I had my preplanned cheat this weekend... I drove to Brigantine, NJ to visit a friend on Friday... we walked for prob about an hour total..had lunch and coffee...

Saturday I did the "Cinco De Mayo" thing.. had 2 margaritas and a chicken quesidilla.

Back on the wagon today with a fat free caramel macchiato and chocolate protein shake (so far).

I have a 2:45 appointment for my pre op EKG. Will also have my bloodwork done tomorrow.

I did well today ... no cheating... 2 protein shakes and 1 meal (salad with low cal fat free dressing...) I did alot of walking today (shopping) and did 10 min. of bike riding.

Still no word about insurance... I go to the surgeon for my preop tomorrow... hopefully they'll have good news for me!

Since my surgeon only requires a pre op diet of clear liquids for 24 hours prior to surgery... I took it upon myself to replace 2 meals per day with protein shakes, and eat 1 low fat, low cal meal.... I'M GETTING HUNGRY!!! GRRR!

I'm still waiting to hear about the insurance. I spoke with the scheduler from the surgeon's office today... she said she faxed everything to them on Thursday..and should hear something very soon..maybe even today. I'm very nervous.

Endoscopy was a piece of cake... ok, um.. wrong choice of words.. haha.. it was EASY.

I was more nervous about my pending surgical pre auth. I stopped by the surgeon's office on my way to the hospital and dropped off more supporting paperwork for them to send off to BC/BS...when I was there I was told the insurance girl was on the phone with BC/BS for my auth.

Keep your fingers crossed for the approval!!!
