One Week to Go

Nov 23, 2010

So I only have a week to go till surgery, and I'm actually getting excited.  Up till about a week ago, I was just worried about getting through all the pre-surgery hoops, and I didn't think about it too much.

I've been on a pre-surgery diet of Optifast as required by my surgeon.  I had a very difficult time the first two days of the diet because of the "shakes" that were on the diet.  They caused me to have low blood sugar issues so bad I ended up throwing up on myself at work.  The NUT at the surgeon's office told me to stop the shakes and just stick with the nutrition bars and soups.  That has worked for me and by today, I'm not having too much in the way of hunger issues.  I'm glad I had to do the pre-surgery diet because I think that adjustment will be one less issue for me after surgery.

Tomorrow morning I go for pre-surgery testing, and that's the last hurtle before surgery.  December 1 is "showtime."  It's all good.
