I finally got to eat. Protein first. The Opti-Source Caramel protein drink wasn’t too bad, just mediciney. The chicken broth was better than the stuff I have at home. The apple juice was good. I didn’t know if I would be able to drink fruit juice after surgery because I didn’t know if it would cause dumping.

I also got lunch. The strawberry protein drink was better than the caramel, but I didn’t drink the cranberry juice or fruit sorbet. They just weren’t appealing to me. The beef broth was good.

Ahhhh! I’m a loser! I’m a loser! I’m a loser!

I made it to the other side and without any problems. Let me tell you my surgery story:

I got the hospital 8:15 a.m. Dang cab made me wait almost an hour. I was supposed to be there 7:45 a.m. but they didn’t have a problem with me being late. I was the 2nd surgery for Dr. Khalili. I changed into the robe. I’m glad they finally had one of those big mama robes for me. For all my other appointments, they had the skinny minnie robes and I had to hold the darn thing closed or my thingies would fall out.
