T Minus Four Days

Four days to liftoff. And it can't get here soon enough. I know that I won't be able to eat solids after surgery any more than I am not supposed to eat them now. However, after surgery, hopefully, my appetite will not be as ravenous as I am now.

I am trying to keep busy but its been tough. It is ridiculously hot out, so anything outside is pretty much out of the question. I went to the scrapbook store last night, but I didn't want to go too crazy.

Today, I finished up some last minute pre-surgery errands. I swung by the drugstore and picked up a couple of prescriptions, as well as a bottle of magnesium citrate. I found out at the pre-op appointment that I have to do a colon cleanse the day before surgery. It's a bit of an understatement to say I'm not really looking forward to it. I took magnesium citrate once before. It was...not pretty. Eventhough I haven't eaten anything more solid than yogurt in almost two weeks, it's still gonna suck.

If anyone ever tells you that bariatric surgery is the easy way to lose weight, punch them in the throat.
