Ok so I am 6 days from surgery and haven't had time to really process it, which may be a good thing. I have a new addition to the family and have her sister with us until this weekend which has kept me on my toes to say the least. I am not sure why the hubby decided that this week would be a good one to add a "great dane" baby to our broode but it honestly has helped me keep my mind on everything else but the surgery. Once in a while I still have 2nd thoughts but I have been just pushing those out of my mind and finding other stuff to do.  I have almost all my vitamins ready, I think I might still need the iron (can't remember) and I think I will get some muscle milk ready to drink for on the go situations and then use the samples that I have at home to get me started. I have to say things like knowing what/when and how much and what all to have ready for after surgery is pretty intimidating to say the least. I have been told by a fellow worker who is almost 9 months out that I will get it... I SURE HOPE SO!

Well here I am the day before surgery. I should hopefully by this time be in recovery and starting to wake up.... I still have not had the breakdown kick in. I am on the other hand a little testy today.  I am at work, figured nothing for me to do at home today so might as well go in. It keeps my mind off of things right now anyway.  I lost 11 lbs during this two week liver shrinking diet and today I need to get in 96 oz of water and so far (10:00am) I have gotten 36 in.... not bad but I feel like I am going to explode. :/

Well Well Well.... I am now 1 week Post op from surgery and every day gets a little easier. I have to say that today and yesterday have been my best yet. I went for my 1 week post op appt. yesterday and everything looks great. I now dont actually go back until Dec. 1st. I had lost 20lbs since last week so that is GREAT to know. I overall have been ok with the meal plan. I have had some head hunger but I just tell myself your NOT hungry. I am hopefully off the narcotics now and actually going to try and drive today. I will let you know how that goes! :)
