Lots of Appointments! And physicals and diets.

Well, I got scheduled for all my pre-op appointments last week!

I have the following appointments:

Dr. S. - October 27th - Surgical hooks and wires

Dr. L. - November 1st - Impressions and xrays

Dr. R. (my GP) - November 17th - H+P physical for hospital admittance

Dr. L - December 1st - Paperwork; wavers and a hefty check for my splint and surgical fees.

December 3rd: Surgery!

I'm very excited, nervous, etc. The next 7 weeks are going to be very busy and stressful.

Husband and I are signing up for life insurance, and have a physical on November 7th, so we are trying to lose those last few pounds that put us in the "overweight" category. I have about 3lbs to lose, which doesn't seem like much, but damn are they hard to shake off!

I did slimfast for 2 weeks and lost 4lbs, but am just so hungry by the end of the day that I can't even muster the enthusiasm and energy to work out, which I need to! So today we went to the grocery store and loaded up on veggies, meats and cheeses and are going low-carb for a few weeks to lose those pesky pounds. Fingers crossed!

After surgery I know I'll lose more, so I am going off diet entirely between after the insurance physical and before surgery. Besides, why force myself to be on a liquid diet NOW when I CAN eat instead of in December, when I won't even be able to open my mouth? This is a better idea. Carnivorism, here I come!

Anyway, that's about it for now... I'll let you know how my hooks and wires appointment goes!
