Welp, I am 2 days away from my surgery and I am getting excited and nervous as everyone does. I will be staying overnight so I have been trying to prepare things around the house.
I am excited that this may start the change of my life. I am nervouse becuase for the past three weeks I have had a low fever that comes and goes. I don't get it. When I went to my regular doc to get it checked out it was not there so I was still cleared for my surgery. When I went for my pre-op visit, I had a slight fever of 99.2:confused:. I am nervous that I will get there the morning of surgery and the say, "Sorry, you have a fever, we need to reschedule!" That, honestly is the only thing I am nervous about. I have been on my pre-op diet now for 2 weeks and I would have to go through all of this again. I mean, I REALLY have not lost as much weight as I would have thought on this. Only 7lbs in this 2 weeks! :bored:
Boy...there are a lot of adjustments to make after having this surgery! I mean -I knew all about the small bites, chewing well and stuff. I guess the head hunger vs. real hunger is a biggy. I must say that I am only just now starting to feel hungry in between meals. At first it was more that I wanted flavor and texture, not that I was hungry. I am FINALLY on normal foods but I have noticed that I have been getting a little bit of an upset stomach after I eat, especially in the morning. Also, I have added back two protein shakes a day since they seem to keep me full longer and I don't mind the taste. I guess for me it is safe until I start eating with my stomach and NOT my eyes. I also have to- have to -have to -have a small snack between lunch and dinner otherwise I feel like I could eat everything in sight including the pets! And do it without taking small bites or chewing well. Good thing I go for my first fill in five days. Hope I will feel some sort of restriction.
