Two week countdown....14 days

May 23, 2010

So the liquid pre-op diet will be starting tomorrow. 

My wonderful husband fired up the grill tonight and through on some t-bones from my brother's side of beef.  Oh my!  They were tasty and tender and a great ending to my old ways.  I started out today with a cinnamon roll with my boys and as I looked at them I knew this was the right choice to make and that yes this would effect them, but I want them to grow up seeing healthier decisions made in the home.  Nothing against my mom, but a well balanced  diet was not on the top of our priorities.  Yes she did well with us, but we were carb loaded on a regular basis.  I really do worry for them that this next month will be difficult.  How much do we tell them?   What about when I'm in the hospital?  These are the questions that remain for us. 

I went shopping today...boy the next two weeks are going to be not very exciting in the food department.  Here we go:  sugar free jello, broth, carnation instant breakfasts, water, crystal light and protein shakes.  I also have my pre-natal vitamins, vitamin D,  calcium.  What am I missing?  I have my last pre-op appt with the Dr., nut., and my husband.  How lucky I am to have him in my corner! 

Erick will be feeding the boys at his mom's.  I stocked him up on his favorites to cook:  chicken nuggets, taquitos, pizza, pbj.  Veggies:  beans, peas, mixed, corn, lettuce.  Fruit:  oranges, grapes, bananas, watermelon.
