 hi Nancy
wow, congratulations on this begining!!! yay.

i am having my surgery on the 8th and just wanted to know what you were doing to prepare? I am not on a liquid diet yet, just need to be on it 2 days before...ahhh.

what are you eating? are you exhausted?

To prepare I am mainly just trying some of the different protein powders and drinks to see what I like and what I don't like.  I know my tastes will change but I am hoping that the ones I find Iike now I will continue to like.  I have yet to attend a support group meeting and I feel this is the biggest thing I need to do prior to this surgery.  I am getting the house ready for my weeks of no lifting and I am cleaning my closet of things that are currently a bit to big.  I will never wear those clothes again so out they go.

The first day of the liquid diet was a bit rough.  I did not feel hungry at all.  The hardest part is the feeling of needing to put something in my mouth and chew.  I have SF gum in desk at work and chewed on that for the satifsfaction.  I am counting yesterday as the day that my eating habits really changed and I am starting my new life.
