Waiting 'til Friday...

Jun 27, 2011

Had my Pre-op Testing appointment today.  I was scared that my blood pressure would be too high and the would delay the surgery or something (ironic considering my blood pressure is why I'm doing this in the first place).  They took it once and it was sky-high, something over 114.. then switched to the other arm and tried again and it was in the normal range.  Go figure.

Looks like I'm all set, my dad and sister are coming to wait with my boyfriend during the surgery.. I'm so glad, but I admit to being totally scared of this whole thing.  I started crying while talking to the poor lady at the hospital who was just trying to do her job asking about my health history. 

Now, are the next few days going to fly by or drag by?  Hmm. I admit since I didn't have a protein shake for breakfast, even though I'm on the liver reduction diet I threw caution to the wind and got a chicken tender salad on my way into work.  Oh well. 

Spent the weekend trying to stock up on some broths and foods I can try when I get up to pureed foods.  Found a toddler "Pasta and lentil bolognese" that was actually not loaded with sugar.  I wonder if I can just spike everything with unflavored protein?

I'm so ready to just get this show on the road, the aniticipation is driving me batty!
