Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-)

Blessings,

Chris

Lol if after all of this is over and whenever I am able to eat regular foods again, if I have a protein shake ever again it will be too soon.

And the print on the package says "great taste!" Yeah ok.

I cheated yesterday and had a couple bites of spaghetti. I had such a bad headache I was just trying to find the source and get rid of it.

Today is better, no headache yet. More optimistic about it, I just wake up like what should I have today? Realize I can't eat anything, and settle on setting up a different shake. That part sucks but other than that it's going ok. Less than 2 weeks now!

Well my shakes are terrible anyways, others have some that are bearable.

Also the hunger kind of goes away after a while, the first 2 days are the hardest but this morning it's been a lot better. Putting random things in my shakes to make them better (oatmeal, fruit, pudding mix)

And from what others have said it is worth it for the end result so I have just been reminding myself that in a year from now ill look back and laugh at what a baby I was about it lol
