I have my last visit for my 6 mo. supervised period scheduled with my PCP on Dec. 1st. He told me that I had already completed my visits, but by my calculations, I still need to be seen in December and I don't want to take any chances, so I am keeping the appt. Then my records can be resubmitted for approval to my insurance.

Getting a puppy has done wonders for my exercise levels. We both have built up our tolerance to distance and speed. I'm taking my vitamins so that my levels will be at the healthiest possible level before my surgery. My pcp says that I should do really well in the post-op period because of some of the changes that I have made. Hope he is right.

I'm excited, yet scared at the same time. I have made peace with my decision to have this surgery done, yet do still regret having come to this point in life. But I'm going to take care of the problem and move on with things. Hopefully. If the darn insurance company cooperates and approves me....

Hmmm. I think I feel a change coming on.....

I feel kind of ....... "different". I feel like my brain is starting to prepare for a different life. I have lost 10 lbs. That's not a lot, but it is kind of a big amount for me. I started taking vitamins every day. I have been keeping track of what I eat in a food journal. Small things, but in the scheme of things ...... they are big for me. Go Jane!!!

Waiting....and hoping...

I had my final visit with my PCP for my 6 month supervised diet last Friday. If all goes well, my surgeon will have that info and everything needed to submit to my ins for prior approval of my surgery. I hate to wait!

Where's an ark when you need one?

Nature has decided to show us how awesome it is again! We are near the record flood we had in 1993 AGAIN. City streets are closed, buildings are flooded and there is a pond in my basement. At least it is moving water down there, so it is fresh for my kitties to drink.... Our water treatment plant hasn't flooded yet this time (but it looks like a tiny town in the middle of an ocean) and of course they assure us that it won't. Oh well, it stirs up a little excitement in the city and gives us all something to gawk at!

Feeling kind of lumpy today...

I have lost zero pounds and feel like a round blob today. I haven't been trying though and don't know why I expect it to magically disappear. I've always been a horrible dieter. Obviously. I think I am waiting to get approved for my surgery and my brain just doesn't want to deal with fat anymore, so I am pretending it isn't there. I've been doing that for years now, come to think of it. Sad, sad, sad.
