Woo hoo got a date!

I completed my first day of the pre op diet and survived. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. Only 13 more days to go!

My surgery is scheduled for November 19. I started by pre-op diet November 12. It seems my diet is quite forgiving. Unlimited raw and steamed veggies, 3-4 Protein Shakes, unlimited SF popsicles, SF Jello, broth, Decaf coffee and tea, Crystal Light, water; no more than 6 of the following: 1 cup low-fat or skim milk, 1 cup V-8 or Tomato juice (no V-8 Splash regular or diet), 1/2 cup plain oatmeal, plain grits, Cream if Wheat, Cream of Rice (can use cinnamon), 4 oz. sugar free pudding, 6 oz. light yogurt or light Greek yogurt (with no fruit pieces), 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (any flavor). Last 2 days: no applesauce or veggies. Last day: Water, crystal light, apple juice, white grape juice, white cranberry juice, broth (chicken, veggie, beef), Gatorade, SF jello, SF Popsicles, decaf coffee, decaf tea. Can use sweetener but no sugar.

Pre-test November 12. Received a call the following day asking was I sure I'd never had a blood transfusion and was I sure I'd never been pregnant. WTW?? Haven't heard from them since. Super excited and grateful for my support circle! Packing bag over the weekend. YAY!
