Day 3 liquid diet - success!!!

Today is day 3 of my liquid diet in preparation for surgery Friday morning.  

I had a great day,  wasn't hungry at all and got so much accomplished in my house.  Spring cleaned everything this week, and got my house all settled for my trip to the hospital.

Yesterday was a nightmare,  had the headache from hell.  I think it was a combination of low blood sugar (Im hypoglycemic) and a little bit dehydration.  Nothing some water and a hard candy didn't fix -(after I OK'd it with my docs office).

Time is really flying by this week - and I am at peace with everything.  I thought I would be a ball of nerves, full of anxiety, but I am so calm and getting so much accomplished.   When I do feel some anxiety or stress creaping in I sit and pray the rosary and I am recharged!  (any type of meditation would be effective also for those who are Non- Catholic pre op'ers too!)  ;-)

Thanks for everyone's support on OH,  I wouldn't have gotten to this point without all of the wonderful advice and support.

Yay! Wishing you lots of prayers and positive thoughts for Friday!

Thanks!!!  Appreciate the prayers.... keep them coming!  ;-)

Good luck!  Will say a prayer for you!

Thanks so much!  Appreciate the prayers!  Keep them coming!  

wishing you well

Thanks you so much for the well wishes!

 Good luck!!

 Thanks so much!

Hi! I am on day 2 of the liquid diet and I am sooo hungry! Yesterday went well but today I want to eat so bad. I have to keep reminding myself of the ultimate prize. I know tomorrow will be better. I work in an elementary school and today was the last day of school so they had parties all day long - icecream, cupcakes, cookies, etc. etc. Yesterday they had a picnic and that didn't bother me at all but today was much harder to resist but I did it! Someone had suggested chewing sugar free gum (on another post) and that is helping some.
