Wow.  I started all of this at the beginning of July and my surgery is finally almost here.  Tomorrow I will drink the clear liquid protein.  I’ve heard horror stories on the taste of it.  It’s just one day though.

Today we went out and bought all the food we will need for when I come home from the hospital.  For the first two weeks I’ll be able to eat 6 teaspoons of food at a time.  I will also have to drink 8 ozs of water per hour between meals.  Most food the first two weeks will be pureed food.  So we picked up what I can eat and also go some baby food.  Should be interesting.  But you know what?  After two weeks of no food, just about anything sounds good at the moment.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at work.  I have to get as much done as I can before I leave.  I’m not sure if my manager will try to figure out my month balancing or leave it until I get back.  I’ll be getting back to work just in time for next month’s end.

I have to say – Tommie has been so great through all of this.  He didn’t want me to have surgery at first (and still doesn’t really), but he stands behind me and hopes it works at making me more healthy.  He has made a point these past few weeks to not eat in front of me.  He also drinks protein shakes with me, and makes my shakes to make sure I drink them.  He said after surgery he is going to be on me to make sure I get in all my protein and water.

Today Tommie got me a Google Chromebook.  That is what I’m typing this on now while I watch TV in bed. 😉  I think I’m going to really like it!  Just something simple and light that I can pick and and take with me for basic things.

Well, today wore me out.  Just have no energy with no food for so long, so I’m going to go ahead and end this here.  I probably won’t post again until after my surgery.
