Surgery postponed, again!

Jan 03, 2010

While on vacation in Colorado last week, I received a call from my surgeons office.  Although I had been cleared by my family physician for surgery, again, (no sign of Shingles), my surgeon wanted to see me for another pre-op appointment.  The appointment is for Monday followed by surgery on Tuesday, Jan. 5th, if he approves.  I'm more nervous this time than I was for the first surgery date in November.  I'm also not nearly as prepared - I haven't been very faithful to the pre-op diet.  But the messages found on the people site have been a big help.  Please keep blogging!  Every word of encouragement helps.  I check it each day for updates and new postings. 

I am having a hard time finding a decent tasting protein drink that is not artificially sweetened.  It's not that I'm craving the sugar, I just can't stand artificial sweeteners.  I've avoided them most of my adult life.  Any suggestions?

I'll post again after surgery on Tuesday.
