Just when I thought everything was settled...turns out I have to have a psych consult. That's kinda scary, huh? I talked to the surgeon's office and they are going to expedite it, so we may still get to have surgery next week. I sure hope so, cause I've got myself psyched out about the date, and it'll bug me a lot if I have to put it off for two weeks. I see the surgeon tomorrow, so I should know more then. Wish me luck!!
I started my pre-op diet today. Most surgeons require liquid diets the two weeks before, but mine doesn't agree with that plan...thank GOD! I just have to do South Beach, Phase 1 for 7-10 days. Lots of lean meats and veggies, no carbs and lots of protein. I was really hungry today, but I think it was psychological...I kept thinking about that bag of pretzels in my drawer that I couldn't eat. So I went into the snack drawer and gave away the pretzels and the crackers and the english muffins and the oatmeal...felt pretty proud of myself!
The coworker that started this process with me found out today she's been approved too, and we might actually be having surgery on the same day. How fun is that?
So, one day down...8 more to go!
