I went to the doctor on 1/13/09.  She says I can return to work on 1/25.  She also suggested I start working on solid foods.  Its been fun. LOL  I have to remember to slow down.  I had a few rough meals.  I finally checked this site out and found some of the helpful tips my friend told me about.  Ibelieve it will make it helpful for me to keep up my health.

Surgery went well.  I have had problems adjusting to eating small.  Most of the protien shakes and etc taste horrible.  My sugar dropped yesterday and I felt so bad.  I am also having trouble finding anything to drink that tastes well.  Today was much better.  I ate lintels and mash potatoes with protien.  I also was able to eat sugar free fruit popsicles.   

December 28, 2009 I will have my bypass. It has been a long year.  But well worth it.

I found out on 8/13/09 that my insurance has approved my surgery.  I have an appointment with Dr. Weaver coming up.  I am excited about it all.  I am also very scared.  I know this is what I need and want.  But my fear of surgery is really there.  I know this  something I really need.

My husband and I are going to Turkey soon and the approval makes my trip better.  This is the last time I will have to deal with the seatbelts on airplanes.  Airplanes are my most embarrassing moments in my life.   However the trip brings back other memories such as the fact I found out I was pregnant. the last time I went.  

My feelings today are mixed.  I wish everything was TODAY.  Unfortunately life doesn't work that way.  I have also been stressed trying to get ready for our trip.  I have really been wanting to smoke.  I haven't had a cigarette since June 12th.  My doctor will not perform surgery if I do.  But it has really been tempting.
