I am so effing hungry right now. I made teriyaki chicken for dinner and I can't eat it. Not even a bite! I need my shake. Today I have had 1 protien shake, 2 cups of green tea my vitamins and lots of water. I will be having another shake. Linda and Megan walked in Banner forest with me today and it was a nice walk. I am going to stick to this but if he doesn't do this I am going to be so mad. I need to go to Costco and get my supplements.
Here is my new motto.
Andi is not a wimp.

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!

Got as far as the date and remember that it was Elsie's birthday so had to go wish her. Now I have to get ready for my breathing test. More later.

This is damn hard! I don't get why they want me on clear liquids. Monday will tell. I have a nutrition class. I started out today with a protien shake that had one scoop of protien powder, water and banana. Then I juiced using spinach, cucumber, grapes and tomatoes. I have had 2 cups of that so far. I had an avacado. Tomorrow I have my breathing test and ekg. Monday I have the nutrition class, last apt. with Dr. Oh and psych. eval. Can hardly wait till I'm not hungry.

I ate a lot yesterday. It was the day before my liquid diet. I had some tests. Had to fast. Bloodwork, urine, abdominal ultrsound and chest xray. Then I went out to lunch with my family. After that I was wiped out so I took a nap. Then went to get a hair cut. Went to Gayles for dinner and had sushi and ribs! And I drank beer and wine. I don't feel bad.
My PA that I saw on Tuesday said to do the best I can on the liquid diet until my class on Tuesday and tell them that I have been doing the clear liquid all along. I like him. I am using powdered protien powder for now and it isn't a clear liquid. The biggest reason I am doing this is cost. The liquid protien is very expensive and I will have to use it afterward for quite awhile.
I have only had liquids today but I had coffee with half and half and protien powder and for dinner I will be adding yogurt and strawberries.
I am talking to my stomach and telling it that it is not hungry. Smelling everyone elses food is hard. I told Mark no saucage cooking till after the surgery.
I will be trying meditation and doing my hypnosis more.
Andi out!

My period started. What a pleasant suprise! NOT. So talking about this is hard for me (not my period ha). I sit at the computer a lot. Like maybe 8+ hours a day. I can do little chores but I tire easily and take lots of breaks. That is getting better since I have been moving more. The hardest thing for me to do is schedule things outside of the house. I can take my kids to practise. They tell me when and where and I go. I hate going to new places. I usually don't go alone. I have to schedule Blaine and Lucas' physicals and I had to reschedule a part of my imaging for my surgery and my office visit with my physician.
The physicals scheduling went fine. I called the number for St. Francis imaging that had been left on my voicemail while on vacation and it was long distance. My imaging is in Gig Harbor. I don't have long distance on my home phone. Using the cell stresses me out because I dont' have good coverage (why did they have to change this I think). I call the number on the paper Dr. Oh's office gave me. It's not long distance. They transferred me, I was transferred again, I got a voicemail. I left a message. I went to the bathroom. The phone rang. I didn't have it. I missed the call. It was St. Joseph hospital. UG They didn't leave a message. What does that mean? Am I suppose to call back or do they? I called the local imaging phone number again and was put on hold. I held for a few minutes and hung up. Called Dr. Oh's office, got voicemail, hung up. Got on my cell called the number back that called me from St. Josephs and explained. Got transferred to scheduling, left a message. She called back to tell me that she doesnt' schedule St. Anthoney's and she transferred me. Guess what? I got another FUCKING voicemail! So I left a message. I hope she calls me back and I have a phone by me. I have so many things to do for my surgery between now and Aug. 5 that I just want to crawl into a hole. I am not good with a busy schedule. Some of my friends thrive on it. I break out in a sweat and want to cry. I am shaking as I type this.
Positives! I made 3 successful appointments today. One for me and one each for Blaine and Lucas. Frutrating! Trying to reschedule this damn diagnostic thing. And my period. Oh my lovely gift from God. BLA!
Between now and Aug. 5 I have to do the following
7/20/10 Dr. clearance from my doctor (she is on maternity leave so I see a PA)
7/21/10 11:00 am tentative Diagnostic imagining ( nothing to eat 8 hours prior.) blood work unine analysis ekg abdominal ultrasound chest x ray pft with Sa 02. I know it sounds worse that it probably is but that is a lot and no one explained to me if this is just one appointment or all. My Dr. isn't easy to get a hold of.
07/22/10 START CLEAR LIQUID DIET! God help the people around me (wait I am having a positive attitude).
7/25/10 SUNDAY 12:15 Breathing test and EKG Don't have to fast so that's ok.
7/26/10 9-Noon Pre surgery education and nutrition class
1 PM Last office visit ( I have only met with the Dr. once)
3-5 Psych eval. HA! What now. I already know that I am crazy!
07/28/10 Pre-op by phone Noon
08/05/10 5:30 AM Check in! Are you kidding me?
I couldn't do this on my own. Gayle is going with me on my busy day. I love you soooo much Gayle!!! Mark should go to the nutrition class but Gayle will understand more and be more of a help to me. I couldn't read the form I just wrote out. Gayle told me what was when then I could look at it. My mind doesn't absorb what I see (as well)until after I hear it.
OK This was good to get off my chest.
