The Flop Stops Here!

Apr 16, 2009

OK, no more flip-flopping!!  I have made up my mind, I am at peace with it, God will see me thru it and be with me every step of the way.  I have a great support team (my 3 J's) who have promised to help me and hold me accountable.  I am so excited I could just BURST OUT IN SONG!!  "Oh, what a beautiful morning, oh, what a beautiful day, I've got a beautiful feeling, SKINNY is coming my way!!"

Saw the bariatric co-ordinator yesterday.  Her name is Tonia and she was very pleasant and helpful.  I had the Metabolic Cart test done to check how many calories I burn at rest. 

I have an appointment with Hunter the NUT tomorrow - full body measurements and serious discussion about the pre-op and post-op nutrition regimen.  I'm really hoping that he is full of information about specific foods - I don't know enough about sugars and sugar alcohols and protein and vitamins - so maybe he will edjumicate me!!

Appointment then on April 30 with Dr. Facundus - "so far awayyyyy", she wails!!   I still have to get the GXT and the PFT's and ABG's done.  I am going to call Tonia today and see if I can set those up for myself.  I would like to have everything done when I see the surgeon - that way, he can see all the results at one appt (save all the $$$ I can), and maybe give me a surgery date!!

So things are underway - now just pull all the loose ends together in a big bow!!
