Save The Date!!

So the lady finally called me back!! I was asleep when she called so I really hope I got all the information she gave me right. My date is 3/15/10!!! 35 days away! WOW, only 35 days away. Hard to believe. She said I need to come in on March 2nd for my pre-op appointment. I can't remember everything she said about it but it sound like it will be about how to eat after surgery and about the pre-op diet too. I'll be talking with the surgeon and learning about fills. Also I'll have some tests done, like and ekg and stuff. Since I was sleepy, I would like to call and verify my dates and times but I feel like I can't because this lady seems so put out by her job. For her to call me back just to schedule my surgery it took like 30 calls and 3 messages. Since I'm paying these people $18,000, $5000 of which is coming straight out of my pocket, I think they should have better customer service skills. Seriously.

Anyway, so I'm so excited to know when this wonderful event is going to take place so that I can start planning and requesting time off. How long did you guys take off of work? I was thinking a week would do. OMG, you know what I just realized??? There's only 28 days in February! I only have 20 days left to eat like a normal person, well, a fat normal person lol! I don't know about you guys, but I plan on eating at a few of my favorite restaurants before I start my pre-op diet. Chinese food being one, and Olive Garden being the other. Also, I've been told I should have a fairwell piece of pizza and anything with a bun that I enjoy. To a person who hasn't struggled with their weight, this might sound kind of sick, but food has been a big part of my life. It's been there for me when I'm sad, or happy and it's even kept me company when I was just lonely or bored. I've loved it, hated it, it's been my bestfriend and also my enemy. So those bad habits and food choices deserve a proper fairwell in my opinion. A fairwell to fat week!!! I've loved you, but now it's time to go! Buh bye now! lol!

WOO HOO!! You have a date. That is so exciting. It will be here before you know it.

You know what I miss the most since surgery? Sandwiches! I just can't bite into a sandwich anymore with breads and the fillings. I can eat wraps most of the time...but it's just not the same. So have a sandwich for me! LOL.

Yay! A date to look forward to. The time will fly by fast. I had my surgery on a Friday, and went back to work on Monday. I wished I had taken a week off. I was so tired and the gas was killing me. Enjoy your "normal" food, it will be a while before you can eat those again. Although, I did eat @ Olive garden during my mushy phase.

I just got my date on Monday as well. I'm scheduled for the 17th. My birthday is on the 14th. So I can totally relate to your farewell to fat foodie week. There won't be any going out for a birthday dinner, no cake or ice cream this year. Just a chalky protein shake! LOL
