Liquid diet G8
Well 3 days left until the surgery, I am on shakes, milk, and water each day. Brad and I both want real food so bad it's ridiculous, I want eggs and toast and he wants a meatball sub. His diet changes to the puree stage day after tomorrow, he is a bit excited about that but 23 days into this liquid diet we are both ready to chew lol.
I have finally started getting a bit nervous about the surgery, maybe that means I actually think it's going to happen or maybe it's because there are still things that could stop it. We found out the Dr.s office didn't even finish actually billing insurance yet, they did preliminary stuff but not the actual billing, so if insurance decided not to cover my surgery they may want me to pay up front (pretty sure I am safe from that this close to my actual date). However then there is the issue of blood pressure. The medication my doctor had me on for blood pressure was a diuretic, but so is the medication to control my intracranial hypertension, they do not mix well...so I have been on nothing for BP, I will be nervous the day of the surgery, and if it's too high I can't have the surgery. I have been off all salt though so that helps. Who knows maybe they can give me something for it there if it's a little high.
Anyway up a little early today because of nerves, today starts my crazy clean routine lol. Shower with nothing but dial soap, brush teeth, Listerine, and peroxide belly button swab twice a day. I did all the laundry I need for the hospital last night, I'm probably going to pack quite a bit of it today with just a few everyday things going in on Monday. Monday is my final weigh in (and I better have lost some weight!) good thing is this time I am not menstrual and I'll pee first.
