    Two days till plication!

    By oliviam,

    So the days are ticking by, slowly with this whole liquid thing! I have to admit I broke down and had a meal tonight. I got a terrible sinus infection and upper respiratory infection and the lack of nutrients was really compromising my immune system. Anyway, I am feel much better now and ready to tackle the next two days of liquids only and fasting. I am supposed to fly into San Diego on Tuesday morning and have my pre op tests done Tuesday followed by surgery on Wednesday although I am pushing to have both done on Tuesday. I can't imagine fasting for all day Tuesday and the next day with not even water to drink. Is that even healthy?
    On a side note, I have been filling out Valentine's Day cards for my two little kiddie poos and my husband and getting teary eyed. Okay, not just teary eyed, full on ugly cry. I can't help but feeling like this might be the last thing they get from me. I mean, what if I die during the procedure?! I know it's probably over dramatic, I do, but I can't help it. I can't imagine having to lose my life over extra weight that I probably should have been able to loose on my own. Arghhh, I just want this surgery done and over with so I can stop fretting and get on with the new self. A healthier mommy who feels good about herself ya know?
    Keep me in your prayers, I need em'!

    One week till plication!

    By oliviam,

    So, I have been on the pre op diet for the last three days and not enjoying it! I am so irritable and frankly wondering why the heck they make you do this anyway. I would like to be a pleasure to be around on the last week of spending with my precious kiddos, and I'm doing my best to hide my crabbiness, but only drinking liquid protein and eatings bags of broccoli is not fun. Clearly I have some food additions (I know duh) but I had no idea I would experience withdrawals like this.
    My family is not keen on this entire surgery and it's quite unfortunate because it only adds to the stress. My feelings vacillate between fearing death on the table to fearing no weight loss after all of this. Anyway, I guess I'll always wonder if I don't give this a shot right?
    My current weight before starting pre op diet was 198 and I was at 194 this morning. I hope I can make the 5% mark before the surgery, actually I hope I can make the whole nine days of no eating normal food! It sorta freaks me out that I won't even get to eat normally until three weeks after the surgery. I hate being over weight, it comes with so many issues.....
    Well, until the surgery, ciao!
