Trial and Error
May 25, 2008
So since I went back to work, getting this eatting thing down has been trial and error, As a nurse we are lucky if we get a bathroom break let alone a mealtime. And then before surgery it was inhaling whatever I could in the 5-10 minute break I may have gotten. Now I have to eat slow. This is very new to me. I now know that if I eat too fast or too much it will make me run to the bathroom to throw up. I know I am supposed to have a meal plan and a schedule but when you are working the floor there are no plans. So now I will just continue with my trial and error system until I get all my kinks worked out. But if you ask me if this is worth it--The answer is yes. I no longer feel like a prisoner trapped in a fat suit without hope. I see the the treasure at the end of the rainbow and it looks great. So my journey may be rocky but atleast I am going for the ride.
Home from Surgery
Apr 19, 2008
Surgery went great. I got to come home on Thursday. I had to stay longer than I wanted to because my doctor was an old school doc who didn't kick you out right away. Guess I was lucky that way. The insurance might not think I needed to be there so long but they'll get over it. Of course when I got home I thought I felt great and over did it just a little and wore myself out. Other than that I feel great. I left the hospital on a Stage 2 diet and have not had any problems except getting all my protien in. I AM NOT HUNGRY!!! That's a first.
Five More Days
Apr 08, 2008
Only five days to go. I am a little jittery. More nervous about anesthesia than the surgery. I know that with God on my side everything is going to be just fine. Tricare has given the 100% approval. I am glad everything is finally coming together. Almost two complete years to get this done but my ride is almost over. Thank you Jesus for being the driver I would have given up along time ago.
