Yesterday I spent 1/2 the day at the hospital. I saw the anesthesiologist and went to the dietitian seminar. It was interesting. I learned what to eat, what not to eat, when to eat it and when NOT to eat it. Lots of rules, lots of reasons not to stray from the program. The good news is that about a week after the surgery I will be able to start the "mushy" foods. I'm happy because most of the things I enjoy will be included in this part of the process. That includes peanut butter, beans, eventually meatballs (turkey) and other mushable type foods.
The crazy part of all of this is I will only be consuming 1/4 cup of food at each meal. ONE FOURTH OF A CUP! I keep asking how can I sustain my life on 3/4 cup of food each day, but I guess that is why the supplements and protein shakes are so important!
I'm really looking forward to moving on and starting this journey. I'm ready to loose the shell. Good by Shanny shell... hope to never see you again!
Go Shan GO!!! Hugs for being brave and I wish y'all the best!!
