Loved this! Thank you for sharing it! Boy....I have had the same thoughts about so many of the same things!

OMGoooodness...I've been craving Spam too (bowing my head in shame) lol So glad I'm not alone! My surgery is right around the corner too! We can do this!

Sending love and light!

I just finished Week 1 with one more week to go before surgery. I have heard that after surgery you won't even want food for a few days.....so.....I just keep thinking about that every time I think I am going to lose my mind. lol

So proud of you!!!!!

DeShawn, I have been experiencing terrible headaches as well. They subsided on Day 2 and now Day 4 I have another one. I am hopeful tomorrow will be much better! From the other posts I have read regarding Pre-Op Diets - I have learned that there seems to be different diet instruction, depending on the surgeon. Mine instructions are similar to yours however - I am allowed 3 ounces of Protein, unlimited vegetables and 1/2 cup starch for dinner. I also use Metamucil. One things I know that assists with the discomfort of this diet is doubling (or sometimes tripling) my Water intake.....when I do, it is very noticeable. Hope this may help you - even in some small way. Blessings, Lisa

Sounds WONDERFUL!

I'm on day three and hanging in there! YOU can DO THIS! (and our surgeries are on the same day! - YAY US!) Thank you for the tips pgkpjs!

Does your surgeon offer BLIS? I purchased BLIS for an additional $1,500 and it covers all surgery revisions, port flips, etc. Perhaps something to look in to?

This was beautifully written and I felt as if you were speaking while looking into my own soul - thank you so much for sharing your amazing words! And from one positive psychology based book author to another....I wish you much success on your journey! Namaste' - Lisa Hardwick

YAY for YOU!!! And hey.....TOOT that horn all you want!! I love hearing it! lol

awww my friend - I have been thinking about you!! I've been reading lots of posts and I read that many people are going through/have gone through exactly what you are experiencing. Bless your heart! I've also read that each day gets better - most have said day 3-4 they start feeling more normal. PLEASE let us all know tomorrow how you are doing! We are here for you!!
