The Waiting Game

Throughout this whole process everything has been a waiting game. 


Part of me thinks that you have to jump through so many hoops and everything is extended out so that you have time to make a decision on if this really the best choice for you.



Honestly I have appreciated the waiting game. The wait between appoitments, the wait to be approved on so many different levels because for me I take things in and I listen. I work to pick them apart within my head and then talk to others about these things. 

I will find out my results for my sleep study Tuesday and after that I can schedule an appointment with the surgeon for a pre-op appointment to talk about what would be next and how to move forward.  

This process started in October for me when I decided to sign up for the first seminar. It is now January and if all goes well I should have a pre-op appointment in the beginning of February. 

The biggest conversation I have waited to have is with my family. I have not talked to my parents or my brother and sister-in-law about me deciding that I wanted to do this for me. That moving forward with my life this is one of the choices that I need to make for me. 

I am excited about my decision but I need to have that conversation as I want my family to be supportive of me throughout this process. I know they will be but need to just have this conversation.

I started looking up pre-op procedures and I know that I need to stop my birth control at least 1 month prior to surgery, as I was told in my first appointment (the physical.) Lucky for me, and this might be TMI for you but luckily for me my period starts soon and so I am on my placebo week. So I will stop taking them, or not start my next months pills in preparation.  Something else I have started in preparation, which actually I stated today was incorporating protien shakes into my diet. So my diet today looks as follows; 7am: 2 eggs on gluten free schar bread  10am: 1 banana  11:30am: One scoop of Pure Protein Chocolate in 20oz of water (this is more water than suggested but to get used to it I wanted i...
