Pre-op Liquid Diet

Aug 20, 2013

Well, I am ending day 7 of the pre-op liquid diet. The first 3-4 days were very hard. I have made it half was and only "cheated" once...I ate a pickle. Now, technically, this is ok because it is a cucumber and it meets all the requirements as far as calories and sugars so I don't feel guilty.   My favorite of all the protein powders I got is the Nectar Cappuccino.  LIFE SAVER !!  

I had my 6 month appointment with my primary care physician yesterday, per the requirements of my insurance, and she cleared me for surgery.  She also set up a consult with the anesthesiologist to go over a plan since I didn't wake up well the last time I had surgery.

I have my pro-op appointment with my surgeon and his staff on Thursday. I will also have all my testing done ie. blood work, EKG, sonogram and such.  

I am excited but it really hasn't hit me full force yet.  I think once I am in the waiting area, with my lovely gown on, it will really hit. 

That's it for now.  Thank you for joining me on this journey !!

God Bless !!
