9 days to go

May 11, 2009

I have 9 days to go until my Realize band surgery.  I'm excited and nervous.  Things went well at my Pre-admission testing last Wednesday.  According to their scale, which is the one I originaly got weighed on when I went for the initial consultation, I've lost 14 pounds.  That's much better than what I thought I had lost using the scale at my doctor's office here at home.  I've picked up some protein powders and ordered a small food processor that's kind of like the cheap version of the Magic Bullet.  I've also picked up my Flintston's chewable vitamins, B-12 sublingual, and chewable calcium.  I have some more things I'll have to pick up by this weekend, because then I'll be having surgery and probably won't be driving for at least a week.  I'm still trying to stay on my diet, but it's so hard, because I just have this urge to eat all my favorite stuff before my surgery.  But I know I can't do that, I need to be dieting and shrinking my liver.  I'm planning liquid meals for my three weeks of full liquid diet after the banding.  I'm almost looking forward to it.  I know I'll be really hungry living on liquids, but I'm so ready to start what feels like will be a new life.  At least new lifestyle.
