8 DAYS LEFT---Starting to get nervous...
Posted 07-21-2008 at 01:45 PM by nikole76537
This is my first blog to this website so HELLO...I am currently in my pre-op diet 7 days in and 8 days left. It has been a huge struggle over the last 7 days not only to stick to the high protein, low carb pre op diet but I also quit smoking last Monday too.
Needless to say, I have fallen off the wagon a couple of times with food and cigarrettes but I am back on the wagon and ready to go. From reading alot of the blogs it looks like my pre op diet is much better than most so I will now whine about it. I will say that food addiction is a hard thing to overcome in addition to smoking so I will not beat myself over a couple of weak moments.
At this point I am looking for words of encouragement b/c I don't get them from home. I know I can do this and I WANT to do this but its hard to stay focused 100% of the time without support. So here I am.

Words of encouragement
Girl, sounds like you have taken on the ultimate challenge, but you must have what it takes to do it. I'm sorry you don't get the support and encouragement you need at home, but stick with us here at the boards and I'm sure you will get plenty!
My surgery is July 30th and I start my pre-op all liquid diet on Wednesday...Yikes!!!
