Thank you for your very vivid, but amusing post. The constant whining on here lately has been a real downer. It helps to have a sense of humor about all this. I personally think there must be something in the port that smells like fish. My cat has been extra attentive lately as well.
First of all you are not alone in your journey.. People are always here for you. They are just a computer away.. You will be able to build several relationships with individuals who understand exactly what you are doing. Just remember that you are doing this to be healthy!!
I am on a four week preop diet. I am able to have Protein shakes for Breakfast and lunch and a low carb dinner. I haven't been the best but I am trying really hard.. It sucks since I am at work during all this and everyone wants to bring you candy and crap..
