Less than two weeks away! Eeekkk!!

How are y'all doing? Are you surviving on your pre-op diet? How's the mental preparation going?

I am having my sleeve surgery Aug 14. Getting so close now. I am excited, but so nervous. Any good suggestions for the next 2 weeks?

LOTS and LOTS of water has kept me feeling full. One of my friends who had the sleeve told me to take advantage of the highest calorie count your doctor will allow. She kept it on the light side and said she felt so weak going in to surgery and it made the recovery harder.

I'm trying to experiment in an effort to see what I like and to keep it a little less boring. I've ordered two sample packs of protein powders to help me figure out which one I prefer before ordering a full container. So far the Celebrate brand has been my favorite. They don't clump when you shake them and taste good mixed with water. I have Unjury too but I don't like how hard it is to shake up and it has that protein shake smell I don't like. I am trying their unflavored protein powder in jello and pudding today. My husband uses Muscle Milk and I like their taste and consistency too.

I'm allowed some veggies so I have been roasting them to give them some extra flavor. I REALLY look forward to those each day. :-)

Also try to keep your mind busy so food is you are not obsessing about food (or the lack of). Every time i start missing food I tell my self that "Food is no longer love and life. It is simply the fuel to get me through the day".
