With the weekend quickly approaching I am finding myself thinking about my surgery quite a lot. I only have 4 days of "normal" food until I am on liquids for 2 weeks, then soft foods (baby-food) for two weeks. But even in saying that I think that is fine, I am just that much closer to my goal.
I have completed all my pre-op blood work, chest x-rays, and tomorrow I will have my EKG. My labs look better since I started my diet. Not perfect, but certainly better. I have met with Dr. Brader and his nurse so I am certainly now in countdown mode. Even added an app on my I-Phone telling me the hours, minutes and seconds until my procedure. 5 day and 14 hours left. I have not been as nervous as I thought I may be, but more excited to really start losing. This weekend I will be stocking up on all the items I will need post -op after I get back from Atlantic City with some of my friends. Kind of a last chance get a way before my surgery and recovery. It should be a blast.
I have been working out very hard the past several days as I am thinking it will be a couple of weeks until I am back at the gym and I only have a couple of days left. My trainer has really been working me hard, but he is great and really motivates me. In fact, his new nickname is Jillian. So I am now off to gym, later
