Hello, everyone... I know, it's been a while. I'm preparing for surgery in two days (GASP) and I have mixed feelings. I am excited at the possibilities that surgery will afford me, and I am TERRIFIED of the actual surgery itself. I am alternately crying and happy. I just worry that something will happen during surgery and I won't be here for my Abby afterward. It scares me a great deal. Please, pray for me. For courage, and for my doctor's success in surgery.
Anyway, enough about that. I also wanted to let you all know that my weight is now 322.4. That is almost 8 pounds lost (7.8) in a bit under a week. Tomorrow I am on fluids only, and cannot eat after midnight. Following surgery, my diet looks like this:
Week 1
Diet Jell-O
Broth
Light juice
Diet drinks (no carbonation)
Water
Sugar-free Popsicles
Sugar-free Waterice
up to 48oz. of fluid/day
Vitamins
1 Chewable Multivitamin
1500 mg. of chewable calcium
50 mg. of Iron
Doesn't it sound YUMMY!?!? :) I'm psyching myself up for it now. After I've suceeded at living on clear fluids for a week, I move on to... MORE fluids! I'll post my 2nd week post-op diet after surgery.
Tomorrow I will learn what time surgery is scheduled. I'll post more once that information is available to me. Until then...
God bless and keep you all,
Love,
Amy
