Pre-op

Aug 10, 2011

 Heading out this morning to do pre op test.  I am not sure what that means other then taking blood and maybe an x-ray.  My date is getting closer.
I start my liver shrinkage diet on Aug. 25 and I will be eating a whole new way from that day on.  I was just wondering?  Do all the other Dr. make you do a liver shrinkage diet or is it just a few.  This is the first time I have ever heard of it.  But, they did say that if you do not do it he will not do your surgery.  He told us when we talk to him last that he had a women that did not do hers a few day ago and she went on vacation and had no concern about the diet and he told her he could not do it.  So she had to leave.  I don't know if they made her another date or not.  I just know I have waited to long not to do what they want me to do.  So, if all possible I will do what they ask for.  So, here I come Aug, 25.  I start a new me.  You don't get to eat a lot so he told us that I would loose about 15 to 20lbs on it. yahoo.  That will be great to have that much behind me.  
I have been trying different protein powders and am not crazy about any of them.....rather have a piece of key lime pie or a big bowl of ice cream.  But, I guess those days are over.  I read the other day about a women on here that ate a whole small ice cream cone from McDonald's and she got so sick.  I don't want to be sick.
But, I am so close to my date....So do I eat the things I think I will miss or do I try to eat as healthy as possible?  My mind says eat healthy and my body says eat bad.  So, who do I listen to my mind or my body.  This is so crazy.  My body is pulling me apart.
I hurt my ankle about a month ago and If only it would get better.  I am weak from not being able to get up and get around like I would like to.  I just hope this will not make it harder to get up out of that bed after surgery.  I dislike this ankle so much.  I have gone from a HUGE boot to a small one but, I don't even want to wear that.  I just want it better and the sooner the better.  Did I say how much I dislike this ankle yet.
I guess that is enough complaining for one day.  Sorry but it is getting down to my date and I have all these things going through my mind and I wish they would all go away.  Just wonder what I will say after a few months and look back at this blog and see what I should have done and what I should have thought.
