A week away

One week from today I will have had my surgery. I'm excited, not really worried, scared or nervous yet. I am on day 5 of my protein shakes and I am amazed how easy this has been for me. My husband always said I am the most stubborn woman he has ever met, and once I set my mind to something I can do it. There must be just a little bit of truth in that.

Not so bad after all

Saturday I started my 4 protein shakes a day plus 64 oz of clear fluid. Not bad, not bad at all. I really am not hungry. The hardest part for me is getting in the 64 oz on top of the 32 oz in the shakes. That's hard. But I surprised myself and did it both days over the weekend. I am allowed various veggies, up to 2 cups per day. Yesterday I had 1 c of strawberries with my lunch. Today I'm having cucumbers. But I can honestly say I'm not hungry at all. We took lots of before pics over the weekend I just have to find the time to get them posted.

Today is 9 days to go.

Finally a Date!!!!

OK OK I know it's been forever since I posted anything. I'm sorry about that but I've been really busy lately at work and with Dr. appointments. I did however get my date, May 6 is the scheduled big day!!!!! I am really looking forward to this, I am more anxious that afraid. I just figure what ever will be will be. I don't think God would let me come all this way to not have me succeed. Besides I have an angel on my shoulder..... my Mom. She is going along for the ride of a lifetime with me. She was always terrified of flying so I guess I'll stay firmly planted on the ground for at the next year or so.

I had my pre-op visit yesterday, blood work and I start my 4 protein shakes a day on Saturday 4/25. I'll keep you posted as to how I'm doing. I did get before pics taken and I plan to have them up here very soon.

Let the countdown begin!!!!
