Sorry that I haven't written in a while! We've had a busy week or so. Last weekend was our birthdays so we had company and celebrated! We had hamburgers, green beans and sweet potato fries! It was delicious but certainly not like any other birthday meal we've ever had. We didn't deprive ourselves completely so we did have a very small piece of cake that a friend of ours brought and we enjoyed it! Back on track on Monday. We have had something every night this week so eating out or eating at the functions has been challenging but we just try to stick to grilled chicken salads or fish if it's offered. I've lost 12 lbs and Brian's down 21 lbs. He gained a couple last weekend but he's down again this morning. So, we're T minus 5 days. Surgery is on Tuesday morning. We'll find out the exact time on Monday. We watched the DVD our surgeon gave us today as well as an information session that they enrolled us in online. Both were very enlightening and informative regarding pre and post surgery instructions, risks, benefits etc. They gave us a little more piece of mind. Discipline, Discipline Discipline is going to be the key! We're going to have to be patient and focused and attentive to everything we put between our lips. We went to GNC today and got the Whey Protein for our smoothies. I have a feeling we'll be going there frequently. I'll post as we taste them and discuss which flavors we like best!
I had my final visit with my general physician today and they were supposed fax everything to Dr. Bagnato's office so that they can go ahead and get my pre approval from our insurance company so I hope to know my surgery date sometime next week! We're so excited!! Stay tuned.... We'll have our before pictures up next week before Brian's surgery!
