Yay for Sobe!

In my quest for new products I have found one that I really, really like.  It is a flavored water by SoBe.  The flavor is Fuji apple pear.  And it really tastes like watered down apple juice.  It is nummy!  It has 0 calories and a few vitamins...but it isn't a vitamin water per se.

This week has been interesting.  For the most part...I've followed the preop diet.  I was able to give up my Mt Dew cold turkey.  However I slipped and bought a coke one day just out of habit (and yes I did drink it).  Had a VERY stressful weekend and would have loved an alcoholic drink but I passed on it.  I suspect I'll see a couple pound loss this week but we'll see.

I did go shopping this week.  Found liquid calcium citrate.  Tried another protein drink (this one is green and a little more like a drink than a shake...still not sure I'm sold on it).  Bought some EAS Advantage to try.  Bought some slipper socks, a new nightshirt, a short extension cord (for computer/phone at the hospital because my cord won't be long enough), and some smell good goodies from Bath and Body works.  Also bought juices and waters for the upcoming liquid diet.  (NOT looking forward to this phase.)

On a different note, met with my counselor this week.  She told me that anesthesia has been shown to cause depression in those people already prone to depression.  And that it is temporary.  She said it'll last 3-4 weeks or however long it takes for the anesthesia to completely leave my body.  She just wanted me to be aware and to be thinking ahead of time about what things replenish me...so I could be ready.  Oh joy. 

That's it for today.  Will check in Tuesday with a 1 week preop weigh in.  Hard to believe only about a week to go!
