Hello friends ~
First off, THANK YOU for reading and thank you to the many of you who have emailed, called, text, etc. in support! I have been overwhelmed by your encouragement and and committing to pray for me during this journey!
I've been on the liquid diet for about a week now and surprisingly, it's going pretty well. One more week to go! I do have the things they warned me about: dizziness, ketosis breath, low energy... but thankfully, it hasn't been too bad. Glenn continues to encourage me and be my biggest cheerleader, and for someone who LOVES to cook, he has put all that on the back-burner (oh that's cute) for me. I have been having a hard time getting the 700-900 calories I am to get in today and have been averaging just shy of 500. I emailed with my Nutritionist today and she suggested I add a glass of milk, or coconut oil to each shake, so I will try that.
I am a week away from the surgery and several of you have asked where my surgery will take place. I will be at Memorial Hermann in Memorial City, and just for one night if all goes well. If you would like to pray for my Surgeon, especially the day of, his name is Dr. Garth Davis and a wonderful man.
My parents are in Bakersfield, CA for the night and will head East tomorrow!! :-)
I hope you had a great day and will write more soon!
Much love,
~ Stephanie
