I am on my 7th day post-op.  The surgery went "boring" according to the surgeon, which is his way of saying it went flawlessly.  Maybe he was hoping for something strange and abnormal, but I like my surgeries like i like my airplane flights, boring as hell and uneventful.  Recovery is going well too. 

I'm getting a bit stir crazy being forced to stay home for a week.  They said once I'm off my narcotics, I can drive again, which was 3 days ago, but they still don't want me back to work yet.  Should be next week.

The liquid diet post-op is getting super boring, but I'm sticking to it.  I think I'm averaging 550 kcal per day since surgery day.  Can't wait til purees this week, I've been prepping a bunch then vacuum sealing them in advance.  I have a ton of veggies, low fat meats and fruits blended up and ready.

I cannot wait until I get the go-ahead to exercise, I'm ready to do this.

💎Happy Surgery Day! Safe Journey!💎

Tomorrow is surgery day...  I'm not sure if I'm nervous, anxious, excited or a little bit of all three.  I honestly thought I would be freaking out at this point, but I'm much calmer than that.  I suppose the last 7 months of preparation both physically and mentally has brought me some peace.  I say this now, but when I try to sleep tonight, that may be a different story.  

I appreciate everything I've read on this forum that has helped me to prepare as much as possible.  I know this part of my journey may not be the same as someone else's, but having a good frame of reference helps a ton. 

The most exciting and most difficult part of the journey begins tomorrow...

Going to my 2nd of 6 NUT appointments this week.  I'm worried that I'm losing too much weight too quickly that I might get disqualified from surgery if I keep this pace.  At the same time, I'm using this logic to behave badly with food.  I'm logging all my meals as I'm required to do for the 6 months, but I think I have a lot of new questions for the nutritionist...
