WOOHOO GOT MY DATE!
Jun 16, 2008
June 18, 2008
As I said I have God and angels watching over me. After getting the call yesterday telling me I would not be scheduled until August. today I got a huge surprise, Nancy the surgeons coordinator called me to let me know she got a cancellation for July 23rd and if I wanted that date. Heck yeah! I am so so thrilled. so my preop is on July 11th and then I go in on July 23rd. I can't believe it, finally go the magic date. Nancy told me I have to be at goal on the preop appt. so that's where I am I'm trying to lose some extra pounds. so i have some leeway for the difference in scales. It just so happens my daughter had already requested that week off so she will be with me and I can stay with her to recover for a bit. I am praying I can go to New York for a little bit to spend time with my sisters and to recuperate. not sure yet cause my sister Jean is having some personal issues, which I hope get resolved because I really want to go spend some time with her! so that's it for today. terrible headache all day, went to the funeral services for maria's mominlaw and ate bad food today, had pupusas 2 of them and felt so sick thought I was gonna barf! so now i'm just watching the clock to see if I make it until 5. 3 weeks for my preop appt. 5 weeks until surgery day!
WAITING IS SO STRESSFUL

Well I decided to call Nancy the coordinator for doc and left a message asking about my surgery date. She left me a vm that she would be scheduling me for August. She said she didn't have the calendar for August yet but that is the month I will be scheduled for and she will call me with the date asap. I'm a little upset cause we're talking 2 more months I am so tired of waiting, it's so stressful. I was so hoping for July, not only do I want the surgery but I am looking forward to being off work for a little bit, I need a long break
so anyway now I just have to do whatever is necessary to get my weight below the goal so when they do call I am ready to go at a moments notice, there could always be the possibility of a cancellation so that is all I can hope for at this point. I am praying someone on the list ahead of me decides to chicken out and I can move up the list fast. I just have to keep calling and updating them and stay in touch so that my name is fresh in nancys mind when the time for scheduling comes up. I'm ready to go and I'm tired of waiting.

ANGELS ON MY SIDE
Jun 09, 2008
Hello, today is Monday, June 9, 2008
very quiet weekend. had an up and down scale weekend, very frustrating. today i'm 237 one lb over presurgery goal so I have to fix that. I decided to go ahead and try some of the protein powders that I have and see if i can use that to replace 1 meal instead of slimfast cause slimfast has way too many carbs. I am going to start walking at lunchtime today, my foot is feeling okay so far. Been reading my group emails today and one of the girls is having such a big setback her surgeon up and resigned and now she has no clue when she will get her surgery, I emailed her to try and encourage her cause I do know how it feels, we have no control over these doctors and their personal lives. yesterday Melina came over and she is getting so big, I can't wait to see that little baby girl. I barely saw Travis this weekend and that breaks my heart. sometimes Brittany is just not nice to me when it comes to me spending time with the baby and it makes me feel very hurt, I am really glad that Mellie is having a baby cause I know she won't be that way, I'll be able to always have Bella with me. Josh is feeling blue again and I am very worried about him. I feel okay today, my head is bugging me a little but I think its sinus cause the weather is changing warming up. figures it would now that I decided to go walking. but I have no choice my surgeon will be back next week and then it's just a matter of time to get the call!

Hello, well not much going on. my surgeon is still on leave until the 16th so nothing is going to happen with my surgery until she returns and gets back on schedule. I got to goal and then somehow managed to gain 3 lbs. this week, going to weigh tomorrow again and see if it fixed because its been a big let out water day. I'm feeling a little stressed that I won't be at goal when surgery day comes because the scale at the hospital is so off from my house scale. It's worrying me alot. I guess the only thing I can do is get stricter with my eating and get up and walk some more. easier said than done but I really don't have an excuse just need to do it. I am so ready for for this surgery. I was reading this week about some deaths on the OH memorial page and it is kind of scarey but just have to believe that God is gonna take care of me. My right heel is having better days, I sure hope it does finally stop hurting so I can do some more walking. The podiatrist and orthopedist both are hoping that the weight loss helps my knee and foot pains because the only alternative is surgery for both problems and I really don't want another surgery after I get done with the GBS. Well I will write again when I have something to say :)

Well I am on my way, I've completed all the program prerequisites and I'm now waiting for my surgery date. I've lost the 26 lbs. my surgeon asked me to get rid of and I'm waiting for my date for surgery. I'm hoping it's late June or July. I have made many awesome friends on my online group and have met quite a bit of the girls already. In January I was a surgery Angel for one of the online ladies and we are now friends who keep in touch. I meet her each time she comes down for her post op appointments. This journey has been quite an experience. it's a big work in progress and you have to go through this while the rest of your life is also running along side of it. It takes alot of work to get there. I've been having terrible plantar fasciitis issues and it has hindred my exercise tremendously which is why I did not lose the 10% sooner. I could have if I could have done more walking but my foot is just in pain. I had some ultrawave shock treatment done to my foot and I hope that it will finally take the pain away completely. I started online dating, met a guy who was a no but I met a guy who I went out with a couple of times and thought he was a maybe and suddenly he turned off, not sure what is going on. makes me kind of sad but life goes on.
