I am feeling great! I prepped italian style meatloaf (made 3) and tossed them in the freezer for easy thawing & baking as needed post-op. I also got everything to do a big ol turkey dinner the day before surgery. Now, I won't be eating it since I'll be drinking clear liquids that day, but it puts my mind at ease about what the in-laws, kids & Hubby will be eating on surgery day & probably the day after that too. The bird is a 12 lber so it should last a couple days at least. Of course now I'm trying to think about what they will all be eating Sunday night (that's the day the In-laws will be here for the first full day), but I have more than enough food around to figure it out, I'm easy I'll be liquid diet.
I'm not so happy about the spice restrictions 2 weeks before surgery, it's making me eat lots and lots of eggs lol (what with no garlic, no cayenne etc.). But that's okay, they are yummy, it just means I'm eating a ton of them.
It's about time to get going on last minute preps around here. I can't wait for Hubby to be off of work! He'll be off starting Friday for his vacation, then we'll definately have everything ready to go. We're doing my youngest's b-day a couple weeks early (before surgery) so it can be more fun for me at least, so we need to get that all done too (not really elaborating on that, trying to keep this blog mostly surgery related ).
I feel like I got past the worst of the nerves/stress/anxiety (a couple days ago) because I really do feel great, ready, happy & lucky to be getting this done!
