Only a few more days...

Sep 04, 2010

So, let's see. My surgery is in 3 more days. I feel like I'm not prepared enough. Not in terms of mentally...but with having all the things I think I'm going to need while at home. Protein powders, liquid, soft foods...etc. Guess I'll be shopping today. I am seriously not looking forward to Tuesday either. I have never done a bowel prep, nor do I want to find out what one is like. But such is life. I figure if I can make it through that, Wednesday will be a breeze. Haha.  
I've been on my two week liquid diet, which I actually started early. But yesterday I cheated and had some fried rice from the local thai place. I just couldn't help myself. And I've done so well for the past 2 and half weeks I figured a little bit of rice wasn't going to hurt me. But after I ate it and thought about it, I just went through the thought process that I always battle. "Just a little bit won't hurt..." Then a little bit turns into a lot and so on. I'm sure most of us know what that's like. Only difference is, is that I'll have a little help controlling that in a few days. I'm nervous about missing food, and feeling left out. "Well, I want to eat that too!" is what I fear I'll think all too often, but hopefully not. 
This journey has brought out a lot of different emotions. I'm pretty much past the excitement part of it all and I'm just plain nervous. I know everything will turn out ok, but it's still hard to wrap my head around what I'm actually going to be doing. I never thought this day would actually come, and look, here it is 3 days away. Wish me luck. I'll take all the good happy thoughts that anyone is willing to give.
