Yesterday was my pre op day. Had a chest X-ray, labs, ultrasound, EKG and all the final details covered. It was a long long day but so worth it! I have to be at the hospital at 4:45 Thursday the 30th and surgery is set for 7:15. My nerves are starting to get to me  little as to be expected.. My Dr.told me I got the award for the most organized patient ! lol. I have everything in a binder and organized. I am going to try to post a picture of my book.

I have a BIG surprise for my kids that I hope to pull off without a flaw on Saturday. Its been a secret kept for 5 months! I will post a link of the video of them seeing their surprise,

Today is day 3 of my liquid pre op diet. I have to do this for three weeks! The first day I thought how am I EVER going to do this?!?!?!? Now its day 3 and I keep thinking to myself, I got this! It's not as bad as I feared it would be. 

I made a spread sheet in Excel and I listed al the things I know I would drink and how much protein is in each one and how many ounces of fluids.I have each thing listed about 6 times. I printed off enough for the pre op liquid diet and for a month after surgery so I can keep myself on tack and know what my fluid and protein intake is. I have a place to write the date and then every time I finish a drink I highlight it. At the end of the day I add it all up. I think this is what is keeping me on track. I am never giving my stomach a chance to be empty. 

So far I have lost 6 pounds. I weighed in at my surgeons office for the first time on January 21, 2013 at 333. I lost down to 324 then it  creeped back up to 333.

I go for my pre op on May 20th and my surgery is May 30th. I am ready to start living again!
