I HAVE A DATE!!!

AFTER ALL THE WAITING AND FRETTING I GOT A SURGERY DATE! INS. APPROVED ME IN ONE DAY. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? DO I NEED TO MAKE AN APPT WITH MY DR. TO CHANGE SOME OF MY MEDICINES THAT ARE LARGER CAPSULES? IS THAT WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO? I'M GOING TO THE NEXT 2 SUPPORT MEETINGS IN B'HAM & HOPE TO GET ANY SUPPLIMENTS I'LL NEED. ANYTHING SPECIAL I NEED? ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. CATHY

OH GOSH! I FORGOT TO TELL THE MOST IMPORTANT PART...SURG. DATE IS MON. AUG. 18TH. I AM ALSO ON A STRICT DIET. I HAVE TO LOSE 20 LBS. BEFORE I CAN HAVE THE SURGERY. I JUST STARTED SUNDAY (7/6). SO FAR I'M DOING OK. I'M ON WEIGH****CHERS. IT SEEMS TO BE THE BEST FOR ME. I HAVE A LOT OF FLEXIBILITY & THAT WAY IF I GET A "BAD" FOOD CRAVING I CAN EAT IT & STILL FEEL I AM ON MY DIET. (I JUST COUNT THE POINTS) WELL, WISH ME LUCK CAUSE I GOTTA BE A GOOD GIRL FOR THE NEXT 5 WKS. AND RIGHT NOW I'D LOVE A STEAK FROM APPLEBEES...SIGH. THAT LAST WEEK AFTER I WEIGHT IN AT THE DR'S OFFICE LOOK OUT! ONE WEEK TO EAT A FEW OF THE "NO,NO" FOODS I CAN'T HAVE AFTER SURGERY. HUGS, CATHY
