3 Days to Go!

I am so ready to get this done!!!! Eight days on this clear liquid diet has got me grumpy! I am staring down people who are eating, and daring anyone to talk about food around me. It doesn't help that I am about to start my monthly probably on the day of surgery. On the positive side I have lost 11 pounds in 8 days of eating nothing. I say nothing because the protein shakes and clear liquids are not food. It is just enough to keep you hydrated and to keep you from dying. Dori has been swimming around my head singing, "just keep swimming, just keep swimming!!" My other issue is that I live in AZ and it is massive allergy season right now. I have been having a sore throat and was concerned I was getting sick. I tried using Zicam spray and it caused a rash on the roof of my mouth. It turns out the soreness is just from allergies but now have a canker sore and a red roof of my mouth. If they cancel my surgery I will take someone out. I am sorry to be so grumpy but I am so frustrated and just want to get these feelings out so I don't cry. I think post op will be a piece of cake compared to this. Okay done with my rant. Can't wait for Tuesday to come and go. Very confident with my surgeon choice. Happy to be taking this step for me!!!

Keep your head up! You will do great and once you see that weight coming off and health improving that liquid diet means nothing! I thought of it as I am getting a second chance at life. That will get you through the pre op and post op diet! Good luck and you will do great!
