Funny Story

So today was day 2 of my pre-op all liquid diet and I had a family function to attend. I was excited to see my extended family, but I wasn't excited to be around all the food that was going to be there. I packed a protein shake and several water bottles to get me through the day. It was hard to see everyone eating while I sat there sipping on water, but I acted like it was no big deal. In my head I imagined myself pushing down my aunt so I could get to the mojo pork that was simmering in the slow cooker and eat it like a caveman. But I shook it off and walked outside and sat in the smokers circle and chatted for a bit. My Mom asked me what all I could have pre-op and I told her 3-4 8oz protein shakes and water. It turned out to be a nice day and I enjoyed spending time with everyone.

By the time I left I was tired and hangry (so hungry you are angry) I just wanted to go home and curl into a ball . When I  did get home I decided to look over some of the paperwork from my surgeons office which I had only previously skimmed over. I got to the pre-op diet part and it said how to make the shakes and how much water to drink and that's about the point where I normally quit reading. I was ready to put it down when I noticed a sentence in small text at the very bottom of the page that read "You may have crystal light, beef, chicken, or vegetable broth" I did a double take. How in the hell did I miss that?

I felt like it was Christmas and I just unwrapped that Barbie Dream House I always wanted. I quickly grabbed my keys, yelled out to Wattz to watch the kids, and I was out the door. I was overjoyed to be able to drink something other than water and protein shakes. I drove to Publix with the biggest smile on my face and walked in grabbed a basket and sprinted straight towards the soup aisle. I happily waited in the check out line with my goodies. I had a nice little chit chat with the cashier while I checked out.

It wasn't until I got home and unpacked everything when I noticed that in my excited state before I left the house that I had forgotten a very important item.....MY BRA!!! I am a DDD, so the first thing I do when I get home is rip off my bra and let my girls breathe. I can't believe that I walked out my front door and into a super market with no bra. I walked around the store with a smile on my face not realizing there was a little more bounce to my walk. I of course found this hilarious and text my best friend Cherokee to tell her about my little escapade. At least I ended the day with a good laugh!
