A: Nothing!

I’m on clear liquids until 11:59 Sunday night.

I went to get my pre-surgery lab work done before my appointment to maximize my time.

I had no idea that there would be so much blood needed and I have terrible veins. My right arm got stuck and my left arm got stuck twice before they could get enough blood. So now my arms are sore.

My surgeon was very nice and very knowledgeable which I appreciate!

I can let go of some of my anxiety about him cancelling my surgery because of my A1C because he said the chances of that happening are low!

I also found out that I may have to stay an additional day in the hospital following my surgery.

While the surgery will ultimately help with my Gastroparesis, in the beginning it may give me more nausea than normal. And they want to release me once the nausea is gone.

It has been a while since I have been here. I come and go once in a while to try to get active again and I get very intimidated. I am very ashamed to admit it, but I do.

I have been jumping in and out of the wagon a LOT lately.  I am so ashamed about it... I feel like a hypocrite coming here and pretending I’m doing well

I don’t know how to get back on to doing what I was doing so well... I keep just overeating and eating when I am not supposed to

Please, let me know if you have been through this and what you recommend I do to try to get back into doing things well...
