Pre-Op Testing take 1

Went today for my Pre-Op testing, which didn't happen.

I got there on time, gave them my insurance card, the receptionist went away come back and said, there is a problem. Grrreeaaattt. Here is the deal, because they moved my surgery back 1 day, my insurance won't cover the testing today, but it will on Monday (try and figure that one out!).

So I'm going back on Monday for what could be 3 hours of testing and getting the hospitalist to sign off on me to get the surgery. It's only 7 days away!!!!

I have that on Monday and my last appointment with my surgeon on Tuesday. My mom gets here on Wed. to help with Crazy. I'm excited to see her!

This is sucky!

I HATE this pre-op diet! It's awful, I just think about the shakes and I want to puke. I have 10 more days and at this point, those shakes can suck it : )

Also, my surgery got moved to October 5th, it had to be moved back not forward of course.

Pre-Op Day 4

4 days into my pre-op diet and I haven't followed it correctly once. I suck. I don't want to do it at all, I'm just want to throw a huge hissy fit and stomp my feet.

18 days until my surgery, I need this to go fast!

Denial

Today starts my 3 week pre-op diet and I'm in denial about it. I don't want to do it!

It's not to bad - 3 shakes, 2 fruits and a salad with protein. It's much better than an all liquid diet, but I like variety and snacking. It's crazy to think that I can't eat anything except those things for the next 21 days. Then when I'm done with that, I will have my surgery, eek! Am I ready for this?

Rewards

I think rewards are a great motivator, so I've come up with a list of rewards for myself.

Pounds lost                     Reward
     25                         New haircut/color
     50                             Massage
     75                         Shopping Spree (at the thrifts store)
    100                        Trip to theme park

That's what I've got thus far, we shall see if I need to make more depending on motivation or because I've lost more than 100lbs. I would ultimately like to lose 120-150 lbs, but let's get to 100 first and then go from there.

29 days!

Eeeekk! It's getting close!
