Done with the liquids! Tomorrow is the big day!
Aug 19, 2013
I can officially say I survived the liquid diet! Honestly, I believed it would be terrible, but it went pretty well. After the first 2 days I really didn't get that hungry.. at least not any more than when was eating solid food. Today was an all clear liquid day, and it was a little tougher. I'm not going to lie. I'm hungry right now. I was able to get through work today and concentrate, and I wasn't any more crabby than usual. I had black coffee, crystal light, 3 cups of broth, and 3 sugar free popsicles. And lots of water!!! I proved to myself that I could do it and not cheat- and I'm feeling pretty happy about that! I haven't lost as much as I thought I would. Maybe 8 or 9 pounds over the past 2 weeks for a total of about 22? I'll take that and be proud of it, because I fought for every pound!!!
I'm a little apprehensive about tomorrow. I suppose its normal to worry about all of the things that could go wrong with surgery. I've also developed a cold- which doesn't surprise me. My immune system probably isn't at its best. I have a two year old in daycare and a 15 year old step son who just went back to school. Exposure to germs are a given (and daycare germs are the worst!! Kids are little germ monkeys!!!) I can be around sick people all day at work and do fine, but if I get within 5 feet of a sneezy toddler with a runny nose- I know I'll have it in a few days. I called the office and the nurse said it should be ok as long as its not too bad. So, as long as it doesn't get my asthma going, I should be good to go tomorrow! I'm not excited about sneezing and coughing with abdominal incisions- but there is no way I am cancelling. If they cancel surgery- so be it. But I will be there and ready! I
My mom is going to take me to the hospital and my husband is going to meet me there. Surgery is scheduled for 1015AM! I still can't believe it's tomorrow!
