Day 4

Oct 14, 2008

So things were going well untill they had a potluck at work.  I kept thinking about wet hair to kill my desire for the food.  It helped.  I reset my wii fit so that I can track all of my progress from the 1st day of the liquid diet on.  I figure all that stuff before then is just ick I dont want to think about anymore.  I'm starting a new life and really that all that maters!!!  Caleb has been having some worries but I think he has gotten past it too.  I still cant believe that I'm one week away from something that I started back in January.  Its hard to think that I have stuck with it this long.  For me, thats a big deal.

Vitamin D... you suck

Sep 08, 2008

So I'm on the super track to vitamin d over dose.

right now my tummy feels like poop and the back of my head feels like its really tight.

I'm going to blame this on the two cups of coffee I had today and not the 1000mg of vitamin d that I am taking daily plus the once a week 5000mg perscription that I'm on. 

Dorthy said that this wouldn't  delay surgery any, which I was very happy to hear.

the wait

Sep 07, 2008

Well my paperwork was submitted on friday.
I am on about a billion mg's of vit D.  I guess my levels were really low.  I'm also on vit b.

so how long does it take?
I cant help but wonder... how long will I be waiting till I get my approval.

... you have lots of it in you.

Thats what the nice girl said when she was getting ready to take my blood.  Granted in the next 15 min I would prove her a little wrong.

I went in on friday to give blood for all the 50billion labs I need.  Well 2 moments short of passing out she had to lock me in my chair so I didnt fall out.

The freakest feeling I have ever had.  I had no control over my own body...
it was ick

but the blood is gone the labs are being done and this is one step closer.

the last one...

Aug 24, 2008

Tomorrow is my last appt.  I'm so excited.  Its been a long road and I know this is only the start of it.  I have been having dreams about doing things.  Like running or riding my bike.  Going shopping.

I cant wait!

4 down 2 to go

May 18, 2008

Nothing like working your butt off all month to find you have gained 5 pounds.  Makes me never want to eat again!

I have two appts left and then everything of mine is subbmited to insurance and then.... I wait... I wait and hope that they approve me...

I'm so scared and upset and angry.  Yes I'm angry... At everything right now.  I'm glad I'm seeing the crazy Dr at the end of the month... I need it...  

Try to look on the bright side... right?

1st dr visit

Mar 24, 2008

Well I have had my 1st visit now I have 5 more to go.  Honestly when I think about the changes I am going to make and how they are going to affect me for the rest of my life I really dont mind waiting a little while longer.

My Dr thinks the appts that are required by my insurance are silly and that there is nothing that she can do differently that the nutrionist isn't going to cover.  

I wonder what kinds of hoops other people have had to hop through.
