One Month Count Down!

Jun 06, 2009

Hey Everybody!

So its been a while since my last post. Where has the time gone? However i do check the board several times a day. I found out my surgery date on May 15, and i never thought i would make it to the 1 month mark. Everyone was right the time does fly. Hopefully it keeps going just as fast. It didt hurt having a birthday in that time. that week just flew by. Didnt do anything fancy, just a nice dinner out to my Favorite restuaunt (Red Lobster) one last time before surgery. Probably going to be a while before i can eat there again. That reminds me that i need to get in one more chinese take out.

My Pre-Op testing is June 17th. Is it wierd to be excited? I am, i think it finally feel real when i am in there chugging berium. It says im scheduled for my Upper GI then PST (pre surgical testing i assume). I wondering what kind of tests this consists of. Im very Curious.

And then OMG two weeks from monday i start the two week liquid diet! I feel good about it now, and imagine myself getting through it with no problem. Maybe ill be one of the lucky ones and not have a difficult time. Who am i kidding! Im secretly fearing the worst in the back of mind. My dad said he would try it with me but i dont think he can hang, I feel like i still have so much to get. I have to drink 6 protien drinks a day for the first week (thats big money) and the second week i have to get the IMPACT recovery drink required by my doctor. Thats another 50 dollars and can only be ordered offline. Ive also been stocking up on the vitamins ill be needing and some post surgery essentials

So thats all thats been going on. Not much just working and taking it one day at a time, trying to focus on anything but the surgery. July 6! Cant wait for that Day! 29 Days to go!
