The Day Before
Where do I start? Well I guess the 2 day liquid diet.
According to Dr Hoehn I have to be on a two day liquid diet... well I have accomplished that so for except for yesterday we celebrated my sons 4th birthday
. Hmm a little cake and ice cream wont hurt.... (of course I asked Dr Hoehn on Monday about having a little and he told me sure) Well thats what I had a little cake and a little ice cream, the first sugar I had eaten in over a week. Can you say sugar rush!
That brings me to the week before. And the last supper syndrome. All week long starting on Monday(due to a family reunion on the weekend) I drank 2 protein shakes a day and had one sensible meal all protein based. I mostly went to Chipotle all week and ordered a burrito bowl with no rice..Only black beans, chicken and cheese one day I added some guacamole. One day I skipped Chipotle and at a couple hard boiled eggs and sting cheese. Then came Friday my last day of solids for a while. I had a protein shake for breakfast, lunch consisted of a house salad with bleu cheese, a half of a grilled chicken breast with montaray jack cheese, and 2 jalapeno poppers( Which tore my stomach up so bad because they were fried) Dinner consisted of a foot long crab salad sandwich. If you ask me I didn't do too bad. The two protein shake and one meal was my idea and not Dr Hoehns so I feel better that I can succeed after surgery.
As for the rest of the day yesterday I was surrounded by pizza and other junk food but never once gave in to those temptations. I have had chicken broth, vegetable broth, sugar free Jello, 1 protein shake, and water yesterday .
Today I have had Crystal Light, chicken broth and Jello. Its 1:30 pm and I have to drink the Magnesium Citrate before 4 pm.
I have a slight headache but I don't know if I should take Tylenol for it. So I will just settle for now.
I would like to thank all of you that have helped me through now. I was ready to give up, but because of all of you I have stayed the course and will reach my first goal of actually having surgery. I can't wait to share all of my future accomplished goals with you.
Thanks again
I like my last comment in my post so much last time I decided to make it my quote and will be adding it to my sig line.

Good luck! Here's to "half" the man to come and fun that comes with it! I'm 6 days past surgery and looking forward to the good times mentioned in your signature, too. Thanks for the "pick me up," I needed one today.

Prayers go out to you for tomorrow! BIG DAY! HUGE. You will (hopefully and everyone is different of course) not regret the decision. But please please please stick to the exact diet your doctor gives you after surgery. Trust me, the "little" bit of cake and ice cream before the surgery is nothing compared to what would happen if you ate that same little bit after the surgery. Good luck to you!
