Things just seem to be getting better and better on this preop diet. I still haven't had any negative symptoms other than the bad day on day 2 and I continue to make strides in drinking my protein shakes. I am managing to get them down much easier now. I'm not gagging when I drink them anymore and I don't obsess over the aftertaste of them for 30 minutes plus anymore. Woo Hoo!! All that being said, I don't think I will ever drink chocolate milk again once I can get off the protein shakes. I've always LOVED chocoate milk, but I'm getting a ton of it in my chocolate protein shakes that I think I will be over the chocolate milk taste!
On another note, I've began talking to two people I "met" on the VST boards. Both are having surgery by Dr. Nick at Forest Park on June 5th just like me. One lives in West Texas and the other about an hour 1/2 east of me. Getting together isn't an option right now but we plan on meeting up after Kristi from West Texas gets in town. I so cannot wait to meet her and my new friend Donna who I chatted with for the first time tonight. I love having new friends who are going through this at the same time as me and I look forward to continuing to build my new friendships. Today has been a good day. I hope things continue to go as good.
