Liquid Diets Suck
Before you begin a liquid diet you think "oh that'll be easy!" but when you're ON the liquid diet...yeah right. It sucks. Especially when Dan is bringing home Wendy's and eating chili. And to top it off you then realize that you won't be able to eat any of this stuff again! Because you're having weight loss surgery... I pity the people who's surgeon makes them do 2 weeks of liquid dieting. YIKES! Sadly we have to do liquid again after surgery...but my little stomach ("pouch") will be the size of an egg at that point so I won't be hungry! Right now though...I'm freaking hungry. Broth, Jell-o, and Popsicles aren't cuttin' it here! I did have a protein drink that lasted me quite a while. Luckily we start introducing back in mushy foods after the first week and then more solids down the road.
The big day is tomorrow! Mom should be here soon and I have no idea what we're going to do till sleepy time. I should go to bed at around 8 since I have to get up at 4-ish to leave by 5. I've started packing my little travel bag with books and magazines and toiletries. I believe we have a private room and are able to shower the second or third day (can't remember which). I really hope I can sleep tonight. I slept worth crap on the day of my pre-ops...this is the big surgery day! I only imagine myself waking up thinking the entire time. Lets hope not...though honestly it's not that big of a deal. I'm not driving and technically I'll be out for several hours anyway.
Wish me luck people! With any luck I'll be updating this sucker Wednesday when I get home!!
