Waiting For surgery date
Mar 05, 2009
I have submitted almost all of my doctors reports. I need to have a pap test and a mamogram. This should be done in March. I started at 354 five years ago and lost 126 lbs on my own. I now weigh 228 lbs. I am looking forward to the surgery and have started to diet like I have had it already. Drinking protein drinks, and cutting out diet coke. I have not given up coffee yet. Hopefully, I can still have that after surgery. At least decaf. I am getting my mind and body in the right frame of mind.Looking forward to spring and a new journey hopefully. I read so many success stories here and they are encouraging. Would like to tell everyone how wonderful to read them it is.
I am looking forward to being a healthier me. I have sleep apnea, diabetes 2 and a few other things like cholesteral and high blood pressure. Everything is under control with medicine and a bipap machine. Hopefully after surgery I can take less medicine. Just be healthy!
I am tired of people looking at me sadly and saying "so, you are really going to do this?" I am going to stop telling people I am going to have it and when. No one has been supportive but one friend. My family is supportive too, I must say that. They are just worried about complications and going into surgery. They know I can keep up the diet and are not worried about that.
Well! Hope to hear something soon about surgery. I will keep you posted!
Mary
