1 Day To Go

One more day to go…actually I have 19 hours 4 minutes and 29 seconds left. I am surprisingly not worried…probably the calm before the storm. I consider myself lucky. I didn’t have to go on the Optifast meal plan for two weeks like most of my doctor’s patients. I only had to do the liquid diet thing for two days. Yesterday was hard because it was the super bowl. My husband made pizza for himself and the kids while I had a delicious bowl of hot beef broth…yum…not! I am sooo hungry right now. The one thing I didn’t get a chance to eat was a doughnut…I really want a dozen hot krispy kreme doughnuts!!!!!!! SOOOOOO HUNGRY!!!!!! :banghead:

I just got sleeved on the 31st of January and let me tell you how horrible the day before surgery liquid diet was for me. I literally wanted to beat people up for their food haha. And as Im laying on the OR about to be put under I think to myself '**** i didnt eat this, this, or this before this surgery.' Im glad I wasnt alone in my thoughts. I was worried a few months before the surgery but I slept like a baby the night before and honestly wanted to sleep while they were prepping me for the surgery.

You will do amazing and when you wake up it will all be with a sigh of relief. The liquids phase for the first week has necessarily been a breeze because, like you, I see other people eating food while Im stuck with broth. However, it'll pay off and day by day and week by week it will get better. Be so completely proud of yourself and make sure to remind yourself how wonderful you are while laying on the OR table. The best wishes for a speedy recovery [:

good luck! There's plenty of room on the losers bench! :) Things are so much different on the other side - while the diet is pretty much the same for the first week post op, its actually quite satisfying because you're not really hungry. What hunger you do have, the broth completely takes care of. Good luck and let us know how it all goes!
