Cleared by everyone but not submitted yet.

Harumph! So far all of my clearances have been faxed to the surgeon's office so quickly. This last one, the GI, still hasn't made it there yet. I am disappointed because the surgeon's office said I could be moved up sooner as soon as the insurance approves my surgery. So, I made a call to GI office today to remind them but who knows if they actually did what I hoped they had done two days ago.

 

We had friends over tonight and are planning a grown up weekend away. I am so hesitant to commit to anything being that I don't know if I will be going to surgery around that time. I suspect it will not be bumped up too many weeks early... sort of a last hurrah.

 

I often wonder how life is going to be without certain foods. How will I do without any bread at all? Pasta will no longer be a friend. I cannot even imagine my favorite food, Mexican, being eaten by me again. I'm looking forward to breaking up with these foods. I'm tired of feeling and looking like I do.

 

Just some random thoughts...

That just started crossing my mind. The more I read and learn life just won't be the same. But I'm looking for change.

I was thinking the same things as you prior to surgery. How will I "live" without my diet coke? What??? I can't eat bread? However, now that I am into this journey over 6 months, it honestly is not that big of a deal. I really don't miss the soda. I have found so many other things to substitute it. I love the Ocean Spray Blueberry Lemonade that goes into the water. I was able to eat bread before I had my second fill...so I gradually started to cut back and I really don't miss not eating much of it. :rolleyes:
