Pre-Op, Day 2

Apr 15, 2010

Well, still here.  I'm at work and just drank my dinner.  A nutritional shake I got from Smoothie King that had 32 grams of protein, putting my over my daily goal by two grams.  Cool.  I gotta tell you.  All of the support that I got yesterday really helps, I don't want to let any of you down.  My dear wife wants to do a two week diet too.  I know she won't do it, but it was sweet of her to say that.  I got a call from the nurse at the bariatric dept. at Oschner, wanting to make sure that I started my two week liquid diet.  She asked me how I'm doing on it, I told her I'm struggling, but I am sticking to it.  Tuesday I go to see Dr. Richardson, my surgeon and I am determined to drop some pounds.  I gained one pound over the weekend on my "farewell tour"  but I ain't telling him that.

Getting plenty of exercise at work, trying to drink a protein drink every four hours.  I even took the kids to Subway for dinner and didn't order anything for me.  One thing I did notice, my urine has been more yellow.  I have been taking a multivitamin every day since Sunday and this started on Monday.  I figure I haven't been drinking enough water, so I am drinking more of that.  I am going to add some Metamucil to the diet too, because I don't want to get constipated.  But increasing the water should help with that.  Talk to you tomorrow.
