Oh My God It's Going To Happen!!!



Recommended Posts

I am shocked. Totally shocked. I am finally going to have my surgery! I had an appointment with my surgeon today and I have finally lost enough weight that we are going to proceed. So next Monday morning, bright and early, I'm hauling my tushie down to the hospital and banding up!!!

I was so nervous about the appointment I didn't let myself think about the reality of the surgery! So now it's hitting me all at once. But I am super duper pooper scooper excited. I'm going to spend the weekend stocking up on liquids and trying to get mentally prepared. Does anyone have any good advice for the last 4 days before I take the plunge?

I am so stinkin excited. Can I say that one more time? I know reality will set in soon and it won't be all fun and games, but DANG I'm enjoying feeling good about it right now.

Ok, so two random thoughts...

Random #1 - I read the best quote the other day on Puddin Pie's blog. It said "Where am I going and why am I in this handbasket?" Is that not HYSTERICAL?! That is such an apt description of my life sometimes..

Random #2 - I read something earlier DeLarla posted about marshmallows and Ritz crackers and I had to laugh because I grew up eating something similar. My mom would take a saltine, put a slice of cheddar cheese on it and a marshmallow on top and put it in the microwave for a few seconds to let everything melt together. She calls them "Poor Boy Cookies" Her mom made them for her when she was growing up. Sounds weird, I know! But it is the best combination of salty/sweet, chewy/crunchy, savory all at the same time. IT WORKS TOGETHER!

Ok, I will stop my ramblin now. Just had to share the good news. Yay for me! :clap2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
