Day 2 of my Pre-op

I am on day 2 of my 10 day pre op and I am not doing good at all. I ate yesterday and had popcorn today. I actually wasn't sure what I could or could not have. I mean I am not clear. I didn't plan and when u don't plan u plan to fail. :faint:     So I have read a few journals and have become inspired :clap2: . So I will be going to get some protein shots for now and after surgery. I have to get my vitamins too. I meet with the nutritionist tomorrow. So I plan to do better. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Day 4

I did so good today until this evening. I prepared six ice trays full of pureed food. my mild chili and chicken & broc soup. Then went to a meeting with my ensure and water and was very optimistic. Well the meeting was from 6:30 until 11:20 and I was starving so I ate a chicken sandwich. :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help: :help:   But I will not lay completely down. I will get up tomorrow and begin again. Still waiting to be banded. on the 22nd.

Day 6 & 7 & 8

Okay I know I was told not to give up and I didn't but these two days I gave in. :faint: :hungry: . I ate not in excess though, but I had a last meal so to speak. I hate pizza in the afternoon and applebees maple blondie and appetizer wings that night. On Sunday I ate catfish cabbage for lunch, and Burger King for dinner. I got sick :sick   Today I am doing great. I made some soup for dinner and drank ensure and water. I am back on track and pray that my surgeon doesn't get me on the 22nd. Well tomorrow is another day and I await to be banded.

Day 3 of my Pre-op

Today was a lot better. I had my appointment with the nutritionist. I was able to get a better understanding of the liquids I can and can't have. I am excited that I can have chili during the pureed stage. I plan on cooking my soup and chili tomorrow and freezing it. I am having trouble finding protein powder though. don't really want any flavored bcause will be adding it to my food. i am now a little more optimistic :clap2: about the surgery. Still nervous about having extra skin bcause i cannot afford that surgery and insurance won't cover it. All I can do is : :pray2:
