And so, in 7 weeks I am having a gastric bypass. I am freaked out and excited and everything at once. I have training at the hospital now every Monday and Wednesday, to build strength towards the operation. I am also asked to follow the diet plan strictly, so that I lose the necessary 6 kgs minimum until the operation. I have until now lost about 3 kgs, so I am optimistic.
on the 24th I have my final meeting at the hospital, and I get all the paperwork I have to submit for funding. Which is a formality... I know. Socialist countries rock. 😎 I don't have to worry about any of the cost, apart from all the vitamins that I will need to take for the rest of my life. Which is a fair few, actually...
So now I am on shopping stop until ... well... next year? heh. No worries, I still have a 2-year-old that I can shop for. 😂 My fiancé was worried about me having to buy a whole new wardrobe. I suppose he hasn't noticed that I only use about 10 outfits, whereas my wardrobe is FULL.. and I have stuff in storage that I haven't had the heart to throw out since I was about 50 kgs lighter. So, NO worries there whatsoever, I am looking forward to fitting into all the stuff that is in storage again.
Meanwhile I am getting ready for the big change. I have booked a denstist appointment, although I hate going to the dentist, because my tooth on the right upper back is hurting when I chew. And I need to chew, a loooot. I'm looking at pill organizers for the vitamins I need each day. Slowly starting to research what to cook and what I can still eat afterwards.
A lot to do....
