Last Solid Meal

Tonight is my last solid meal. Bacon pickle cheese sandwich. Went for steak last night. It was very tasty.

See you in a few days.

Approved (again)

I got my letter from the insurance company today. I was approved. I say again because my Dr's office put my surgery in to insurance back in April when I was finished with everything. I wasn't ready then.  I am now. 22 days and i'm starting to get nervous. This is my last full week of work. Dr appts next week and support group and Pre op testing.. If everything goes the way I planned, liquid diet starts 10/4. The same night as out monthly Tacos with friends night. I wont be eating with them..

So yeah, nervous... I think scared too.. the last time I was in the hospital I was dating someone that didn't care. I was in the hospital for a week with no visitors or anything. It really bums a person to know you aren't loved. That's not the case anymore.. Tim is amazing and supportive and has crazy mad love for me..

Pretty soon I will be on the losers bench... yay!!!

I am SOOOOOOO ready for this.

Dates!

Pre admission testing and pre-op with the surgeon on 9/26 with surgery scheduled for 10/8. SOOOOO excited. and they have already scheduled my post op appts too. They are on the ball.. 55 days to go til surgery. I am a mixed bag of emotions.. Part of me is nervous that its so close. Anxious that something's gonna go wrong. Excited its finally set. determined not to fail.


Also, I made my food funeral list. Its longer than I thought. But my final meal is going to be sushi.

Pre-op appt and surgery date

Well, My pre op appt is 9/26 and  my surgery is scheduled for 10/08.
So excited I can barely contain myself.


Now to plan!

pre op appt

I am going crazy!

I have left multiple messages for the Dr'd office. Emails. I need to schedule my pre op appt for Sept before its too late. And i'm not getting any responses. Its killing me.

I'm a planner and if i cant plan everything out it drives me nuts and i get anxious. I was told my my nut that my pre op liquid diet would be 4 days. Found out from other patients of my dr last night, 2 weeks. UGH.

but

I have prepared my notebook for my blogs and youtube vlogs.
I am so ready.

Calcet Creamy bites ( review)

I ordered both flavors and received them yesterday.

There are 30 per box. 500 mg per chew.

They are amazing. Plain and simply put.
The chocolate tastes like a decadent creamy fudge and the lemon is like a cute lemon nougat petit four.
They melt in your mouth and go down smooth. You can find them online only so far. I haven't been able to locate them at a physical store. But I have purchased about 4 months worth.


Try them out they are worth it. You don't even realize you are eating a vitamin,
