Day one - pre-op liquid diet
Well, the pre-op meeting went well. Officially I am weighing 281.2lbs.
I had my last hurrah this past weekend for Mother's Day and didn't quite have what I really wanted but as the french say "C'est la vie".
Today, I am starting the liquid protein diet. Dr. Washington told me to have 5 drinks per day, which is better than the 3 stated in the paperwork. The morning was fine and I am drinking water.
I did have one small black coffee with 1 splenda vs my usual large coffee with half and half and 5 splendas. It went ok.
I am cold though, freezing. Doesn't help that the air conditioning in the building I work in is on super high...ha ha ha...
Anyway, I hope to weigh myself at home and hope to get my measurements tonight and post it tomorrow. I hope to lose at least 20 lbs before the operation on June 9th, though Dr. Washington didn't give me a determination on how much I should be losing between now and then. I just want no complications.
Oh by the way, he is so sweet. :thumbup: I asked if I could go home that same day, since my daughter would really freak out by not being home (she did one time on a business trip) and he changed it to 7:30am vs 2:30pm. :thumbs_up:I am a happy camper!!!
See you tomorrow!
