okay I came home last night at 6;30 p.m from a staff meeting and there was a message from Julie asking me to return her call ..... the first thing I thought was OMG they cancelled my appointment!!!!  Iphoned back and left a message for her to call me. That night I read some books about wls very good info So the next day at 11:45 I get the call from Julie saying that my surgery would be on the 8. my mouth flew open in shock........ I then said well that means  I will have to start the pre-op diet now today and she said yes. we talked about my pre-op dr. appt and I directed her to the dr. that had performed it.  she said she would get back to me by the end of the day.. So at around 2:20 she called back and said that they have decided to leave the surgery on th 16.  I have to say that was fine by me.

I have to say that I am getting scared, afraid of death and dying. I find myself looking at the kids wondering if anything happens if they will be okay? they are so young and I love  them so much. WHAT AM I DOING????  I plan on spending lots of time with them and hugging them as much as I can. I think that this maybe part of the process?


That all for now

well lets see I have been overweight my whole life. I am 33 and have 3 young boys who i love more than anything. I have a huge family history with type 2 diabetes and lost 2 aunties who were only in their 40's very scary.    I have managed to lose some weight but was never able to keep it off long term. I finally had enough and decided in 2008/09  to ask my Dr. about  wls.  The first few responses was that my bmi was not high enough.In the fall of 2009 I was diagnosed with type II diabetes she re-wrote the letter and I received a appointment date for June 2012.  My Dr. heard about the program in Manitoba and referred me.  I received the call in August and the appointments where all lined up.  So that brings us to the current day!!

so I phoned Julie after waiting over a week to hear something or anything. The day that I have been waiting a while to hear is November 16, 2010 sounds like a great day to me!! I was given  3 weeks notice  2 of which will be used to do the pre-op diet which consists of 2 shakes 1 bar and 2 cups of veggies a day. We are also allowed diet pop, low cal drinks, sugar free jello. I have to tell you though I was very happy when I was told that I could still have coffee even if i can only have 2 teaspoons (approx) of skim milk but hey, could be nothing at all. So for the next week I am going to make sure that I cook my favorite foods and enjoy them,.in moderation of course( that is so funny to say that)I do live 4 hours out of the city so I was really glad that I had already purchased the shakes and bars, (which came out to 180.00 something) otherwise it would have been another drive for me.
