Jan 02, 2012

 So here I am day 4 of my liquid diet and It is about 48 1/2 hours until my surgery start time.  I am mixed feelings.  Nervous and excited.  Do I want to turn back,,,not at all.  I have 10 more pounds to get to the 25 pound mark of my pre op weight loss goal.  Of coarse I found out yesterday that my sons kindergarten registration starts the day of my sugery.  So I have to register him next week.  I figure if I am going to be up walking, I should be ok to take a ride over to the elementary school to fill out a few forms and walk around.  I am sure by that point I will ba begging to get out of the house.  Of coarse I will not drive.  It will be an exciting couple weeks!!  My baby will be registered in big boy school!!!
I have to get him a TB test, but I think hubby can run him to the peds to do that on friday.  
Back to me.  I have started to accept the living with real food thing.  I had to cook for hubby and son since hubby is useless in the kitchen.  Thank god my mom will be here the first few days to help until I get fully on my feet.   I made perogies.  Man I wanted to devoire them!!!!  Also after 3 days of soup, yogurt, pudding and protein drinks I find my self wanting texture.  I think that is going to be my problem.  I want pickles and pretzel rods with mustard.  Although with the pickles I am willing to drink the brine, lol.  Loaded with sodium I know, but will it kick the pickle craving...yes!  I know this is the beginning so I better get used to it.  My hubby keeps telling me "you wanted this".  And if he tells me one more time I am shoving my foot up his ass!!!  I know I wanted it, I know this was what to expect, but it is still not easy to go through...EEUUUGG!!  This is just the tip of the ice burgh.  I hope it will be easier when I have a 1 oz pouch and not a 64 + oz stomach to fill.
