14 days to go....

[blashlee 509]

I'm 14 days pre-op and started my liquid diet today. I hope the next two weeks goes by incredibly fast. I'm pretty nervous but also excited. My "support staff" (family, boyfriend, friends, personal trainer, surgeon, PCP) are all rooting for me, and it's helping me get through each day of the countdown. My boyfriend is doing the liquid diet with me (solidarity!), I hope we don't spend the next two weeks snapping at each other because we are "hangry" haha.

April 6, 2015 8AM, my life changes forever for the better!

If you need me, I'll be crying in the break room with a Jello cup (LOL)

Thanks, that's the plan. I'm going to run errands on lunch so I don't have to see/smell foods. I cleaned out my fridge yesterday and took everything I can't have over to my parents' so it wouldn't be wasted. I'm sipping chicken broth and Water, I've already had one Protein shake and have two more for the rest of my work shift. Pffffft, mind over matter, right? LOL

Hi Ashlee! I look forward to meeting you this week at the support group and finding out how you're doing on day 3 of the liquid diet. I'm afraid that the liquid diet is going to be tough for me, so I can't wait to find out how it's working for you. I'm hoping the next two weeks go by fast for you too.

It looks like I'm almost exactly one month behind you. My surgery is scheduled for May 7th!!

Day one was horrible. I had headaches and zero energy and went to bed early.

Day two was better, I even went for a run yesterday evening.

Today is day 3. Just counting them down...

[meSparkle83 153]
