One step closer
I found out about 6 weeks later they had a cancellation for Oct. 2nd- had about 3 weeks to rush thru all my pre-op tests(most in Freddy) and last Tues to meet pre-op nurse in Bathurst...started Boost last Wed - and yes, it is difficult.
Boost and water. period. Mio or crystal light - nothing else can pass your lips. If it does, your liver processes it, and it will affect how much it shrinks-if it doesnt shrink adequately, they close you up and send you home. That is what I have to think about everytime Id think about giving in to cravings like I have my whole life. If I cant follow instructions for two weeks, they wont risk the proceedure. Makes sense to me. Putting something in my mouth is not worth blowing this chance at a new life. Its not forever, its just for right now. staying in the present moment is how I am doing this - today is what matters, and the concious choice I make to stay on track...they will talk about this in the info session. Good luck, and pay attention, take lots of notes-it will be worth it, but it wont be easy.
