The nurses from the hospital just called to do my pre-registration. They told me where to go, what to bring, reiterated my pre-op diet of clears the day before and nothing past midnight, went over my meds, and had me pay my Tricare Standard copayment for the surgery - a whopping total of $18! W00t!!! Lol!

It feels so real now! And it's so close. 5 more days!!!!

To be honest, I'm getting a little nervous...just a little.

Thank y'all so much! I hope it's motivating and it helps to share - keeps me accountable!

A little nausea this evening - I think I just got too hot under my heated blanket. I had been prescribed reglan for nausea so I took one and it went away. Other than that, doing great! Still at 45g of Protein for now. liquids totaled 50 oz across the board with 23 coming from Water. I love my water bottle - it is a godsend now that I have to legit keep up with my water intake!

About to call it a night and get some sleep!

Thanks again for all your support!!! :-)

I'm glad that you are doing well and are able to get in your fluids and protein - I know you wanted to get a little more protein in, have you tried the isopure protein drinks? They are fruit flavored and have 40 G protein per bottle - I actually stocked up on them and intend on living on them and broth my first week

Hi! Thank you! I have two of those. I tried one before surgery and it was pretty gross. I think I'm just going to keep it at 45g for now. At least until the end of the first 14days. When I talked to my dietician she was surprised I was getting that much in! If I change my mind I might drink some of it just to put me at 50g.

Which flavors do you like? Maybe I bought the worst ones lol

@@prettyCali916, Congratulations on your surgery! I see you're in the Bay Area, if you're in the East Bay, the support group at JMMC in Concord is next Saturday (13th) at 10AM. It's a super group, we'd love to have you join us!

Aw! Thank you! I'd love to join - I'm actually in Sacramento which is quite I drive. I did have surgery in San Francisco though just because of the amazing dr I wanted. I might try to come once ore twice though!

Your updates are great. It really helps knowing what to expect. Congratulations!

So what I have found is that they taste so much better over lots of ice ????

The alpine punch, grape, blue and lemon are the only ones that I have and they aren't bad - I heard coconut is tasty, coconut is gross to me so I can't vouch for that flavor ????

Lol! I'll try coconut the - I love coconut! I have two bottles of the blue one.

Thank-you for sharing your experience. Your updates are great and I'm so happy you are feeling well!!! I absolutely love your water bottle...do you know where your husband purchased it?

What flavors do you have and have you tried them yet? I purchased the grape and passion fruit. I have tasted the grape and did not like it at all. I felt like my tongue was shriveling up...really weird so I have not tried any others.

Aw thanks! Glad to share!

Yes, it's by Thermos called the Thermos Smart Lid and he purchased it from Amazon. It's probably carried at large sporting food stores that carry Thermos products as well!!!

Update before bed:

51 ounces of Fluid

55g of Protein - I added a 10g Protein shake earlier

I also tried a Sf Jello cup - i guess I didn't chew it well bc it hurt going down. Clearly chew, chew, chew applies to that lol.

My SW at dr office was 288 (I thought it was 286). My surgery weight was 283.6 when I left my house that morning. My current weight is 274.6 so I'm down 9lbs since surgery. I'm officially not using my starting weight anymore, just for consistency. I'm going to use my surgery weight to track all losses from now. So yay!!! 9 lbs down!

Haha not your tongue shriveling. Yes I have tried them - I have the alpine punch, the lemon, the blue and the grape - they are not the best protein drinks out there but they definitely aren't the worst. My suggestion is to pour them over lots of ice, they need to be really cold. I like the fact that they have 40 G protein and intend on using them during my Clear Liquids stage
