How Kind of you, It's wonderful on this side.....

Marie- Been tryin to call you the last few days to check on you. How's it going? Went to see the Pulmonary doctor today tried on the nasal pillows, honey thank you! I love it and the doctor's going to order for me, can't wait to get that under control. Anywho, happy valentines day, I'll try your number again over the long weekend, ok.

So sorry to hear about what happened to you during surgery, Nicole. Yes, I agree with the doctors, you have got to start using your CPAP. It takes some getting used to, but once you do get used to it you will not want to sleep a night without it. Try using the nasal pillows instead of the masks. I use them, and they are sooo much better and easier to get used to. After you get used to it and start to use it every night, your breathing patterns while you sleep will get better and you will sleep throughout the night.

Yes, we will meet to walk together when the weather warms up. I will keep you in my prayers that all will go well with the rest of your testing.

The pre-op diet is not quite as bad as I thought it would be. I ate anything and everything I wanted right up until the day I started. That is why I decided to start one week early. Hopefully I will loose some of the nine pounds that I gained after being approved.

Talk to you soon my friend.

Hello lady So good to hear from you, I'm doing ok trying to keep my head up. I had that EDC last week and during surgery stop breathing. Now gotta go back to Pulmonary doctor and then meet with the anesthesia doctor before surgery. That kinda freaked me out and had me wondering whether to do this or not. I just hate that machine, so haven't been using it. They tried to get me to promise to use but I'm hardheaded

I too have started to prepare for that pre-op diet so I've been doing smoothies for breakfast, salad at lunch and then small dinner. I don't want to gain another pound nor have the insurance turn me down.

Thinking I'm going to choose the first week in April, by then you will be on your way. But guess what it will be getting nice and we can walk! I'm so happy and excited for you, will be keeping you in my prayers. I promise to do better with keeping track of you, forgive me.

Hey Nicole,

Just checking in to see how you are doing. It's been a while since we last talked. I started my preop diet today. I started early because I had been eating sooo much that I gained 9 pounds. So I will be on the preop diet for three weeks instead of two. It was my choice to do it. The first day wasn't bad and I did not get hungry all day. I was able to get all my water in and some extra. Now I just hope the next twenty days will go this smooth.

So how is it going with you. Did you get a finalized date yet? Hope it is close to mine so that we can travel this journey together at a close rate of speed. Hope to hear from you soon.
