One Week Until...

Today officially marks one week until my surgery.

 

I did all of my pre-op testing this morning and barring some bizarre result will be in the OR bright an early on Jan. 31st.

 

Today I also started my all liquid diet to shink my liver before surgery. So far so good, but its only been six hours :D I'm really gung-ho about it all right now and I just hope my resolve doesn't fail me too soon.

 

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm excited to finally be starting on a life journey to being healthy along with a crutch to help me get through the first few months of change. I keep visualizing all the things that I will be able to do soon that I've always wanted to, but never been able to because I was too heavy. I'm nervous because I worry that, at least for awhile, I will be so sick (pain etc.) and weak that I won't be able to do anything at all. I also worry that I won't be able to change my eating habits for good and this will all be for naught. I'm both scared and hopeful to see what the next few weeks will bring.

Very exciting times ahead. I'm on the other side and things do get easier. Be sure to take those vitamins and get moving as soon as you can. I walked all night the night of my surgery. As for the liquid diet, try to mix it up and do just a cup of broth. It breaks up the taste buds so delightfully. My doctor allowed for one protein bar instead of a shake each day and that helped to. I missed chewing. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Thanks Laurelita!

I'm mixing things up with some juice (mostly V8), broth, and some very very overcooked and diluted oatmeal. That helps alot. I'm also already on the chewable vitamins, so at least I get to chew something each day!

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
