Does anyone have a problem eating food?  Well, let me rephrase that....Do have the desire to eat?  I have no desire to eat, and that sometimes become an issue.  I will eat eggs in the morning, then for the rest of the day I have to sip on protein shakes because I know that I am not able to consume food like in the past.  I still have to cook for my 2 boys, and then can put it down, but I have changed the way I cook. 

Well, let me tell you all the things that happened in surgery.  Remember, to those that are reading everyone situation is different.  But, I am here to tell you that the DEVIL IS A LIAR! 

I am on my first day of fasting .....liquid diet and today has been a glorious day.  This morning for breakfast I drank a Unjury protein shake with skim milk and sugar free jello.  Lunch was protein shake cappichino and a scoop of unjury unflavored powder and jello and cream of mushroom soup with water.  I have walked myself to death today up the street down the street in the park at lunch.  thanks to an old friend from the past 20 years ago ....FACEBOOK coming to give a sister some love...really had me walking in the park....APPRECIATE IT!  I cooked Insley and Jarret eggs this morning and did not even sample it .....had not taste!  I prayed to the lord last night and ask that he help me with my food intake..... Here's what I said .......Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to you LORD to watch what I eat.....        I was so scared last night of failing that I read back over my papers and really took the instructions seriously.  I know my mother is looking down on me, and I would like to let her know that I will be alright

I ate some chicken wings yesterday, and had a very hard night.  I could not sleep the pain and cramps in my stomach was unbearable.  My children are not use to seeing me like that.  Well, I woke up this morning exhausted from the night and got to work and started on tomato soup with a little bacon bits to help, and then health wise vanilla cappuccino 15g protein, and a gallon of water.  Kinda scared to eat something....really scared......

Well, I have a date December 15, 2009 for my surgery.  I know it is right around the corner. The good part is that my children will be out of school for Christmas break....yeah baby!  I have so much that needs to be done before surgery.  I have not lost what I needed, but I can only PRAY to do better.  I have my last visit with Dr. Tomcho on October 6 at 11:45 am, and then my appointment with Dr. Gershin on November 20 at 8:45.  I want to cry because my biggest supporter is not her to hold my hand and tell me that it is going to be okay.  I put in my leave at work for December 12, so I could get my children in order to go to my sisters for a couple days. 

Well, I had to really walk, busy day at work and volunteering at Junior Achievement for the my child.  I started out walking this morning, because I knew that I am not the one to pay for parking when I work downtown.  My child had a field trip, and then we were holding our GIS day at the library, so I knew that in order to see that friendly smile on my child's face I would have to attend both.  I walked a total of 1.9 miles, and I feel just wonderful. 

Well, today I found that my blood pressure was ellevated, which meant that I would have to go on another pill.  I am in the process of changing PCP, but I do need to see my present doctor just one more time before changing. 

My RMR was today, only took about 15 minutes, test was 10 minutes.  I will get my bone density test results next month.  Your RMR is the minimum calories you burn each day for your body to keep everything functioning.

October 10, 2008  FIRST VISIT CONSULT

Well, I made my appointment and that day finally came.  I walked in the office and found that the staff was really attentive.  I talked with Dr. Keith Gersin, he answered my questions.  They sent me over to the lab in the office, where I had my blood drawn.  Needles are not a problem, but seeing the results are!  I was given a HOMEWORK PLAN TO FOLLOW WITH ALL MY APPOINTMENTS.

October 20, 2008  1st of 6 MEDICAL SUPERVISED APPOINTMENTS

I met with Dr. Tomcho who advised me that the Phentermine was doubling my pulse, it should be 64, mine was 112, that is the reason why I was having headaches, and numbness in my legs and arms (Duh!) He went over my blood work, and it was something all new to me.
