FINALLY!!!!!
I HAVE A DATE!!!!!! Finally after what seems like an eternity of waiting, even though it was only since the beginning of November when I scheduled my first consult, I will be joining all of you awesome and inspiring people in this incredible journey. I got the call Wednesday and was going to post then but my head has been swimming in all of this and I've been trying to help my MIL book a flight to come down to help out with my kiddos. So a month from today I will get my new beginning. Wow...I just can't believe it!!!
So I've already got a few different flavors of some protein powders for the pre-op diet and got a few samples for vitamins and such. I actually got a couple of prescriptions from my PCP for calcium, iron, and B-12 (injections). The only problem is they aren't chewable and look like horse pills. I'm concerned I won't be able to take them and will end up spending a good bit on trial and error to find something that will work. (Suggestions please.
)
Soooo I have to start my pre-op diet on.....VALENTINE'S DAY!!! My husband and I are planning on doing something the night before pending a sitter for the kiddies. Sort of the last supper if you will, a last hoorah, and any other cliche' that comes to mind.
All in all though, I'm super excited to start this endeavor!!!

Well my date is 2/11 and started pre op liquid diet today. Bought several kinds of shakes to try. Last meal was Outback Fillet with sweet potato and some bloomin onion with thunder down under chocolate brownie.
I am so busy at work I have not had time to think about surgery although a few weeks ago I was terrified. Going to DePaul with Dr. Morales. Hope I have an easy time. I have apnea so ICU will follow for a little while. I am planning a fall trip to Boston and Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. I hope by then I will be able to eat a few shrimp and a bite or two of lobster.
I am looking forward to being the new me.
