Kaiser Richmond Pre-op



Recommended Posts

Good morning!

I had a WAKE up call today!

I was SUPPOSED to wake up at 5 to go with mike to work today.. Well we all know nicole 5 is a bit early so i said "im sleeping" well after i heard the garage i was like crud i need keys.. to go to Walmart today.. Well i run out hes gone.. then im like ok ill call.. hes not far.. HE TOOK MY CELLLLLL! Oh my lifeline:( so i texted not to happy..

Then i went to sleep well tried u know everyone calls when ur tryin..lol.. so i get up make auds some eggs, and make a tea for me.. Grab two SMALL LITTLE TINY tylenols, and take them and take a big sip of tea (old habbits die hard) and well you betcha those darn tylenol got stuck!!!!! So stuck that is the worst pain i have felt so far. All the tea i had drank came back up.

So now im focusing on drinking 16 oz before i try to eat cause wowie.. be careful with that tylenol girls..

OK for everyone facing being laid off.. here is what we did. I had kaiser when i gave birth and mike got laid off from vsp. We couldnt afford Cobra.. so we went and looked at Kaisers Steps program, (you can find it online) and only people who have previously had kaiser and gotten laid off are eligible. Well they do it via incom but you can make quite a bit i believe i can make 50 k for us and qualify. The first year it was 50 dollars a month, co pay was 5.00 and emergency free. So very affordable coverage.. better then what we had working, then for audrey i put her on the child plan its 5.00 a month till she is 18 yrs old. Her copays are only 10 dollars. Ok now i pay 97.00 a month and my copay is 15. Next year it goes up to 145.:thumbup: but that is a LOT cheaper then cobra...

Just an fyi:)

Today was mikes first day back at work. Id have to say i do like him working jus tmy mornings are less stress alone.. its kinda nice.

April i see ya online, thursday im doin apt stuff mike wants me to look at 1 other place closer (walking distance) from intel. And then we are making up our mind, i figure no matter what he will fulfill a lease so i dont need to worry too much about moving with him right now.

To be honest we arent in agreement on which floor plan we like i like the 2/2 he lieks the 2/1 lol. So its not fun right now lol. I have a feeling though we will probably end up with the 2/1... well see:D

I just ate my 1/3 c tuna salad and taking a break from my system testing to catch up with my ladies. I am going to work from home all day Friday - yipee- I have a 7:30 am appt with my therapist and then I will work at home and save some gas.

Nicole - why did Mike take your cell phone and not his own?

I went to Curves yesterday afternoon - burned 367 calories - had half of a 1 egg ham and cheese omelet for dinner - pbd part of it up - and when I got on the scale this am it showed I had gained a pound. What the heck?

Did anyone see "Ruby" this week? Poor gal - her scale at home was about 10 lbs lighter than the scale at her nutritionist's office . The nutritionist reminded me of Robin.

ok so I'm still trying to figure out the FMLA stuff I've already talked to 4 people none of which could help me, now I'm waiting for a call back from someone else....So we don't get disability here until after 30days so I have to use my sick time and after 3 days off you need to apply for FMLA (which insures job security) did I mention that I talked to Bev 1st and she said this is elective surgery so i can't get FMLA B.S.

oh joy this is going to be fun...I need to find out since these FMLA papers say I need to return them by Sept 8th which is a week before the surgery.:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
