I had my preop class 4hrs and preop visit with surgeon immediately afterwards today. Exactly what Big_ange said. Questions answered. Once again review preop and post OP expectations and medicines. Discuss surgery day and what to expect. Discuss pain management both meds and alternatives. I'd done labs, xrays and ekg a month ago, just reviewed it again. No preop diet for my surgical team. Exactly 14 more days to go. [emoji114][emoji114][emoji114][emoji114][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169][emoji169]

Cardio done: Completed 60 mins of spin class!! Thanks to this challenge I went back to gym after having not returned since family got back from vacation[emoji4][emoji4]

****protein, not "protection" shakes.

I had my preop class and my surgeon does not require any preop "liver shrinking diet"! I was shocked and I definitely asked why and their answer was "it doesn't change or affect outcome"[emoji848][emoji848] So no preop diet, a light breakfast the day before and then clear liquids until midnight and then water up until 2 hrs before surgery [emoji50] Luckily all my anticipated preop prep groceries were still in my Amazon cart ready to buy. Also, they didn't emphasize protection shakes, drinks etc. They want real food except if meal replacements are ABSOLUTELY necessary depending on how one tolerates food.....uhmmmm...

Hello August!!! Today is my husband's birthday, father's birthday and preop class. I did wake up 30 mins early because I was looking forward to the day. As much research as I've done, going through the class solidified the realness of this surgery and subsequent lifestyle change for me. I desperately want to succeed so I'm anxious and the 30 mins early awakening helped me practice some mindfulness meditation and reframing. Side B: I'm definitely a night owl! Definitely!

I'm currently at my Pre-OP class!!! Things are getting real!!!![emoji109][emoji109]
