Two Weeks and counting

Oct 14, 2010

It is hard to believe that I am 14 days away from surgery. I have been thinking about it non-stop, reading other people's stories and connecting with a few members.  The thing that hits me the most is that it is about so much more than the actual surgery....it is life altering!! People change through this experience and not just physically but in every other way as well and that makes me more certain than ever. 

One week now on Optifast....and I am ok.  I definately feel hunger but it is going fine.  Adding chopped ice to each shake seems to improve it's overall taste, and I love to add vanilla extract or almond extract to them but the best so far is adding espresso.
Two other members of my family are cleansing at the same time so that they can support me!!  Is that not true love or what!  So I am in great hands, with a great community around us, which I also think is key.

Today I will think about all of you who are in or recovering from surgery - hoping for a speedy recovery and lots of care to help you through the next part of the journey.

I celebrate all those who have gone before me....you give me strength.
