Hi all,Well, I have to be at the hospital at 7:30 AM on Wednesday for my RNY!!
I am really excited. I am actually scared too. I think I am more scared of how I will be after surgery in reguards to my drinking protein shakes and food. I just want to do it right, ya know?!!
I have had the occasional thoughts of death. I don't want to think about it, but they do pop up. I have a wonderful family and I don't want to leave them!! I am thinking positive though and I know God has brought me thus far and I know He will bring me back to my family safe and healthy!! I hold to that!!
I am pretty much packed to leave Tuesday morning. Our room is a mess with things, though. We have to bring our youngest daughter with us. She has been having really bad stomach issues and she sees a stomach doctor in Flint on Tuesday. So, since Flint is about 2 or so hours from us, we wont bring her back home she will just go with us. She is happy though. She is a big time mommy's girl and she is worried about me. So, I think with having her there with me, seeing that I'm ok, will help her. Plus, it gives her some Daddy and her time. So, after the stomach doctor appointment we will head to Ann Arbor to our hotel.
I'll try to get online and post we are there and such.
I prolly wont sleep Tuesday night. (Prolly wont sleep much Monday night either!!) I have to take sleeping pills, but I've not been taking them for the past 4 days. (Just don't want them to interfere with my surgery).
I got a new blender/food processor the other night at Walmarts (called the Ninja) I love it. I got my gas x strips (only 2 boxes, which I think now I should have gotten more), I got my chewable complete vitamins and some calcium chewables. We went to GNC and talked to the guy there and he showed me the protein drink that he recomends RNY's to use. It is like 60 bucks for a 3 pound tub. He said that this one absorbs more of the protein in my body then the ones I get at Walmarts. We didn't buy it, but I did buy 2 samples of it to try after surgery.
When we were at my PATS, I bought the sample bag for $20 and in there were some Nectar samples and I had already bought some samples on the internet. Problem is, I don't know how to use the Nectar proteins!! I posted a message about it on several of the forums here so I hope someone will help me out there. I add milk to my protein drinks now, but these flavors I got from Nectar, just don't seem like they would go with milk. I don't know how to use them with any other liquid or how much and the like. It says on the sample ones from Barix that I can just use a spoon to mix them. That is different than what I've been used to (using blender and milk!!).
Any ideas???!!!
Well, I'm going to head to bed and try to sleep. My thoughts are consumed with this surgery on Wednesday so I don't know how much sleep I will actually get!!
Take care all and thanks for reading up on me!!
God Bless,
Tari
