So yesterday was interesting. lol. I had to drink a whole bottle of calcium citrate (a laxative) and start a clear liquid diet. I got the grape flavor. It tasted like grape Dimetapp Elixer and alka seltzer and salt. It made me sooooo thirsty! I lived in the bathroom most of the day. lol. It was like clockwork every 20-30 minutes. I was fine by late evening. Me and my boyfriend went to Town Center, Virginia Beach and walked around a little. I wore out quick (my energy has been a little low) and we left before too long.
Today was a busy day getting ready for surgery, doing laundry, etc. Once I was able to settle down I just had a "me" evening. I took a long bath, gave myself a pedicure and manicure, watched a crappy 80's movie, and relaxed all evening. My bag is ready. All I have to do is take a couple "before" pics and shower with the scrub brush the hospital gave me. I can't have anything at all after midnight. I took out all of my piercings until after surgery. Tomorrow I have to wash with that stuff one more time then go to the hospital. I have to be there at 7:30am. My surgery is at 9am.
Ok, well, I would post more but my boyfriend is impatient to go to bed. So a short version of how I feel before surgery: a little nervous, a little scared, a lot excited, and VERY ready.
Bye!

I'm Cat. I had gastric bypass surgery on June 20, 2011. I am changing my life and living a healthier and more active lifestyle. I am no stranger to lifestyle changes. I have been a vegetarian for the majority of my life and I was vegan for several years. At the moment I'm a pesco-vegetarian or pescetarian which means that I eat seafood. I want to share my journey in hopes that I can inspire others and share my thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
