1 day before surgery

My surgery is tomorrow. The nurse at the Dr. office spoke to me last Friday when I finally got the letter from my Oncologist that he has released me for the surgery. I was having a very very hard time on the self induced liquid diet.

Just as a standard script she goes "remember to keep eating low carb, then on Sunday night no more red meat, and no food after midnight before the surgery."

That was a LOT less restrictive that I was trying to be. I didn't last on the self induced liquid diet, however I did have a liquid breakfast or lunch since I started the liquid phase. I stayed low carb all the way until today and I have been 100% liquids today, even though it is not a requirement.

I am very nervous and excited at the same time. I was fine all day up until about 15 minutes ago when I was setting my "Out of Office" on voice and e-mail.

I have been browsing the "Before and After Pics" today. It is such an inspiration to see peoples results. I have lost 12 lbs. since my first Dr. visit according to my home scales. Tomorrow I will get the "official" number at the Pre-Op.

I have to be there at 7am, which means that my mom and I will leave my house at 6:30am. I pretty much think that I have everything ready. I shopped early for foods and items that I would need.

I think I am off to have chinese hot n' sour and egg drop (the liquid part only) for dinner tonight!

My thoughts are with you. You are about to begin a brand new life - well sorta, you know what I mean. I'm 2 weeks out myself and I remember the night before like it was yesterday. Can't wait to hear from you after your surgery!

thank you! =) I'm doing great!
