waiting games

Oct 13, 2010

Well I am switching insurances. Now I have to wait until Jan 1st before they can submit for approval. This is the hardest part, the waiting game. I am so excited/stoked to have this surgery and now I have to be patient.  ugh. that is like a swear word to me. lol.  Definitely NOT one of my virtues!

I saw a counselor yesterday that works with bariatric patients. Found out he runs a life skills group for pre and post bariatric surgery patients. It is an 8 week group and I will be starting the next one next week. I am excited! I figure the more I learn and know the more successful I will be.  This is a brand new chance for me. I don't want to mess it up.  

I saw a psychic yesterday too.  I know not everyone believes in them, but I do. I am pagan and that is part of my spiritual life. He didn't see any specific dates in mind but I have had a feeling of March. He thought maybe May. I'm hoping for the March date myself. lol. Also said it is to go well and he also sees another surgery down the road for removal of saggy skin. Kinda bummed about that. I am trying to be proactive and excercising now to help with that but after being SMO for over 20 years, I don't see my skin springing back. Damn it sucks getting old!

Trying to work on the pre-op diet as well. It is hard. 3 meals a day. 4 oz protein 1 cup veggie 1 cup fruit. No sugars no carbs. The last part I am struggling with. I quit soda 2 weeks ago and am looking into doing a sugar detox. This is a hard time of year for me with Halloween (yay favorite holiday), Thanksgiving and Christmas all around the corner.  I just need to keep remembering that my new life and health are worth more than any sugary food!
