day three (thursday) was spent being shuttled from clinic to clinic, visiting doctors, nurses; getting various tests and labs done and getting preadmitted to hospital. surgery is set for july 26 after lunch. that's my son's birthday, too. we'll have to celebrate a few days early.
amazing how much the protein shakes fill you up and you can go a whole day and night without craving food. went shopping thursday and got more atkins protein shakes. unfortunately the mocha latte was almost sold out. i got what was left on shelf plus a couple cartons of the milk chocolate delight shake. omgggggggggggggg how delicious is that? it is to die for. so much more tasty than chocolate milk. i will be going back and stockpiling on that flavor. i had one for breakfast and one for lunch today. maybe i'll ease in a snack later tonite and have another along with the big 40gram isopure. gotta squeeze in some water, too. it is so hard to get in required amounts of water, since i've never been a water drinker, but i'm trying and day by day succeeding.
also bought the required medical supplies — gauze, tape, bandaids. hope i got enuf to last a week or two. i should get few more boxes of gauze just to be sure.
it'll be interesting to see how the weekend plays out, although i don't think i'll have any problems as the need to "graze" is nil. yes, i do have grazing food still around, especially chips and crackers. i think there are pretzels, too. kinda cool to look at that stuff and say thanks but no thanks. i'll find someone to give them too as i don't like to toss it in garbage.
it is nice to have a clean kitchen and empty refrigerator. now to clean up rest of house.
