the adventure begins

Sep 08, 2010

Wow, what an adventure.  My head is spinning with all the info I have been putting in there.  I am a compulsive researcher on the computer and with books too.  So much to learn.  Since I am self-pay, I'm not sure what the next step in this whole process will be.  My daughter, Stephanie, is also having it with Dr. Inman.   No insurance to hear back from, so I think they should call me soon to at least tell me it has gone to the surgery scheduler.  I'll call tomorrow or Friday to see if I can talk to someone other than a machine.

I am already buying lots of things in preparation.  I bought two huge bottles of MAX Protein powder from GNC.  It's pretty tasty.  We found some Toroni SF syrups at Walmart.  I am trying to get in 64 oz. of fluids.  It is going to be really, really hard.  I'm up twice a night now going to the bathroom.  I've only had 1 Diet Coke a day since last Wednesday!!  That is huge.  (Down from 4 a day).  I'm supplementing caffeine with tea but I plan to cut it off completely except for chocolate protein drinks when I get a date. 

My goal is to walk every day and lose 10 pounds before the surgery.  I also found some breathing exercises they say would be helpful.  I'm getting antsy about hearing something and it's only been 1 week!  I'm impatient.
