This time next week I will be sleeved. I am so excited that this liquid diet is not phasing me a bit. I am not much of a "sweets eater" so the broth is a nice treat. Honestly there have been a couple of times that I came close to cheating..but haven't done it yet! The daytime is not hard at all, but around 6:00pm I get a little cranky and tired. Then, before you know it I feel like my old self again! I haven't had a diet coke in 5 days, don't miss them either, which is strange since I drank at least 3 Rt.44's from Sonic per day. Now I get water and add crystal light. I feel great and know this is the best thing for me! Can't wait til March 23!

I was soooo excited the last few days before surgery! Ok. Except when I was saying goodbye to favorite foods : ) I really miss my diet coke or diet rootbeer in the afternoons. That was my thing to get thru the rest of the workday. I did try leaving a diet coke out so it was mostly flat. I had a couple of sips but it really didn't taste the same.

I have found peach tea (warm or cold) to be the most soothing and comforting, especially if my tummy is a little upset. I really didnt care for peach before the surgery. Kinda odd.

Are you traveling for surgery or staying local? The first couple of days after surgery night be a little uncomfortable or tiring, but you will be so happy afterwards!
