2 More Days of Pre-Op

Jul 13, 2012

Well, I have to say that this week was actually not as bad as I thought. My doctor has me on a 1 week of pre-op diet which consists of a shake for breakfast and lunch plus a protein / veggie dinner. Only fluid allowed is water.

The low calories do make me feel a bit distracted from time to time, absent-minded, is a good word for it. The stomach upsets are a challenge too. I had to use some dulcolax by day 3 if you know what I mean.However, I see it as the necessary evil.

However, the weight loss boost is a nice benefit. I actually lost 7.5 pounds since Monday.

I'm a little overwhelmed by all of the information that I received at my pre-op class yesterday, but I took good notes that I'll review tomorrow. Also, per doctor's orders no more red meat, cheese or fried foods after tonight. It's funny that I look forward to eating lettuce just so I can chew something.

I keep fretting that I'm going to forget anything... RELAX, RELENT, RELEASE!!!

I'd love to fast-forward to post-op recovery. LOL

I'll let you know how I make through Sunday's prep. Will be heading to bed early on Sunday night- 5:30AM surgery appt.
