in no particular order....

~stay on top of all appointments to the best of my ability so it really will be "about a two-month process" like the dr. said.
~start walking a MINIMUM of two days a week on the three mile track
~start up with the couch to 5k program...if knees will allow
~begin shopping healthier for the family so it's not such a shock to everyone's system once i'm post-op and able to eat food again.
~get josh on here so he knows why...

I suppose blogging would be the next logical step now that i've joined TT. i'll be getting as much knowledge in as i can beforehand, and trying to prepare myself as much as possible for life post-op, but there are bound to be bumpy times coming my way...i mean, such is life. my emotions are already running the gamut, i can't even begin to really imagine what it is going to be like once i am on the other side heading toward my goals.

speaking of goals...i should prolly set some....

Hey everyone i am now in my fifth month supervised diet on dec 10 will be my final weighin I'm really excited about this. My PCP is doing everything that he can to help me get approved for the insurance. I have my pre op visit with the surgeons office this Friday the 30th. I will find out more once this visit is over. I have already completed my dietian and psych eval notlw just waiting on he days to go by.

My journey is just beginning- I went to the seminar in August, found out my insurance won't cover it in September and made the decision to self pay in October. I am scheduled for surgery November 17th. I have done all of my labs, upper GI, chest X Ray, etc... Everything looks good- iron is low so I have to get that up before surgery. I am very excited but a little concerned about the protein shakes can anyone give me some advice as to the best tasting shakes- I have never liked shakes, malts, smoothies-...
