so this is day 4 of hardly any carbs, no caffine, just shakes, protein bars, and all protein.  ugggg, but i have to say the thought of having another seizure is going to keep me on track, i hope i dont have to live like this forever, im so scared all the time my blood sugar will drop and ill end up on the floor and not even know it.  i check my blood sugar all the time, im so parinoid.

well, im getting ready to go, getting packed up and out the door at about 4 in the am.  My surgery is at 7 30, and i  am so very nervous.  Ive been getting lots of good vibes though due to my fabulous angel, denise.  Im ready to go to the loosers bench!  Im going to try to take my computer to the hospital with me, so mabe i can post there!

i can actually say i am really getting very scared.  I am down to 7 days before surgery now and I am scared.  I know everything will be ok, but it still scares the living daylights out of me.  They called me yesterday to finish my paperwork for the hospital so admittance would be final, and thats when it really kicked in that all of this is really about to happen.  Im ready though, im ready for it to be over with so i dont have to worry anymore and i can start loosing.

I can actually say my surgery is next week.  I had a little chest x ray scare but other than that everything is going smooth.  I just have to sit back and wait for my big day and hop on over to the looser bench.  I am so ready and i think now is a great time cause summer is right around the corner and that will be a great  cause i can go outside and walk and stuff. 

well 2 weeks as of tommorow.  Man i cant believe this is really going to happen for me.  Im ready though.  I called my pcp today and they said all of my pre op test came back normal.  So i am ready to go go go go.  Im so excited!

well tomorrow is my pre op apt with my primary care phys. before surgery and then fri morn is my anesthesiology apt .  After that i will be all set and ready to go.  I am really getting kind of scared.  I am ready though, i am ready to begin my new life.  I hope every thing goes well with all of my pre op stuff, i have started vitamins so blood work should be ok, hopefully. 

well they changed my date to friday the 13.  Im not unhappy about going 3 days later but man friday the 13, guess i better not be superstitious huh.  So i made my pre op apointments and now im just waiting away.

Today i started a diet to get ready for surgery.  I really want to lose a little before.  It is not required by my docter but i thought mabe it would make it a little bit easier for everyone.  I think about 2 weeks before i will go to liquid only.  I keep hearing of this shrinking liver thing being a good idea.  So i will go low carb until about 2 weeks before and then to liquid.  I hope to lose a good 20 pounds or so before. 
 

Im a little worried, i still have to go through all of the bloodwork and other pre surgical testing before my surgery.  What if there is something wrong with me and i cant have surgery.  I guess i worry alot and there is probably nothing wrong, 
They gave me a physical date of feb 19, i hope thats enough time to get all the pre surgical tests and stuff done before march 10,

I got my surgery date today!!!!!  March 10, 2008.  So i guess bcbs fed is as easy as everyone says it is.  I am so excited, now i just have to get all the presurg  stuff done and wait for MY day. Its all so real now kind of scary!  I was hoping it would not take very long to get started and it didnt.
