Today starts my sixth day preop. It's going ok. So, I'm grateful I am allowed to eat. However, Christmas treats are calling my freaking name lol. It's like heyyyy girl, why you ignoring me. Ik it's in my head but oof. I swear while my family is eating thier glorious yummy food I'm going to be watching them and trying to make them uncomfortable. Maybe drool here and there lmao. Jk jk...maybeHello all, checking in! I'm on day 4 of the 2 week clear liquid plus 4-5 protein shakes. Yesterday was the hardest so far, today I woke up feeling better. The only concession is that I asked to substitute one protein shake for one cup of milk, I put a half cup of milk in my decaf coffee and I have 2 in the morning. I just keep thinking my liver better be straight *&^% dainty after this.
I kept wanting to ask if I could have a tiny portion of food on Christmas day, the RN who did our class said that several of the surgeons were allowing that, but now that I feel better I don't want to start that process over again, I'll just stick with what I"m doing. No need to suffer any more than I have to.
It feels like time is simultaneously flying by and standing still. It's so weird, and the next 10 days feel miles away and yet 10 days til surgery is crazy.
How are you Truffleshuffle, Ucbear, and Epril?
Lily you are rocking this preop girl! I am proud of you. You have amazing will power! You are going to do great on your WLS journey.
I agree with you, surgery day is coming up fast! I go on the 27th to do my P.A.T. I am getting more nervous as the days go by. I even dreamed of backing out of it on Surgery day. I'm not cause I went through 6 months of tests and educational classes and all that good stuff to be where I'm at and I'll be damned if it was for nothing lol.
Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
