What's that noise...oh that would be my stomach!! SO HUNGRY! Yesterday was easy until about 11:30pm when I was still awake and my stomach was growling. Today seemed harder, but I'm still forging ahead. I'm trying to eat (or I should say drink) about every three hours. I'm going to have some veggies after this entry with my caffeine free diet coke and then get to have my slim fast "milkshake" around 9:30...trying to wait until later to avoid the whole stomach eating itself when I'm trying to sleep thing.
I have my pre-op medical clearance with my primary tomorrow, forms he needs to fill out before my pre-op appt with NYU hospital (which is on the 30th). I heard from the surgeon's office today and I have to pay $550 the day of admission and then everything else is covered 100%. Not bad...a $25,000 surgery for the low cost of $550. Thank god for good insurance! It was interesting, I thought my surgery was going to be outpatient, but she said CIGNA approved me for 3 days in the hospital. They won't keep me if I don't have to be there, but nice to know I'm covered just in case. Except for this whole "thryoid" bump in the road, everything else seems to be going really well!
YAH!!

I kept hearing about muscle milk and got some today... yum. It was really good. 32 grams of protein. I don't think it will be my staple, as the calories are high (333) but it could be a good go to when I need to feel less deprived :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely a tricky road to navigate - you want to behave but damn, it's hard when your tummy is grumbling lol. Keep up the great work though... you have a great purpose in mind :)
