six days and counting

Apr 06, 2011

I am six days away from my surgery and two days into my pre-op liquid diet. I'm proud of myself for not cheating, and I can't believe that my husband came home Monday night and told me that he wanted to do the liquid diet with me this week. He is a chef, and is around food ALL day, I don't know how he is going to do it. He said he wanted to know what I was going through and be there for me. I've got a slight headache in the afternoon but I am semi convinced it is from sugar and cafine withdrawls. I'm drinking slimfast in the morning, which I normally do anyways, then an oh yeah! shake throughout the afternoon (although I haven't been able to drink it all either day), and some soup at night. I've also been drinking 3-4 bottles of water and a poweraide throughout the day. I hope this is what I am supposed to be doing. yesterday I had 780 calories. So I hope when I'm reading this in a few months I am beyond glad that I have done all of this. And props to BCBS they called me today to make sure I didn't have any questions about the surgery and then some contact numbers to nurses that are available 24 hours a day if you have questions after the surgery, or complications. Tuesday April 12th 5:30 here I come.
