Pre-op Thoughts
Aug 09, 2012
So I am currently on the pre-op liquid diet with a surgery date of August 15.
Pre-admissions testing was 3hrs long and everything looked good. They took me off of my Multi-Vitamin and Fish Oil Pills due to the Vitamin E, and left me with just some Pepcid 40mg a day. To think that I will finally be getting the surgery after years of hemming and hawing over whether I should, is exciting to say the least. I brought up the idea of weight loss surgery (again) to my PCP, 5/22/12. Less then three months later I will be getting the surgery. Wow!
So back to the liquid diet: I have never been so hungry in my life!
I am drinking my protein shakes; 3 everyday, and am downing water left and right. Sometimes I use sugar free peach tea flavor packs, other times I drink the water with ice only. Even broth via buillion cubes isn't filling me up. It doesn't help that my mom (Ms. Oh So Forever Thin ) is just waltzing around eating everything and anything she wants. So much for solidarity. 
Ignoring my growling tummy is getting easier as time goes by though, and since I started the diet, I've lost three lbs so that's something I guess.
Just 5 more days to go, and then I can be hungry for another 6 weeks after that.
