ymmv

So I am now 3 days post op. I had a moment yesterday, while in pain, asking why I did this to myself but today is better. My fluid intake is good and I got to go from clear liquid to full liquid today. I think the additions of soups and yogurt and the like will make it easier for me to handle the next 11 days before moving to pureed foods.

Sitting in preop triage right now. Hooked up to all the goodies, just hanging out waiting. IV in, heparin given (ouch that burned) and now I wait.

So I am sitting here on the 7th day of my pre-op 2 weeks liquid only diet feeling sorry for myself. I am almost asking myself why I am doing this to myself. I am glad I am doing it, I know I am doing it for my health and all the right reasons, but I am just exhausted watching everyone else enjoy food, and me sitting here, almost preferring no food to one more stupid shake. I know I cannot be the only one feeling this way right now. I am just so overwhelmed with everything.

I have had 80+ g of protein at this point lol

I am into day 1, and I think I underestimated how tired I would feel! I am a hair stylist so I'm working busy busy on my feet. I've had a premiere protein chocolate shake, water, some sf jello, a syntrax nectar shake, and now I'm drinking water with mio flavor with b vitamins hoping it will give me a boost. I'm emotional. I'm shaking and I'm sluggish. I know the first few days are the hardest but geez. I just wanna crawl in a hole and cry. I'm not hungry, I just feel like junk.

I start my 2 week preop diet tomorrow. I get protein shakes and clear liquids. I am not 100% sure how I feel about it all right now but I know tomorrow I am going to be feeling some kind of way. I am a hairstylist and on my feet for 8 hours a day so I worry about how much energy I will have.

"You're not even fat." "Why would you do that to yourself?" You can do it without it, just: don't eat after x; walk more; take x..." clearly none of that worked

April 5. I have my preop at the hospital the 27th! Doesn't seem real yet.
