New Me in 09

Jun 03, 2009

This is a first for me.  I have never blogged before so here goes.  I'm filled with so many mixed emotions about surgery and my life changing forever.  I'm excited, happy, scared and sometimes in mourning already for the things I can no longer have.  It's crazy. 

As I type this my stomach is growling.  That being said I have started my liquid diet in preparation for my surgery on JUNE 11TH.  I didn't have to start until Thursday, but I started on Monday just to make sure my liver is down to the right size.  I will do anything to make sure everything goes well.  It's been harder than I thought, maybe because I have a cold on top of not eating.  I don't really like jello.  I think I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't like jello.  Everyone tells me how they love jello every time I tell them what I can eat.  Anyway all I'm eating is 2 cups of broth a day and I try to choke down some jello and 64 plus oz of water a day.  I'm ok drinking my coffee without creamer, I thought that would be so hard, but it's not too bad.  I made my daughter dinner on Monday, I had my mug of broth and she was like I want some of that.  I was like what and she said what you are eating.  I had to laugh, here I am sipping this mug of liquid wishing I could eat and she is eating chicken and veggies and she wants to eat what mommy has.  That's the way kids are they want to be just like us and that's another reason for me to change my life.
