Pre-Op diet starts today
Posted 03-24-2008 at 09:40 AM by ladychief231
Good Morning All,
I had my pre-admission testing this past Thursday and everything went well. I have a B12 deficiency but other than that no problems. My surgery is scheduled for April 3rd. Today I started the 10 day clear liquid diet. So far so good except that I tried to mix protein powder with boullion. That didn't work, it was a pasty mess.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) will also be a challenge as I am going to NY to see a show with my 13 year old god daughter. I have planned ahead and bought some premixed shakes to take along. My challenge will be drinking shakes while she feasts on pizza. I'm pretty confident I'll be ok.
Last night Marianne took some "before" photos and we took my measurements. For those of you who may be curious but won't ask, my starting weight at pre-admission testing was 267 lbs.
Oh I forgot to mention that I met with my primary doctor on Friday to ask her to be a part of my care team. She was very supportive and will certainly be a part of this journey.
That's all for now. I'll post again after NY.
