day 2 of 7 day preop diet

Aug 01, 2010

day one was bad, I was so hungry. had 5 glucerna shakes and some chicken broth. Wanted 5 shakes and a sensible herd of cattle. Maybe a whole chicken. Today so far is better, not dreaming of food. had one shake about 8am, about to have another at noon. Tomorrow wil be tough, work is very stressful, and eating has been my security blanket. I probably wont be alot of fun to be around. But I ll get by, Im gonna make it. And saturday will be here. Life will be changed forever, HAve no clue what to expect.

My wife asked me what Im looking forward to the most, I dont know. Ive always joked about leather and spandex, but really havent thought about it. I have a 17 month old son, so being able to play with him more is exciting. Looking forward to being more active. Being able to do the things I used to do instead of just reading and daydreaming about it. Other than that, raelly dont know what to expect. Its hard to imagine life without eating being the focus of it all. Not a bad thing at all, just different.  Diabetes, high cholesterol and sleep apnia Im told will be a thing of the past. Im hoping my that will also increase my testosterone, my Dr has said its very low.  That will be a plus, Im sure even my wife will enjoy that. She is not exactly thrilled about this surgery. She is an RN in a busy ICU, she has seen alot of GBGBs (gastric bypasses gone bad) but she has total faith in my surgeon. She says, if he wsnt doin it, then I wasnt having it.

Leather and spandex is not totally out of the question though.
