Pre-op Diet⟫ Day 26
Surgery Countdown⟫ 02 days
Only slept for a couple of hours last night, so getting up at 8.30 was hard. I always forget how long it takes to get to the hospital – we’re going to allow about on hour on Thursday just to be safe.
Bloods went well – the phlebotomist was from Slovakia and we were chatting about her going back to visit her mother while she got the job done. Pleased that I didn’t pass out (I did yesterday walking back from the bathroom – whoops) and then we were in a very nice Mercedes Benz E Class for the trip home. I dozed on the way there, Stripes dozed on the way back.
Book_grim is trying to organise an AirTasker to come and deep-clean the kitchen before I come back from the hospital. None of us have experience setting up something like this, but I think it’s a good thing because it will keep her busy and get the kitchen properly cleaned which would give us a solid base to work from. We’re going to try to sort it properly tomorrow, as well as packing.
Once we got home, we did our Squardle, etc and then my Zhu Zhu set that I got for £7 on eBay turned up. Had a bit of fun watching the various cats enjoying watching the mechanical mouse running around – at the moment, I would say that Dmi likes it the most, but if I remember correctly, Lucifer used to like killing them and presenting them to Stripes so it could get interesting.
I went for a nap that turned into a four hour sleep. I had a shake and a cup of marigold bouillon before settling down and my stomach. I received a reply from NewYou where they apologised, escalated the complaint to Parcelforce and have sent out a duplicate order using a different delivery company. So maybe I’ll have soups tomorrow – fingers crossed!
Getting seriously pissed at the scales – I mean, wtaf?! I’m having three shakes a day and water and/or tea, how the hell are the numbers not diving downwards? I need to stop thinking about it because it’s causing me some anxiety – what if they turn me away because I haven’t met their goal? Ugh.
Missed a call from the bariatric dietician team, which I can only assume is in response to the email we sent back around the 18th of the month. I can’t believe it took them this long to call back, but maybe they thought if it was urgent I’d keep going? I need to remind myself that they are dealing with a lot of people whereas my thoughts/problems are just about me, so I need to advocate for myself. I guess it doesn’t matter now but I will bear it in mind for the future.
Everything is getting a little bit more – urgent is the wrong word but, things on the surgery tracking spreadsheet are becoming more ‘need to get done’ rather than ‘think about looking into’. Stripes just removed all of the Metformin from my medicine organiser as I have to stop taking them at least a day before surgery. I’ve charged up my portable charger bank so I can use it for my phone – just added that to my packing list. Watched a YouTube video of a woman who had a sleeve done in Turkey and she went through what she packed so I sent it to the girls. She said they don’t allow you to get your incisions wet whilst you’re in hospital so no showers, which means the spritz deodorant that Book_grim got me in her care package will come in very handy to help me not feel too gross afterwards.
Only one more shake to have today and I might have another bouillon as that seemed to make my stomach happy. Pretty good going for a Monday – signing off.
