7 more sleeps!

It's getting SO close! 

I finished my first week of preop diet and lost 2 pounds.  My starting weight (according to my scale) was 318.2...now down to 316.2.  

Started week two of preop diet today.  Only fluids this week.  It's day one and I am STARVING.  Not sure how I'm going to make it for a whole week.

I was sitting watching TV last night when my phone rang.  I was surprised to hear it was my surgeon!  It was nice putting a voice to a name.  I asked about procedures for blood clots and also about my hernia possibly getting in the way.  He assured me he had it under control.  I felt better after I got off the phone. 

Stopped by GNC today and picked up a couple ISOPURE's to try.  I'm hoping maybe they will be better than some of the other protein options.  I tried a RTD chocolate flavor today and mixed in a couple teaspoons of PB2 powder in it.  I was able to drink about half before I couldn't drink any more.  This afternoon I tried Unjury's Chicken Broth protein.  At first I thought it tasted ok but I could only finish about half before I was gagging on it.  I think it's mostly in my brain at this point.  Ugh...going to be a long few weeks trying to get back to solid foods so I can get most my protein from food and not these nasty drinks.   Will continue trying out different samples in hopes I'll find one I at least like.

On a totally different note - we had water damage to our house on Friday evening.  They will be tearing out carpeting in 3 rooms as well as cutting up drywall in those three rooms.  This is going to be one LONG week and it'll be chaos to come home to after surgery.  But I'm not changing my plans at this point.  Full speed ahead.
