Day Three... more liquids.. and a little peanut butter. :)

Dec 01, 2010

Welcome to Day Three of the liquid only diet... Actually, today went well too.  I had the day off from work so I could get all my pre-surgery appointments done.  First appointment was at the hospital with the Bariatric nurse.  We went over all the stuff to expect on the day of my surgery.  I have to be there at 8:30 for a 10:30 surgery.  According to Dr. Oz, that is the BEST time to have surgery, so I'm very pleased that is my time.  Then she took my blood and went over all the documents.  By the time I was done, I had to scoot over to the Wellness center to get my bone density test and meet with the surgeon.

Wow, if you've never had a bone density test, its very interesting.  You don't feel anything, you just lay on a table and you get scanned... (Of course, I thought of the full body scan at the airport with this! LOL)  Anywhoo, there was one image of my body that included the flesh... wow, what a sad sight at how huge my body is around that skinny skeleton.  All in all the bone density test went well.

Met with the Physician's assistant first, then the surgeon.  All my questions were answered and I've also volunteered to be part of an anonymous study.

By the time I got home from those appointments, I was STARVING... so I had another protein shake, and eventually made some broth.  everything good there, but I had plans for a movie night with some girlfriends, and I was going a little stir crazy about dinner... didn't want to take my last ready made protein drink, (but I did!), and then I got my actual information out, and found out that I can have more than I thought...so that is good... I'll be having some tomato soup tomorrow... count on it!!!  And I can have some lowfat cream soups too!! woohooo!!!  That will help with the boredom of having the same thing everyday.

I've been so excited about the surgery, today was the first day that it smacked me right between the eyes that I'm really doing this.  So I was a little nervous, but still excited too.  I've just got a few more butterflies now than I did yesterday.

Welcome to the rest of my life!! woohoo!!
