A GREAT day of shopping!

May 31, 2008

Today I spent the day shopping all by mysef and had a blast!  I had so much fun trying on clothes!  Who ever thought I would be saying that????

I started at 10:30 and ended up getting home around 3!  It was so great to shop in "regular" stores!  At first I grabbed size 16 pants but realized that I needed 14's!  YAHOO!!!  I bought a few pairs of capri's, a size LARGE jacket and large shirts!  I actually have a waist!!!  

Thinking back 8 months ago, I wouldn't have had the energy to shop this long let alone want to try on clothes.  My old habit was to buy them and try em on at home.  No more of that!  I didn't even have to nap when I got home!   I spent the rest of the afternoon going through paperwork and playing outside with my dog.

It's the night before my surgery - actually I surgery is scheduled 10 1/2 hours from now.  I'm getting ready for bed, hoping that I can sleep.
It's weird but I'm not really nervous.  I'm looking forward to being on the loser side and having the surgery over with.  Of course tomorrow morning I may feel differently.
Good Luck to Sandy - my surgery buddy!!  
Hopefully I'll be back on here in a few days!

Day 4 of my liquid presurgery diet. I was suppose to start Tuesday but didn't.   I can't say I'm thrilled but getting through it.  Friday night was tough.  I wanted a big steak!  I ended up eating a few popsicles and going to bed!  Today was a better day.  I had my 6 servings of SF Carnation Instant Breakfast, 3 popsicles and lots of water. I  don't have the "starving" feeling I had Friday.  
I picked up my son from work tonight and told him he smelled so good I could bite him!  Ha Ha.  He works at an Italian Restaurant so you can imagine how "yummy" he smelled!
My plans for tomorrow are to get some things done around my house and get paperwork/bills done that need taken care of before Tuesday.  I'm going in panic mode that things won't get done.

Here it is almost 1 week before surgery.  Wow, I never thought I would be this close!  It has been 2 weeks since I've quit smoking and I'm proud to say that I feel great about it!  I really don't miss it much.  I think this is because most of my friends and family don't smoke.  I also feel it's one step to a healthier me!
Tomorrow morning I begin the pre-surgery liquid diet.  Carnation Sugar Free Instant Breakfast, Sugar Free Popsicles, Jello, Clear Broth & lots of water!  It should be a very interesting week.  I plan on keeping my mind off of food by organizing my house!
