THIS FRIDAY!

[Dajones 46]

I report to the hospital this Friday at 6:30 and am scheduled for VSG at 7:30am! I've been on a clear liquid diet since pre-op last Friday. I'm so weak, shaky and light-headed from the clear liquids! I was told emphatically that I have to get 60 grams of Protein per day but there's no way on a clear liquid diet! I've been drinking Ensure Clear Protein Drinks and drinking various kinds of broth, but there's no way I'm getting 60 grams, maybe 30. And, all this, pre-op is without intake amount restriction. Next week, post-op, it's still clear liquid AND I'll be limited to what my new tummy can hold. Other than that, I'm nervous and excited! Between the surgeon, the nutritionist and the various nurses, they've all scared me to death! I'm really healthy though which is in my favor going into this. My blood pressure is low to normal, my cholesterol is low to normal, blood sugar normal, etc... but I'm still nervous. From my weigh in, bloodwork, EKG, etc... last Friday, and this morning, I'm already down 11 pounds! I feel it though...

I'm just starting my pre-op diet tomorrow and am a little nervous about it. I've bought pretty much everything I need to start off. I don't know about you but I just wish it would be my surgery day! I tend to be impatient about these things and I just want to get it over with so I can start adjusting to my new lifestyle.

I wish you lots of luck this Friday and I hope all goes well for you! ????
