Pre-op Testing and the NFL

So, even though I got my letter a week and a half ago, since my surgeon was at a bariatric surgery conference, my orders for my testing didn't get put in until Friday. No biggie, since I'm not planning on surgery until after we get back from the cruise. But, I called on Friday, and I did indeed get my testing scheduled for this Wednesday.

So, if you remember when I talked about getting my letter, that I had to have an upper GI test, and a chest X-Ray. Well, the chest X-Ray is just a walk-in thing, so, let's hope the hospital's X-Ray dept isn't super busy on Weds... As for the upper GI, I have no idea what to expect. All I know is that it's done in the fluoroscopy department. What is fluoroscopy? Well, if you watch Grey's, it's the thing they use a lot in surgery to make sure they know where they're going inside your body. Honestly, that's all that I really know about it too. Heh. But, I will, of course, let you all know what it's like on Thursday, once I've had it done.

So, you probably saw that my post has NFL in the title. No. I'm not going to talk about politics here. I am going to talk about food. So, my husband and I are HUGE Cleveland Browns fans, but, we live here in Indianapolis. So, needless to say, we don't get to see a lot of football. But, because the Colts suck this year (sorry Indy, but you do), tickets to Sunday's game were like $20. So, we bought tickets, got a sitter (Thank you amazing Mother-in-law of mine!!!!), and went to the game. Sadly, my Browns lost (see? Indy isn't the only team that sucks. But, I still love my boys. I'm just a realistic Browns fan), but, I'd never been to an NFL game, so, we had a lot of fun. We had planned my meal out pretty well for the day. I was going to grab a protein shake on the way out the door, and then just not eat at the stadium. I even ate a fairly large breakfast (well, large for me) to help compensate. But, guess who forgot her shake? *facepalm*

So, we were trying to think of what to do. But we figured worst case scenario, I'd get a bun-less burger. However! Surprise, surprise, in the stadium they had a STIR-FRY Station! :D I got to eat, and stay healthy! They served it in a to-go Chinese-style container that at the very bottom had some gluten-free noodles, which I of course didn't eat. But, it was chicken, and soy sauce, and lots of yummy veggies. It was awesome. And healthy. So, yeah. Once again proving that if you really want it, you can find healthy food options. There is no excuse to "Cheat." :) Did you all have a good weekend?
