I work in a hospital and acutally work on the floor where all of general surgery surgeon's main offices are based at. It has it's perks working with around surgeons! The surgeon actually came by me right now and said how was I feeling. He scared me, he snuck up right behind me. I asked him what else does he want me to do and he said nothing, Im good to go! WOW! I hope its true and no more tests are needed. He said he wanted to meet with me on Tuesday, July 24th after I meet with the dietician. I told him I want to have surgery ASAP and he said "good". He said my down town would be the most 4 weeks off work. So hopefully all goes good and I'll have surgery soon.
I thought eating would be hard after starting my journal. To the contrary, it has helped me realize what I eat or when I feel like eating and if Im truly hungry. I tried diet Dr. Pepper for the first time yesterday, not too bad. I was scared it was gonna taste horrible with the fake sugar in it and then trigger a migraine but it didnt. Im not going to lie and say its hard not wanting to "graze". I came across a whole box of gourmet cupcakes and passed it up. If anyone knows me, pastries and sweets are my weakness and I'm proud of myself to say that I passed it up. Even drinking chicken broth was not as bad as I thought it was going to be when I had to fast for the scope I had on Monday. I do notice that I have sweet tooth tendencies often and I fought it off last night with eating a carmen rice cake and hummus on top. Not the greatest but the carmel rice cake helped calm down the need for sweets.
This morning I ordered a omlette and had crystal light raspberry tea. The crystal light wasnt as bad as I thought it would be. I have also noticed that watching what I eat also has helped me not feel fatigued or sleepy. Welp, I gotta go, Im at work, phones and people are starting to distract me from blogging some more. C'ya soon!
