I about half way through my 2 week before surgery. It been so hard Seeing everyone eating whatever they want and driving past all the restaurants on my way home. AHHHH!!! Maybe it head hunger. My surgery is at 1:50 p.m. March 17th. I need to be there around 11:50 a.m. My in-laws are driving me. My hubby wants to stay with me that night. He take me home the next day and stay with me. Then my mom will watch me the next two days. Hopefully by then I'll feel good enough to be by myself.

Over the weekend I started trying the sample food pack I purchased from the surgeon's office. I tried the Soy Nuts. Not to bad. I would have to say the BBQ and Chocolate were pretty good. The Garlic and Onion flavored were too oniony tasting for my liking. I was going to bring the flavored packets to add to water to work today, but I forgot them at home. I will try more tonight.

I haven't update for a little while. I got my surgery date March 17th!!!! Just over 3 weeks away. I just can't wait to begin my new life. I haven't tried anything in my sample packet of baratric food yet. I will have to do it this weekend and next week. March 3rd I start the diet before surgery.

I had my sleep study done this past Sunday night. I did not sleep well with all those wires sticking to my face. I thought for sure they would of had to use the cpap on me during the night, but they didn't. That is most likely a good thing. I asked the nurse on the way out "that if you don't put in the cpap on a patient, they generally don't need one?" she said "yes". Though I don't have my results back my guess I won't need one. So this will speed up my surgery dat. I'm just waiting on the call back to what I need to do next.
The nurse also called this week and said my iron and vit. C were low and that I need to take otc meds for that. That means I'm up to 6 meds + 2 vits a day! Well it won't be this way for long.

I go the date for my sleep study. It's this Sunday. I can't wait to get the info back from my test and get fitted for a cpap. I got my blood drawn on Thursday-9 tubes!!! They had to poke me 3 times. Whewww I felt pretty quizzy afterwards I had to sit down in the recliner. I feel like such a baby when I had to do that, but oh well. Hopefully everything checks out. Also hopefully the doc's office calls soon to schedule the physc eval and dietian appointments.  I will be posting pics soon.

Ever since I've decicded to get WLS I've been so anxiously(sp?) waiting for the phone calls on what I need to do next. First the approval, that felt like to took forever. I guess I want it so bad I can taste it. I keep planning on what I'm going to do when I lose majority of the weight. All the places I want to see and being able to ride an airplane and be comfortable! Right now I'm waiting to go get tested for sleep apena, so hopefully I hear about that today. I'm so tired all the time. This morning was really bad. I almost wanted to call in today because I was so tired. There are so many questions I have. Are many people nervous before surgery?? What is it like when you first wake up??
