So everything is all set. Surgery is paid for (well I have the cash so to speak) The flights are booked and in 14 days I'll be in Puerto Vallarta and in 16 days I will have my sleeve. My husband keeps asking me if I'm excited. I'm not sure how I feel. All of a sudden time is moving so quickly. I will say I am not excited about the two week liquid pre-op diet. Yuck. Although I finally found 2 protein drinks I can drink without gagging. PVL mango peach cooler and PVL peanut butter chocolate shake. The shake is kinda sweet but its good if its really cold. I also made jello with the cooler in it and its pretty good. I suck at following strict diets but I guess if I want this surgery I'm gonna have to suck it up for at least the next 5 weeks. Then mushies Mmmmm (yuck) I think I will live on cream of wheat, yogurt, apple sauce, jello, and mashed potatoes. Pureed meat just sounds disgusting. I'm pretty nervous about surgery not because of where it is but because there are things that can go wrong with any surgery and I'll admit I'm a bit of a wuss. I have a bad shoulder and back and I am more terrified of the pain caused by the build up of gas than anything else. Okay enough of that. Time to think positive I'm gonna be one of those people that are out shopping as soon as they're release from the hospital. positive attitude is half the battle right. So I can't believe I'm actually gonna do this but here is my absolutely awful before pic. NO prettying it up. Be Kind.
