Cedarstar - How was your pre op? Pre op deit tomorrow!!
on 8/22/11 7:05 am
It goes by fast- it really does- i still can't believe it! I am excited for you starting your pre op diet tomorrow.
A few times i added diet jello into the vanilla slimtime (or whatever the shakes are called now!). I am not sure how much water you are supposed to add, but i added over two cups- to make it last longer.
I am happy it is summer and vegetables are good right now. Have been enjoying eating cucumbers and tomatoes out of my garden. ok, would have liked some salt/pepper, salad dressing and feta to go with it- but plain was ok. It's only temporary. And for a good reason- hope my liver shrunk like it was supposed to.
My pre-op went well. My main question to Dr Young was " have there been any deaths here from the RNY?" He said no and that out of all surgeries for both the VSG and RNY there have only been 2 people ever had to go back in for a 2nd surgery. I feel much better now.
I have been getting nervous but that is a natural feeling. My pre-op took 2 hours. I had to wait the longest for the blood test. I even lost another 3lbs. 
After today I may have regained it. lol
I am now ready for the 2 week diet! I took my 2 youngest out for supper yesterday and had a juicy steak and garlic shrimp. Today I had a swiss mushroom angus burger and supersized fries at McDonald's and then went out for Chinese with my oldest. I then left the city with an Ice Cap! I'm stuffed. I will however finish the day with a Pina Cola Mud Shake that I found while cleaning out the fridge. I am sure I will pay for all this junk tomorrow but it was worth it! 
After supper I went shopping and bought myself some healthy veggies. I will have to get creative. Are you sure we can't have salt/pepper? I haven't seen that anywhere in the book. I have only read where it says you can season with spices, etc. I will read more later. I also bought a snow cone maker so I think I will be eating lots of "gourmet" ice.
I will certainly be praying for you as you go through your surgery tomorrow. I will think of you as I take my first sip and until we hear from you when you are up to it.
