I receive a call this morning saying X is the time of my surgery and what to bring.   10 MINUTES LATER   I receive a call from someone in the insurance dept of the hospital saying the letter my therapist sent wasn't good enough. That she should know how to word a letter to an insurance company and it wasn't "rocket science". the therapist the surgeon sent me to never finished his report from back in f**king April.   I have an hour to fax this woman back. Well actually now it's 10 minutes.
Talked with the surgeon yesterday. I am good to go. I had some extra blood work and talked to the anesthesiologist about being under for a set of shots i can't remember the name of. (He was attractive, but married...doh!)   My unflavored Unjury powder came in. It's a little odd but my other protein is worse.   I'm kinda nervous, kinda scared.
So..a woman at my mother's job had samples for me to try months ago. They were fine with milk...   But with water and food? Disgusting.   I have a tub of vanilla & cinnamon bun.(Mixed together because it looked like i have less to take this way, lol) I put it in a small glass now and hold my nose, trying to choke it down. If i don't take it, i'm out $30.   I'm waiting on unflavored UNJURY to come in, for my clear liquid stage next week.   5 more days until surgery.
Anyhow...   I think my scale is off. It says ive lost like 15lbs since i started the liquid diet. I've lost 30 since i started this whole testing for the surgery thing. Sooo...45lbs in a yearish?   Surgeon tomorrow so i guess i can find out.   This diet has me totally drained. No energy. I have no idea why i'm up now.
