6 days to go

Sep 24, 2010

This week has been a busy week.  I had my PPTP testing on Monday I started out at 7:45 going to Cedars for Pre-op history and physical with my internist then on to pre-op labs, EKG, and donate blood.   I didn't get home until 3:00.  Boy, was I tired.  Wednesday,  I returned to Cedars at Noon for my Pre-op visit with my surgeon and Pre-op seminar.  This was another long afternoon.  Again I didn't get home until 6:30.  During my Pre-op visit they informed me of a change in their program that didn't include in their binder.   I am to start my Pre-op diet.  

3- Protein Shakes and 1 meal a day that can't be no more than 500 calories.  I started it yesterday.  The only good thing about it is I lost 4.5 lbs yesterday and it is only for 5 days.  Then I go on the pure liquid diet for 48 hours.  Some of other people at the seminar will be on the pre-op diet a bit longer because their surgery is not until the following week.
