Nearly There - 2 days To Go

So here we are with only 2 days to go and I can't wait to get this op done.

So how has it been?  Well I am well and truly sick of diet jelly (I hate artificial sweeteners) but other than that not too bad.  I have not been hungry but you never feel satisfied from just shakes, jelly and veggies.

I have really missed meat and cheese and a few days ago I had a piece of cheese about the size of  matchbox and it was divine.  On Sunday I had to go to my brother sister in laws baby shower where they were having a BBQ.  My dietitian suggested I stick to a small piece of steak and salad which I did.  I also took along a zuccini and grilled it on the BBQ.  All in all it was a good option.  But ohhhh the smell of BBQ sausages, potato bake and then there were bread rolls and real butter.  I had to look away.  But I have been good other than that.

But the best thing is that I have lost 6kg which is great according to my dietitian.  He tells me that it is a sure sign my liver is shrinking.
My meeting with him today was to discuss my post op plan and this is how it goes:

14th Feb - Operation Day, no drinking allowed IV only
15th Feb - no drinking allowed IV only
16th Feb -no drinking allowed IV only
17th Feb - allowed to drink shakes and water @ a rate of 60ml per hour that is 1 teaspoon every 5 minutes
18th Feb - Time to go home still drinking as above.

After 7 days I can increase my liquid intake to a rate of 100ml per hour.

Apparently it will take me about 3 hours to get through 1 protein shake... crazy.

Well that is it for now and I am not sure if I will blog again till after my op.

So see ya on the other side... maybe.

I really appreciate any comments you take the time to leave.  Feel free to ask questions.
