THE DATE!
Feb 20, 2008
MARCH 4TH! YAY!
A lot sooner than expected. I went in for my finance, nutrition, and introduction appointments on Feb 15th and there I was on Feb 18th with my surgery date set for two weeks later! I started my pre-op diet on Feb. 19th and the first day was HARD. The night of Feb. 18th the hubby and I went out to Olive Garden as a last meal together and I really wish I hadnt. Going from eating Olive Garden to eating NOTHING was very depressing. I wish I had a little more time to prepare for the diet, but its ok! Im more excited about the early surgery date. Originally I wasnt expecting it to be until April.
The hardest thing so far has been finding a tasty protein. The fist powdered mix that I bought was so terrible that I couldnt drink it. I tried mixing it with a lil decaf instant coffee and it made it tollerable, but not something that I could see myself eating for 2 weeks. The next thing I found was Myoplex lite. Its SO much better. The French Vanilla is oddly reminiscent of lucky charms. So, this works but I still need to try others. One flavor just isnt going to cut it.
The best thing so far has been finding this website! The forums are amazing! Its a great form of support and I love hearing others stories. It makes me realize Im not the only one who is going/gone through this.
Well, thanks to anyone that is reading this and I look forward to providing you with more! Hopefully something more exciting next time, eh? ^_^
