Yesterday was my pre-op visit. 7:30am - 4:00pm. What a long day!! Met with my patient advisor, paid my deductible, met with the exercise physiologist (can't spell at all -sorry), finally met with my surgeon! Had a 3 hour seminar with the nutritionist. That was informative but there were a few people in the class that kept asking the same questions over & over. Damn, I hate that! But there's always one or two in every group! Maybe if they were paying attention... The office gave me Calcium supplements, Iron & Vitamin C and Multivitamins plus a sample of their protein powder. The protein powder was decent so I bought some more. Lord knows I'm going to be drinking a lot of it post op! My dr's orders are: clear liquids only day of surgery then day 2 after the barium scan, just liquids for the next week. Week 2 we're onto purreed foods. Yum yum... I'm much less nervous about what I'm going to go through now. I'm not liking the 5:30am arrival time for the hospital on Monday, but oh well. Better to be first than last, I guess
