Sorry, didn't mean to yell at all of you but i'm so frikken excited I could poop! (sorry Draz!)
Not on ly that but today my big news came with a call from Nurse H... who gave me my coveted surgery date. This girl right here...me..Dandy...JULIE is going to become banded on July 12th 2012. That's the day after my momma's birthday. I can't believe I finally have a DATE! It's so surreal...this has been a long journey just to get to this point. I know the journey hasn't really begun but holy smokes this was hard!
This would put me starting my Pre-op diet on June 28th ...13 days from now. I have a feeling July 12th is going to feel like a lifetime away but I know it will be here before I know it.
I'm glad my pre-op diet isn't a complete liquid diet, that would have sucked major donkey balls!
It sounds a lot like slim-fast...A shake for breakfast, a shake for lunch and a sensible dinner lol
for real though, protein shake for breakfast and lunch. I can add 2 servings fresh or frozen fruit or I can eat the fruit seperately.
Dinner can be a lean cuisine, or smart one...or lean grilled meat and steamed veggies (I think I like option 2!)
I can have any amount of sugar free beverages, broth, sugar free popscicles and jello.
I can 2 cups per day of Gatorade, Juice, skim milk, sherbet, and diet soda.
Not too bad if I do say so myself. I can do this! I just hope I don't gain 20 lbs in the next 13 days! I feel like every meal is my "last" meal!
OH! I just found out that my best friend is going to do the pre-op diet with me... how did I get so lucky to have a best friend like that?!?!?! From this moment forward I will call my bestie Cupcake, because I think I just may love her more than cupcakes ;)
I think this just about sums it up :)
That diet wasn't too bad, I kept a lot of Chicken broth at my desk, so when I got hungry I could drink a cup.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read on your blog that's what you did and I thought it was a great idea. I'm going shopping this weekend for broth, jello, popsicles etc...
DeleteCongrats again!!!! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Brenda!
DeleteDandy...... July 12th is awesome. Your pre op sounds way doable....
ReplyDeleteGirl I was scared! But when I got it I was like "This is gonna be easy!"
DeleteSo excited for you! It feels like it takes forever for the surgery date to get here...then time flies :)
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm going to try to just stay as busy as possible so i'm not counting down the seconds! :)
DeleteGlad you gotta your date so quickly. The time will fly by.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colleen! She asked me when I wanted my surgery and I said "As soon as frikken possible!" haha!
Deletewoohoo for you dandy lol .....my date is July 5th, my pre-op diet is JUST LIQUID!! so you are a lucky ducky,for 10 days starting june 25th I will have nothing but clear sugar free liquids but Doc. says if I get crazy I can have a chunkless yogurt. GOOD LUCK not gaining between now and your pre-op....
ReplyDeleteWOWZA! I was afraid it was going to be just liquid so I was VERY happy when I saw the diet and saw that I can actually eat food for dinner! :)
DeleteYeah for you! and Yeah for having a a super awesome best friend! Time will fly and the date will be here before you know it!
ReplyDeleteOMG she's awesome! We went and bought GNC out of their total lean protein shakes on saturday lol!
DeleteCongrats Dandy Bandy! Mine is in 10 days as you know. And lucky you for your pre-surgery diet too. I'm so happy you and i have close surgery dates too.. that way we can do this together :) Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSOOOOOO exciting! I agree, it's awesome we are so close so we can kinda go through it together!
DeleteI didn't get a pre of diet thank god. I had to go to liquids 2 days before but thats it. I must admit I ate like a jerk until that point :) But congrats on your date soon you will be bandtastic
ReplyDeleteI'm in the whole "eating like a jerk" phase right now lol
DeleteI was like that days before I started my pre-op diet. My last real meal was at red lobster all you can eat shrimp. Yum. But I am ready to eat healthy.
