Will My Day Ever Come?

He Ya'll

    So i waited all day for for thursday to come! Thats the day that my surgeon's office said i would find out my date. Thursday came and went, no call. So i gave them a ring on friday morning, and she said i probably wouldnt find out until MONDAY! what the F****! I was so upset. I know this seemed silly becasue i new i was approved, but just the waiting was killing me. But low and behold i pulled my phone out of my purse around 5 oclock that evening and I had a missed call and a voicemail from them. I was so excited, i was jumping all over and screaming, and was standing on my bed when i played the message. She said my surgery was July 6, and pre-op testing June 17! I am supposed to get a packet in the mail with all the info! I can not even tell you how happy i was this weekend.
 
I started making a list of everything that i wanted to buy. I thought i would start buying one thing a week so i didnt have to fork out the cash all at once. But i indulged myself this weekend. I bought a pill minder, a couple of the vitamins ill need for after (walgreens had them buy 1 get 1 free), a blender bottle ( on sale at GNC) and few different protein drink samples to try. I tucked everything away in acloset until needed. My birthday is next week and i asked for a Magic Bullet! Hopefully my wish comes true.


I had my Bariatric Living Class this week, which i was dreading (just becasue of schedule conflicts) and i thought that it was going to be all the same thigns i have been researching and learning from OH. I thought i knew pretty much everything. WRONG. I am so happy that they require this class, it gave me step by step drink by drink instructions for pre and post op liquid diets and vitamin information (i was totally lost on vitamins until then). It turns out my surgeon has very particular instructions for his patients. Our packets were  twice as thick as the other doctors patients. We have to buy a special drink the second week of the two week diet, and we take more vitamins after. They made remarks about they were glad their list wasnt so long. But in all hosety i feel lucky to have a surgeon who feels so strongly about his patients care to be the odd man out in his practice!

Well i think ive rambled on enough, that is whats new with me this week, anxiously waiting July Sixth!
