Three weeks from tonight my surgery will be done. A little scared, a little excited. I soooo want to wear normal clothes again! I know that wont happen for a year or so. But, at least I can see the end of the tunnel.
The patient advocate emailed me yesterday and said the pre-op diet starts today. I thought it was suppose to start a week ago. I love that are realistic and I still get to eat small portions. I get to eat greens, one small fruit, 1-2 4oz servings of white chicken, fish, or other lean meat, 2 protein drinks a day, sugar free jello and pudding. A daily average of 1200 calories. I am surprised I get to eat that much real food! The goal is to reduce the amount of fat on my liver by the time of surgery.
The worst part of it the giving up of pop. I can drink coffee, crystal light and tea. I truly don't care of any of them. I guess I will have to learn or give up caffeine. I plan on asking her about the 5 hour energy shots. They are mostly vitamins and caffeine. Only 4 calories. I am curious readers...what do you think? Suggestions? Feel free to comment..
The hardest part of today was the TWO times I checked my mailbox at work I had chocolate in it. The first time I handed to the closest person I could find once I realized I had every intention of eating the chocolate kisses. The next time it was a small Reese's egg. UGGHHHH!
