Recommended Posts

Me too. :(

If you are in Houston, we'll have to get together some time... It would be good to have someone to chat and hangout with who's going through this as well.

I was trying to figure out how to pay my remaining balance. I am scared if I get a money order or something it will get lost... Probably my nerves.

That's great only issue with that for me is I don't have time to deposit it. So I'm just getting a Cashier check and I'll fill the rest out later. To insure it doesn't get lost ima keeping it in my pocket.

That's reasonable. I'm a little nervous about that too. That's y I kinda want to use my credit cards but I don't want to pay the service fee because I'm using more then on card. Plus I don't want that much in credit.

R4AC... I think I would rather do that. I am going to email my coordinator to get that information.

Thanks

I know! I just don't want anything going wrong... I don't have a Wells Fargo here, but I will just have to drive to one. I just don't feel comfortable carrying a check for that amount around. I get there at 9...it came by sooo fast!

How has your preop diet been. This full liquid might kick my tail!

It's doing okay I have little struggles here and there. But it turns out we weren't required to do a full liquid. Our paperwork says Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a salad for dinner. I double checked with Alma days after starting and she said I didn't have to do full liquids. Just follow the plan and the day before surgery Clear Liquids with nothing to eat after mid night. I was so frustrated with that but decided to stick with the liquids it's not going to hurt anything.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
