Pre-op Liquid Diet here I go!
May 03, 2011
Hi everyone!Even though I have been researching, learning, praying, and going from doctor to doctor contemplating, deciding, and preparing for my surgery, I will consider May 1st the beginning of my journey towards this new beginning for my life!
My surgery is scheduled for May 13th - YES! FRIDAY THE 13th! - and I began my pre-op liquid diet yesterday (May 1st)!
Emotionally I have been doing a lot of "work" in order to get to this point, but physically my "work" starts now and I am pumped and ready!
Even though my surgeon did not put me on a pre-op diet, I've decided to follow for 12 days a diet that is as similar to my post op diet as possible; protein shakes, carnation instant breakfast, clear liquids, and LOTS of water.
Yesterday wasn't easy, but my excitement about this new life carried me through most of the day! At night I broke down and had two pieces of pizza. I feel badly about that, but I am not beating myself down! Today I WILL carry it all the way through!
Let the pounds drop! =)
