I have FINALLY been rescheduled!!! I am "ON" for next Tuesday, June 14th!! YAY!

I had been about to be wheeled into surgery on May 24th when they realized my potassium was super low.

Since I have Chron's disease/ulcerative colitis, everyone had a freak out thinking it was due to the disease.

If so, they were thinking it might be like 6 months or more before I could get the surgery done.

Luckily, it was due to my preop diet!! LOL! I was unable to do Slimfast...the lactose just tore me up...so I was doing 2 Isopure ready made drinks per day plus one meal and Water. I had lost 18 pounds in 2 weeks...so they think that is what caused the potassium drop. DUH!

I am a Physical Therapist by degree...you would think I would know about electrolytes. Ha ha!

Anyway, as many of you know....I was TOTALLY frustrated! So dog gone excited to get back on track!

I can hardly wait til next week! I will keep you posted on my last, last week of preop wt. loss...and figure out how to fix up a ticker to track it etc.

Thanks to everyone here for all your support and encouragement!!

I am doing the party dance today!!!!!!
