PRE-OP DIET

Apr 29, 2011

So I had my pre-op appointment on Good Friday, April 22.  I then started my pre-op on Saturday.  It hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be.  And by the way, it's the liquid diet -- high protein, low carb.  The day before my surgery is nothing but the clear liquids.  I never thought I would be so happy to be on clear liquids.  It's just one more step away to being on the losing side. 

So my surgery in on Monday, May 2 at 9 am.  I have to be there at 6.  Hubby took the week off to take care of the kids, and my mom is planning on staying with me at the hospital.  Doctor said I should be leaving by Wednesday.

I've been trying to get my stuff in order for the hospital and for when I come home.  I still need to do a little more shopping for the clear liquids.  Saturday, I'm going in to the office and tie up all the lose ends.  Then I'm meeting my daughter when she gets off work to go shopping for maternity clothes.  She's 3 months along and has a pretty good pooch.

Really excited about the surgery now since the grandbaby is coming.  I'll be able to do so much more with him/her than I could with my own. 

It will be a new journey, both weightloss and being a grandmother.  But with my trust in God, I know things will be better than ever.
