I feel like I'm counting down to Christmas.  My surgery is on October 31 and everyone keeps asking me if I'm nervous or worried.  I don't have time!  I have so much to do before then! 

And tomorrow is going to be a busy day - I see the OT at 2:30, I go to Admitting with all of my medications, etc. at 3:00 and then I see Nooshin at 4:00!! 

I'm a little worried about seeing Nooshin because even though my clothes have been getting bigger and bigger, I don't think I've lost much weight (maybe 3-4 pounds).  At my last weigh in I'd lost a total of 21 lbs, but I'm concerned about what she will say tomorrow with such a low weight loss.  Anyway, I guess I'll find out.

I should start my liquid diet on October 17 and I see the anaesthesiologist on Oct 21.  Time is flying awfully fast!

Wish me luck tomorrow!!

I did not have any issues with not having a drink with my meals now, I really have gotten used to it over the past few months.  My meal was tiny, I put on my plate mostly turkey and then some veggies and a tiny bit of stuffing and gravy (looked like about 3/4 of a cup to 1 cup of food) I purposely put more food on my plate to not  draw attention to my portion size, but only ate about 1/2-3/4 of it. Since I had to keep getting up to help kids, it looked like I was eating for a normal length of time and then I put the rest in the garbage. Normally I would have chosen a smaller plate, but couldn't this time so I spread the food out to cover about 1/2 of the plate. I was so thankful no food got 'stuck'.
