T minus 2 days...
Well, I am two days out. Tomorrow I fly to San Diego then drive to Mexicali for my DS with Dr. Ungson on Wednesday.
I’m happy we decided to simplify everything and not combine it with a vacation. The low carb diet for the last month has not been too bad, but this 5 day liquid diet has thrown me off. This diet is chamomile tea, broth, sugar free Jell-O and a cup or two of kefir. For those of you whom have had colonoscopies -- you know that moment during the prep when you say to yourself “There has to be a better way. Did all of this need to happen in an hours’ time span?” Well, I think five day liquid pre-surgery diet is the slower way I was thinking about and it sucks worse. Next time I will just be thankful for the big miracle of the pre-colonoscopy drink.
Typically I get about 80% organized early and then go back and a last pass towards the end of a project. This strategy has not worked so well this time because I don’t have my brain right now. It checked out after getting some GRAPE JUICE!!! Carbs!! SUGUAR!! WOOOOOO HoooOOOOOoo, this morning. Three weeks of less than 20 carbs a day and suddenly 8 oz of grape juice, which is 42 g carbs. I feel drunk.
Advice #1: Get organized to the point of having your bags semi packed before the 5 day liquid diet.
I had planned to write about the last month of prep and share my to-do lists, but again, no brain. At least I am also feeling too stoned to get nervous. :-)
Oh, I hated the bowel prep! Wishing you all kinds of good luck. : )
