Few days before surgery....

Dec 27, 2010

Ok, so I should have started this last week, however with the holidays and the excitement/fear/anticipation/worries/happiness revolving around my surgery I didn't.  Quick re account of the events of the past few days while they are still semi fresh in my mind...

12/16 I went in for my pre-op appointment and to begin my pre-op diet of protien shakes ---weight was 340 according to the Dr.'s scale.
12/17 Started diet today...wanted something crunchy in about 30 seconds of starting the diet (totally in my head but still wanted it)...i resisted untill about 8:30pm and had half a gerkin and then stopped when i realized what i was doing...
12/18 Hungry today but not doing so bad.  I am off work today and have noticed if I stay upstairs away from the kitchen I am fine.
12/19 Finally used to drinking my meals and finally came to terms with the fact that the next time I will get to CHEW is a little over a month away **sigh**
12/20 Ok back to work and to finish up things there for my absence. Very hetic day so food/hunger didnt have time to be an issue
12/21 Off today so i can mentally prepare for tomorrow and to pack and get the house in some sort of order.  My husband came home today (he works one week offshore and then has one week off).  Not really excited or scared...just not thinking about it at all.  Made the hubby take pictures and measurements. And finally bought a new scale for this journey after the other one bit the dust a couple of months ago.
