okay-

So apparently I blow at this blogging thing. I may even more than suck!

This is a big week. I will be going to see my endocrinologist on Friday the 15th. I was suppose to go and see a cardiologist on the 11th, but that had to get rescheduled for the 20th. Anyway, so I go see my doc on the 15th. Little worried because he's not a fan of gastric bypass surgery. In fact, he's told me a few times that he doesn't think anyone should get it done. This is not a good thing because my surgeon wants my endo to sign off on it. So I'm going to have to be extra charming. I don't want my endo from keeping me from being able to do what I really want.

Then on the 18th I will have my psychiatric consult, exercise evaluation and diet consult. That I'm looking forward to. Around that time is when I will be preparing for what I can and cannot eat before and after the surgery. I need to lose about 20 lbs before the surgery- and I need to make sure not to eat fatty foods because I need my liver to be extra lean!

On that Wednesday- the 20th, I'll be meeting with the cardiologist and he will have to run several tests on my heart to make sure I'm in tip top shape. I'm in great shape except for the size of my ass. Anyway- in about 5 days it'll be a month count down and I just really can't wait!
