OK...Wednesday arrived and I am so excited to be going to doc today for my first visit. Hoping to get all the preliminary stuff out of the way. I have a dear friend going with me, hubby is working out of town, just before friend arrives, I get a call that my Grandma has died and I need to get from Texas to Virginia asap. Well, I decided to keep appointment and get all of that out of the way and then go to Virginia. Get to Doc's office and I am a little emotional, explain what happened and they went out of their way to accommodate me and do ALL of my appointments in one afternoon...I saw the psychologist, the nutritionist, the surgeon, and the pre op consultation. Woohoooo....I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday, June 21st....let the liquids begin!!
Wednesday completely changed my life!
No more sodas....not a problem!
Protein drinks....actually like them!
I am seriously missing crunchy and salty at the moment....but I am determined to get through these cravings!
I was fearful that with my family and having a funeral I would be so tempted to eat but I was able to stick to it. My husband has been very supportive and really good to eat things I don't like when he has been around me, which has made it easier for me.
We are back home now and I am alone today, so some of these temptations will be harder to work through...grabbing my water bottle and going to run some errands!
I do have to have a cardiac clearance from my cardiologist before surgery...so I will be busy the rest of this week with Doc appt and lab work scheduled.
