clear liquids, little sleep, getting ready

So my DR. has me on a 2 day liquid diet before surgery tomorrow.

Its been HARD! Esp since I have class at night and come home tired and hungry.

Made some beans ahead of time and planned on drinking the broth as dinner.

Kind of cheated and added 1 tsp of beans (like 5-6 beans) I feel guilty and I caught myself rationalizing it by saying that they're full of fiber so they'd be gone by Friday morning!

I know, i know... not good.

 

I've been really anxious and full of apprehensiveness because of this surgery.

I'm not getting enough sleep or enough calories/nutrients so i feel like i'm running low.

Its worth the price though, being healthy from now on.

 

Cleaning has become my go to distraction.

Washed bed linen and body pillow.

Broomed and mopped floor

took my dog's thing out of my room and put them in the living room

Have gatorade and V8 fruit juice freezing

Set up meds next to bed on windowsill

set controls next to bed

took off nail polish

set clothing out for tomorrow.

 

Now i just need to find some slip on shoes,

though i may just wear my crocs tomorrow!

 

=)

 

Taking a nap now.

Tan ya, Is this the whole pre op diet you had to do? The two days before surgery? Just wondering. I know a lot of doctors are different in what they require. My doctor has me on liquids for a week until surgery! It sucks! lol. Well good luck!!! Let me know how it goes for you!! :)
