that is what I am trying for. She said if I lost weight and had a blood test for thyroid and nicotine she would maybe do the surgery on the 31st. We will see but let me now tell you and myself just where I am today.It has been 3 days since I have seen the dr. As we got into the car, Richard gave me a cigarette. That was the last 1/2 of a cig I smoked up til now. I am in my 3rd day and although throwing up quite alot I am not smoking. I am so so happy, it is going better than I expected. As far as the weight goes I don't have a acurate scale (need to buy a new one) so will wait til Monday to do that... Poor Richard, he is being ever so helpful. She scrounged through the cabinets and ref. hunting for carb free or low carb foods and we discovered just how many carbs I was consuming in a day... Wow, even the BOOST had 41 carbs in it.. Not to mention slim fast. So he is at the store right now getting me Atkins and protein powder. Not sure exactly how to mix the protein but know that all I need do is ask and all my many, blessed, wonderful friends here on this website will give me the answer I need. (not want always, but need!)
I cannot believe all the loving, and tough love responses to my last 3 days. Thank God for each and everyone of them!
