Okay, so let the weighing begin! Its hard not to be tempted to weigh everyday I am sure but somehow Grant has been able to contain himself until his 10 day appointment. So drum roll... 10 days and 23 pounds!!!!! WOW WOW WOW. Isn't that awesome.
It is pretty neat to see from the side line before surgery that it really seems to all pass fast. By that I mean the dreaded liquid diet everyone talks about. In the end you are on clear liquids for a week, thicker liquids for a week, then soft foods (eggs, cottage cheese, pudding, etc), then it goes right on to tuna/chicken/fish slightly pureed. It really doesn't seem so terrible when you look at the sample menus they give you. PLUS the vitamin regimen has begun for him and its a little tricky to get a rhythm for how to balance regular meds with the right combination of vitamins but that is why you have a nutritionist. I am so excited.
I am still on schedule for July 9. BUT my paperwork has not been sent to insurance yet so I am worried that will hold things up. Next week I have cardiologist appointments and that is pretty much the last of the big appointments before surgery. Can't believe I am this close.
Well enough for now. More again before surgery.
