SICK!
Aug 24, 2010
Been a bit since I been here, tried to read and even be a fly on the wall .. but neverless... good old cold got me. I was just very busy with our kids and getting them ready for school.. thought being tired and exhausted was from that.. NOPE.. I am now hit in the chest literally with a cold/ URI.... hoarse and congested and coughing so much I tossed myself into a few asthma attacks lately.. more than I would like.. . But today I made it here.. trying to hang on to this support site and just reading others posts would help me feel better emotionally... sofar.. not made it anywhere yet but to post here.. then off I go to attempt to read.. I am just soooo drained and Im getting hit with everything this cold has to offer to kick my butt! So sitting here with papers, phone, laptop, hot coffee at the moment :) later will be hot tea.. helps my chest.. and medicines..all amongst my bed and blankets and pillows.. I dispise being stuck in bed.. but I can not function and so sick.. SOOOO other than this.. Today was my childrens 1st day of school... for 3 of them anyways.. and I could not stand at the door and watch them get on the bus... I felt like the worst mother ever... MY baby girl all dressed up and happy..I had to watch from my window in my bedroom... and my son.. racing around waiting to go jump on the bus and off to see his friends... my oldest son got to stay home... got a eye infection.. he is isolated... and then I got my other 2 childred stuck at home..bored cause there is nothing to do.. as they do not start school til sept 7th.. I so hope nobody gets sick from me! I am trying to stay away and santitize... I am dubbed " clean freak" and "Germ X Queen" is that a good thing? not so much the freak part..cause I feel like that makes me care more about my house than my kids.. and I do not.. I want the best for my children.. even a clean house.. and germ free as possible, SO off to attempt something today..

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
He who watches over you will not slumber;
Indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD watches over you
The LORD is your shade at your right hand;
The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD will keep you from all harm -
He will watch over your life;
The LORD will watch over your coming and going
Both now and forevermore.

Waiting(sigh)
Aug 08, 2010
I learned that after NUT appointment is when to expect surgery date. I had that appointment, all my tests are done, and now is the the waiting period.
This is the time I am anticipating. I have fears and anxiety pouring over me. Pondering "what if" plays into character with did I fail and will this not be approved.
Reading about others with my insurance on here, some easy approve, some denied with several appeals.. Will I be the easy approval? Pray I am on the better end.
Oh yea, one more thing.. I come to think about holidays during this.. what is wrong with me?? I am worried about being able to cook for thanksgiving and xmas and not messing up a dinner because I dont follow recipies, I just cook from the heart which is also a required taste tester during so.. lol.. HMMM and I am just waiting for my approval.. I worry too much.. but thats who I am.. I think down the road before taking that sudden turn, I want a road map to know whats ahead..
Guess that will be another subject in its own. :)

Good news.. I Lost more weight, past my starting pre op weight.. I was not wanting to look.. but I ended up squinting and I lost 8 pounds this week... YAY!!
Ok.. So my final six month weigh in is in 2 weeks.. hoping to keep this weight down..and continue to loose more.. this will be less to lose after RNY.. and praying.. so praying I get my approval with no problems.. my insurance is Tricare Prime (Retired) and only need 3 months and I meet all the requirements with the health and 100lbs over weight etc.. so I am praying and praying that this goes through.. I am so nervous that my food diary they are sending was good enough.. I put in my daily water, what I ate, exercises, etc.. I hope it was enough.. I think I didnt list calories on every page.. I did it on the front of my book, which I kept and maintained that limit.. SO.. Hope this is ok.. I didnt know what I was doing when I started it but went with advice of others...
OK.. enough of going on.. I am exhausted.. lil sleep and long day! KEEP ME IN PRAYERS!!
Hoping

So today.. I ate nothing of the such.. lil protein and lots of water and some broth..not forget my tea..lol.. So I weighed myself-well my DH checked the numbers while I looked ahead and not move so to get a good reading. I lost 2 lbs.. !!!! YAY! I am hoping to stick to this stricter eating so I can get more weight off to satisfy the Insurance and get my approval..
The down side, I am still pre op..so eating like this on a normal stomach..is frustrating,, Im hungry and doing everything I can to NOT eat and to drink water and limited amounts of broth and simple proteins to get me by... 2+ weeks..Im going to loose my mind.. pray I make it!
