My sister, Andrea Scotting, is a food-obsessed nut, but I love her anyway. She talks about food ALL THE TIME. Drives me nuts. She knows the intimate details of Julia Child’s famously complicated recipe for boeuf bourguignon, and the fundamental distinctions between Indian favorites chicken tikka masala and chicken korma (they taste the same to me). I don’t know much about food. Apparently I care about it, since I’m a large guy and I clearly eat lots of it. But talk about it? Nah. My mouth is usually too full.

I’m happy, however, to discuss the intricacies of the pre-WLS liquid diet, which I started today.

I’m at my pre-op appointment with anesthesia. I hate anesthesia. Even more, I hate that they are using antediluvian, crash-prone Windows computers. I’m a Mac guy.

I hope they don’t use these in the OR. Need to remember to sneak in my iPhone just in case.

Eeekkk!!!

I’ve eaten no McDonald’s for two months. No Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, Chicken McNuggets or Apple Pies washed down with Diet Coke. No fries. Nothing.

The good part is I feel great. There’s no bad part.

The clock is ticking closer to Surgery Day (5/10/10) and I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. Hopefully no hiccups with the surgery date (see my prior post) and I’ll be on my way.
