Sick without surgery
I went to the surgeon's office on Monday. I met with the dietitian, exercise physiologist, and physicians assistant. They covered what I will be eating before and after surgery, what vitamins I will be taking, what they are looking for in exercise, and what to expect during and after surgery. I left with a bag of meals and snacks for the next 13 days.
I started the high protein food yesterday. Boy oh boy was it delicious. Small but delicious. Breakfast was high protein oatmeal. Snack consisted of a high protein raspberry tea. Lunch was beef stew. PM snack was a peanut butter bar. Dinner was a vegetarian chicken fajita (vegetarian and chicken don't seem to go together). I was doing really well at drinking all the water too. Then it happened, the auto-eject session. I brought up dinner and then some. I immediately went to bed since my head was pounding. I woke up still feeling yucky, but I tried to eat the more bland stuff.
Currently I am 2 days down on the high protein diet. 11 days left until surgery. Woohoo.

My best to you Amy, sounds like you're preparing yourself for the road ahead. Two friends of mine had this surgery successfully. They've both had their sick days and challenges, but they have both lost so much weight. One is a man and one a woman. Its an inner journey as much as anything, you will really get to know yourself well. My best to you in the days ahead. Read all you can and take quiet, quality time for yourself, treat yourself well. Linda
