Sabrina had her surgery today. Hope all went well and on the road to recovery.

I bought some back in the US, but brought it with me. I have been having to use it the past couple of days on my pre-op diet. Things were slow moving after the liquid diet landed me in the hospital. My body is all screwed up. lol Miralax is nice because it's not a laxative, per se. It just soften things up. No cramps or RUNNING to the bathroom.

The Good;

FINALLY found a protein drink that I can get down.   Isopure plus - its a fruit kind of drink...   has 15 g of protein ( no sugar - you have to make sure you get the "plus" one - its sugar free.)..  but I can easily get in 2  a day.

The Bad:

I am about 3 weeks out.. and I am tired.. went for a hike yesterday and think I might have over done it.   My side is killing me... 

The Ugly: 

Still have not found a protein powder non flavored that does not cost 60 bucks... really afraid to buy it because what if I hate it...  already have two in cupboard that I cannot get down...

oh..  and somehow my daughter came home with sparkly glue in her hair... and that was after the school washed it out....  (as another student applied the glue - outside at recess)... she has very long hair... still getting to the bottom of this one...lol.. 

Happy thoughts, prayers and well wishes to these fine ladies going into surgery today, mommaove3, Mandy, Careuh and Michelle

Thanks, I do need to confess to someone:

I'm on my pre-op diet and keep cheating. I'm still losing weight but am disappointed that I caved in to temptation. Makes me wonder if I am really a good candidate. I'm determined to do better today.

Tomorrow is clear liquids all day in preparation for my surgery on Wednesday. That diet I MUST stick to or I won't be able to get the surgery.

I picked up sugar free fruit pops for tomorrow. Had one today to try them out and they are very good. I may eat the whole box tomorrow!!

How are feeling 5 days out? What has been your biggest struggle so far?
