Moving Along!

Mar 24, 2015

Well, after all the appointments, tests, evaluations & clearances, I'm finally cleared and ready for surgery.  I set the date today with the scheduler at my surgeon's office.  April 28th is the big day!  Starting tomorrow morning, I'm on a stricter diet of 1 Glucerna shake for breakfast, 1 Glucerna shake for lunch, and a smallish, sensible dinner.  Need to come down 10 pounds in the next two weeks.  Then for two weeks I follow an even stricter extremely low carb diet until RNY day :)

I'm excited, nervous & scared all at once.  A week or so ago I started reading online about all the things that can and have gone wrong post-op.  Kinda freaked me out for a day or two.  I really questioned whether this was the right decision for me.  After talking to my husband and daughter, I've decided it is the best thing and I'm looking on the positive side and trusting that everything will go okay.  I mentioned my misgivings to my surgeon today and he gave me a big hug and said he had never had a patient who had a "post-op horror story", and I wasn't going to be his first!  That felt good to hear!

Bye until next time!
