I am so excited, and scared, and excited, and scared...okay you get the picture. I am drinking my protein liquids and in my head I am starving to death trying to get through this pre=op clear liquid phase.

Tried to watch t.v. ---nope every commercial has food. Tried to read a magazine---nope FOOD again on every other page. I keep going to the frig opening up the door and just looking inside and I swear I am about to grab a grape or a carrot or something and just stuff it in my mouth and run away before anyone takes it away from me. Okay not really... but it is a  fantasy that keeps replaying in my head.

I sure hope this feeling is going to go away after the surgery...I didn't have a "last supper" so now I am regretting it big time. I coulda , shoulda and  still want to!

I am in total amazement that some folks could do this clear liquid thing pre surgery for a week or more... and survive.

Well another day closer to having surgery... it just can't come quick enough for me. I still have over a month to go but I need to start practicing drinking 64 ounces a day and trying out some of this protein powder stuff (bleak!@^&^#$*). I have difficulty even smelling it much less getting it in my mouth. I'm just really looking forward to having the surgery over with so I can get down to business using my new tool. This whole waiting game is painful.
