Day 6...here we go!

May 21, 2012

People I am here to tell you it gets soooo much better...Today I feel like a new man, I know that sounds extreme but I feel like I have so much energy today, more than I have had in a long time.  The biggest issue I have now is having to pee ALL THE TIME!  I think I am going to the bathroom at least 9 times a day...so I either got a bad prostate or I have my dad's bladder!  Another issue that I am running into is actually getting all my shakes in during the day.  I know everyones pre-op diet is different mine was 15 days of either 5 sugar-free carnations or slimfast 3-2-1, plus I could have sugarfree jello and popcicles, but now I think my stomach and body has gotten use to the fact that I am not going to cave in and eat, so they are adapting and getting smaller, which is making it harder to get those shakes in!  Plus I am up to about 200 ounces of water a day to get hydrated for surgery day...a little tip my awesome nurse practioner Derri told me to do to help with sickness from being put under...so all that water is filling me up big time!  So we close in on 1 week and I really feel the worst is behind me...I really hope I didn't just jinx myself by saying that!  Keep up the good fight people, you are going to be so much happier in the long run!  Stay strong and talk to you tomorrow!
