One Week Down!
May 10, 2012
Okay...week one after surgery is over!! I started my full liquids two days early because I just could not stomach another two days of broth. So far, so good! I feel a lot of different things going on in my belly area. I have been able to drink more fluids this week which is scarier (if anyone can relate). i thought I could hold a certain amount, but it seems I am able to drink about 2-4 ounces of water or other liquid in one sitting. Is this normal???
Well, I am still not eating or drinking anywhere near what I was able to before surgery. I guess I am just scared of going back where I came from. I know many can probably relate to this feeling. I pray God continues to bless and increase my health and livelihood. if anyone can remember being where I am now, I welcome the information!!
Almost There!!!

I have been waiting to get here for years! Now, I think I may be getting cold feet, but don't worry I have plenty of socks! These last couple of days have seemed so surreal. I will begin my pre-op diet on Monday April 23, 2012. I had been kinda keeping the fact that I was trying to have the surgery under close wraps. I only told a few select individuals.
I am nervous, excited, scared, unsure, and elated at the same time! I have been looking at the things I need for this pre-op diet and for ater the surgery. It seems a bit overwhelming!! HELP ANYONE!!
