LORIL

I am on a two week pre-op diet, with surgery on Monday, july 2nd. The first three days I had heard were the worst. That did prove to be true for me as well. It really wasn't as bad as I had thought.

I am going out for supper tonight with my mom, just kind of for some socialization in a restaurant which so was a part of my life. I am going to a place that I can order salad and raw vegetables ONLY. I won't be going off my diet, just want to eat somewhere else.

I do think I will order a diet coke, however. I know I don't need it; have been doing fine without it for a very long time already. I also know it will be a LONG time before I can have one, maybe never. That will be my send off to myself for surgery.

I am nervous about the surgery, but I think I can handle the diet part of this. I do so much appreciate all the support that is here on this message board.
