its getting closer!

Mar 09, 2011

I have four weeks from yesterday until my surgery! I have been on this journey since august 2010, and it is going to be soo soo worth it! I am getting worried right now about finding a protein shake to drink for the two weeks pre op, never mind after. I have been trying to drink one for breakfast every day and I a not too picky. But, the Pure Protein that I thought tasted good did NOT agree with me. I paid for it all day, not easy when I drive a school bus..time to move on to another kind. I drink it at 6 am and by 8 am i am very hungry and don't feel very well. I am a diabetic, so not sure if that has anything to do with it. I am too busy driving to do anything about it. I may try to get the ones that they sell in the drs office, as long as i can mix them with water. Milk and I don't see eye to eye!
     I have spent so many hours reading and rereading all of the paper work from the surgeon, and I always find something that I missed! Today I go to the dietician for the last time before surgery. I have loads of questions for her. I think that my biggest fear, besides how my family will be able to keep things up at home is how to know what, when, how much, etc to eat and drink. I see the sample menus, and I am not a picky eater. But, i know that I will have my work cut out for me when it comes to my protein and fluids..oh well, I need to get that down befroe I go in. My wonderful dietician will hopefully lead me in the right direction! I'll be back, have to go see Diane! The dietician who has helped me so far!
