Preop Diet - Day 5

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.
