Monday July 26

282.7

Today was my nutrition class, pre op with Asshole surgeon and my psych eval. Ok. I usually always go with my gut. If I don't like someone, I usually get away from them. Well, I don't like my surgeon. He is mean and rude. He threatend me today with canceling my surgery because I haven't lost enough weight. They were not talking to me at all before I got approval from the insurance then all of a sudden they call and want to schedule my surgery. No one once asked if I was close to my 30 lbs I as suppose to lose they just said "let's schedule it." Then they schedule my nutrtition class 4 days after my liquid diet was suppose to start and all the informaiton for the liquid diet was in the nutrition class. F to the word!!!!! I am just so mad. I feel like a number and a puppet. But I am told that surgeons don't have a good beside manner and I am told that this surgeon is very good. SO! I am sticking with it but if he cancels my surgery or postpones it then I am going to a new surgeon. I also took the dumbest ever peronality test today. 300+ questions to see if I am crazy or not. UG.

OK sorry that this wasn't a good day. I am tired and hungry. I need to walk a lot so call me anyone. Tomorrow I am just going to walk around Mullenix Ridge. Or maybe I will call Marie!

Andi out!

Oh wait P.S. Mark read through my entire packet and that made me feel good. Thank you honey!

  1. Sheesh! OK, well at least you KNOW that he is a good surgeon. That is a good thing to focus on now. It is very true, though, many surgeons have horrible bedside manners. I think I told you about my gyn/onc surgeon in Seattle? So try to remind and reassure yourself that he is an excellent surgeon, and maybe that asset can "forgive" some of the asshole part (easier said than done)! Also, scheduling your nutrition appointment AFTER you are supposed to start the liquid diet? NOT GOOD. Maybe they are used to a different type of people, but I think you are like me and need to know the WHY of something before you can completely commit to it. I hope you have that information now, it will help you get through this! (And by the way ... "why"?) Andi, I am so sorry that I have been unable to go walking with you. I am dealing with some dizziness/lightheaded issues that I hope will be over soon. It's made me unable to go for my walks for sometime now, which really bothers me. But I hope to be able to resume them SOON!

  2. Thank you so much Marie. Your words mean so much too me. Knowing why is important to me but knowing how is critical. I didn't know how they wanted me to do it. Let me know when you can walk again. If you could only go up to Mullenix and walk on the lower field I would do that with you. But you have to feel good first. My trekking poles keep me very stable. I couldn't walk without them. I did very good today so I feel good about that. I walked 2 miles plus swam and only have had one protien shake so far. I need one more. I need to turn the damn TV off. No more food commercials. I wish I could make you feel as good as you make me.

    Lots of love,

    Andi
