Hello again. Since my last post (which in actuality was my first post), I have received a surgery date (November 12th!). Here is what I have planned and what I have been doing thus far. I have lost about 5 lbs (according to my new digital scale - God I hope it is right!). I am really conscious of what I put in my mouth. I am drinking a ton of Water every day and cutting back on caffeine. I purchased powder Protein which I intend to experiment with a little, so I'm not in total shock come time for the REAL DEAL. I purchased a cool single serve blender and started taking Vitamins everyday.

In reality, I should have been taking a Multivitamin everyday already, but better late than never.

I have the following appts to get through before the surgery date: another dietician appt; barium swallow test; meet the surgeon (all at end of September).

then in October, I have to attend four mandatory classes; and a day long appt. for a whole bunch of things that the girl on the phone couldn't explain to me...I know one appt. is for an ekg, I'm thinking some bloodwork; dietician again and an appt. to discuss "what to expect" after surgery. hmmm I think that about covers it all. I told myself that I would not think negative thoughts about my insurance coming up with some "blip". So I kinda don't give it a second thought really. Hope all goes well. Wish me luck!

Thanks for reading...I'll keep you posted - Diane (p.s. I already decided that I would not attend the family thanksgiving this year - too much preasure and I probably won't feel so great)
