8 Days In

May 04, 2011

So Today was my 8th day on the full liquids pre-surgery. It could be better but also worse I suppose. I will weight again tomorrow but yesterday I was down 8 lbs. I have my preop appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and I need to remember to tell him several specific things about nausea and pain management that were missed when my close friend had her sleeve 8 days ago. We are both nurses and were appalled by how long it took for her to get both pain and nausea meds once she asked for them. I'm hoping that I will not have the nausea that she did since she is very prone to it.
At any rate, I am now working on making sure that I have everything I need when I come home....cream of chicken soup, broth, jello, protein supplements, etc...
I will update after the weekend when I start to go into panic mode. I feel it coming slowly. I am very apprehensive about my future lifestyle. I just want to do it right. I know it won't be perfect because I am not perfect but dammit....I have to work this tool to the best of my ability.
