Day 1

Today is the first day of my pre-op diet. Needless to say I am starving!! To top it all off I have a wedding to go to at 3. I'm praying that The Lord gives me the strength to stay on my plan.

    I'm pretty swollen too - tho it is now swollen in lumps around the incisions vs uniformly swollen.

    Has anyone been able to sleep more than 4 hours straight??? I want to get a full 8 hours!!!

    My sleep has been intermittent all night. The most I am sleeping is 3 hours at a time. I agree, 8 hours straight would be awesome!

    I've been on 3 hr intervals. Thank goodness for DVR service, bc there's not much to watch in the middle of the night.
