Is it going to be difficult? I asked my surgeon and my nutritionist when discussing the pre-operative diet I must maintain for two weeks prior to surgery.
"No," they said. "After the first few days, it gets easier."
LIARS!
I am 11 days in and it sucks today almost as much as it sucked on day 1. I am dizzy half the day, my higher brain function seems to have deserted me and I would kill someone for a piece of fish and an apple. Interestingly enough, I am not craving chocolate or cookies or any of that. My body is telling me it needs "real" food and I can only apologize to it and lie and say it will be over soon. It won't be. I have 4 more days of this followed by 10 days of liquid post-op and then 10 days of mushies. My only hope is that, post-op, I won't be so obsessed with food. I have a feeling it won't be that easy, so we will see.
Right now this doesn't feel worth it. But that could be because I am still so afraid the other shoe is going to drop. I have been through pre-admission testing. All fine. I saw my doctor last week. All good. He is supposed to have everything faxed to the surgeon today. I just called. He still hasn't done it.
FOR GOD'S SAKE. Put me out of my misery.
Ah well, more later.
