Last Supper

Had a great dinner tonight with girlfriends at Tao restaurant. Had spicy tuna rolls and chilean sea bass for apps, wasabi grilled filet mignon and doughnuts. It's restaurant week, so yummy prix fixe that had everything I wanted on the menu. It was amazing food with great girlfriends! Had three vodka tonics, so I'm feeling good as well!

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I'm actually really excited to start! I bought two cases of slim fast today which will get me through Friday. I plan to buy another case tomorrow at work so that I can keep some in the fridge there and won't have to cart them to work each day.

Thyroid results didn't come back in a positive way. Received a letter from the endocrinologist. He believes that I have papillary carcinoma in the right lobe and should have it removed. I have a surgical consult on the 29th and am going to find another endo for a second opinion this week. I really don't want this to get in the way of the lap band surgery, especially since I'm about to embark on two weeks of subsisting on slim fast, but I know that it's much more serious and I need to treat it as such. I'm definitely in denial about it though. I won't believe or accept that I actually have cancer until I hear it from another Endo or the surgeon.

For now, off to bed to wake up and begin my new life tomorrow!

  1. Hi there- congrats on the surgery date and good luck with the pre-op diet ;-)

    I hope everything is okay and that the visit with the 2nd endo is helpful.
