I loved typing the last number.....13. That means I'm almost done with my preop diet and it is almost time for surgery. Things have gone quite well. On preop day 2, I sure didn't think they would be going as good as they are or that I would have ever made it to this point. It's hard to believe that I only have 1 more day before my life changes forever. I will never again be able to eat as much food in one setting as I can today. My stomach will be tiny. I read somewhere the average stomach holds 50 ounces and a stomach after VSG will hold 3 to 4 ounces. That's a lot of stomach taken out!
My new friend Kristi from West Texas who is having surgery on the same day and with the same doctor as me is on her way in town with her husband. I so can't wait to meet her in person! Since we have to have a liquid dinner, we are going to meet for lunch and have our "last meal" out somewhere. Of course, it won't be a "good" meal. It will be the foods allowed on our 1 meal-a-day preop diet. After lunch, Kristi and I are gonna do some retail therapy. She promised her 7 year old a gift so we're off to Sam Moon. I think a Costco trip is in the plans too for some vitamims and such. I've really enjoyed getting to know Kristi over the phone and so I'm looking forward to meeting her in person and having her as a longtime friend. After all, we will be going through this journey at the same time. Who better to give support to and get support from?
I hope everyone is doing good in their journey.
