  2. I am on day 3 of my pre-op diet, and today was the hardest for me. I think they sent all of the idiots to my phone today. I have noticed I am not as diplomatic as I should be.... (I work in customer service for a bank). I am hoping this weekend things even out, I have 11 more days!

  4. So, I am about to start my pre-op diet on Wednesday. TICK TOCK is about all I can hear at the moment! I am getting more excited, which seems a bit odd to me, because I am also nervous. I am going to be at work that day, and am just thinking of adjusting to not eating food. I get sick feeling when I am hungry, and headaches, and not to mention a royal B**ch! (I have warned my love ones) so I am curious about how I will make it through the day. I just want it to get here already, I want to be sure I have everything I need. I have two weeks pre-op all liquids, 5 shakes a day. My Dr office did say that it is ok to mix with skim milk, which I think will help a bit. Also, if I am feeling like I want FOOD that it is ok to have an extra shake or two, especially during the 1st couple of days. Which makes me feel a whole lot better about the idea of not eating something.... anything. my mind keeps racing, and all I keep thinking about is well... everything. The questions I should ask, but I don't have that many... is there something I am missing? I am planning on going to the store tomorrow to get some things to have handy for the next couple weeks, then NEXT weekend I am getting everything (I hope) that I need for post-op at the house. I was taking my daily meds this morning and realized I need to ask my Dr office what about those.... one of the pills is huge... hmmm... wonder what I need to do about that. I know that you all don't need to know all of this, but it feels good to be getting some of it out of my head and written down. Usually I am just a lurker on boards, because there is A LOT of great INFO from everyone, and that is usually enough. Anyways.... my surgery is set for the 10th of April at 9am and I am very ready! Also, I want to know how to add a space between lines when typing, like to start a new paragraph. I don't know I cant seem to find it, I like to break of my thoughts just to make it easier to read.
  5. This is my biggest fear... the pre-op diet. I will be on liquids for two weeks before (starting March 27th). Opti-fast. I am curious how I will feel, and how my blood sugars will be... guess there is only one way to find out.
