Still on Preop Diet

May 28, 2007

so here it is memorial day weekend no work today lots of bbq's in the area and what am I dining on, s/f jello mmmmm mmmmm good lol.  I know this will be so worth it in the end but it is so hard and I can't tell if I have lost anything or not which is also discouraging.  I do feel like I have which is good so I know something is working.  I did have to drink a half of a cup of o.j. yesterday because my sugar level dropped pretty low but I chased it the rest of the day with water.  I will be so happy when these 4 weeks are over it's not even funny.  Well until next time.......

Pre-Op Diet Semi-H**l

May 23, 2007

O.k. so I have been on the preop diet for 3 days now only 3 weeks and 4 days to go of it and it is a small portion of h**l.  I have to do the medi-fast diet but I am allowed to have all the broth and s/f popsicles and s/f jello that I want but the medi-fast is something else.  Although I did try the eggs tonight and they were delicious so I guess I will live mostly on medi-fast eggs, broth, the jello and popsicles for 4 weeks.  Ahhhhhhhhh.  I know it's for the good though and it's in my best interest so I am keeping a good head about it.  I have found though that the headaches I've been getting from no caffeine can be torture.  I figure though if I can get through a few more days the caffeine problem should be gone.  I can honestly say also that just being on this for 3 days already has me feeling a little more energetic.... well at least today.  I just pray the time goes fast so I can really begin my journey!!!!!! Until next time........

Consultation, Psych Eval. Complete!!!!!!

May 22, 2007

WEll yesterday I had my consultation with Dr. Curry and his Nurse Practioner, Dietician and da da da scheduled my surgery.  I go May 8 back to Cincy to get pre-op testing done and them June 22 I am scheduled to be banded at 10:30 a.m.  I am so excited about this.  I have been let down 2 times before to have wls but since this time I have decided to finance it all is going smoothly.  

There is only one bad thing to this so far and that is the 4 week medi-fast diet I have to be on.  I am just looking at it this way, if I can't change habits to accomodate this diet how could I with the band so I am determined and I am sticking with it no matter what.  I will probably own stock in Chicken Broth but oh well hey ....stock=chicken broth ???? lol.  One month isn't asking too much to get myself on the losing side and the plus from this diet is I should be able to lose 40-50 lbs. with it.  Woooo Whooooo.  I'm crossing my fingers and praying to get through it o.k. until next time.....

Finally Got A Consultation Date

May 8, 2007

I called Dr. Curry's office this past week and talked with Michelle (I think this was her name sry) and arranged for a new patient consultation with Dr. Curry and the psych nurse in his office.  Hopefully since I will be self-pay if there are no problems, I will be able to have my surgery within a short time after this.  I know the office told me around 3 weeks so it's very exciting.  I can't wait to have this surgery and begin a new chapter in my life.  I am looking so forward to being able to do things I haven't been able to do with my daughter for a long time because of my weight.  I have such a wonderful supporting husband also that is with me every step of the way.  I am very excited!!!!!!!
