Good Morning Everyone....

Nothing big here in my world right now...just working.  I would just like to say thank you to everyone for all the warm welcomes and advice.  I'm hoping to give my insurance a call this week...so I can get the ball rolling.  I'm looking forward to the seminar 05/13.  Have a good day guys!!

I have a hard time concentrating on weight loss and meds and all that.  Perhaps I have a hard time concentrating period unless it tis on what I want to concentrate on.  This morning it has been bouncing balls on Facebook.  That is better than concentrating on food I guess.  I have not taken my morning meds though so I guess I better....

 Good Morning Everyone!

It is a beautiful day here!  So far sunny and about 70 degrees.  I took the day off work today.  My excuse is I have a doctor appointment later in the day and I thought why not?  

I am going to truck all my dirty clothes to the laundry mat.  I did not get laundry done over the weekend and I need to do bed linens as well and rather than fight the stairs I think I will go kill it all off in 1 short visit to the local laundry mat.  It will be over a lot faster.  

If the weather holds, I want to get some more flowers for my planters.  I need to get some additional ones to mix in with my geraniums.  The flower sale did not have any spikes or a lot left when I go there Sunday.  I just got geraniums and gerbers.  

So I am going to have fun playing today!  Hope everyone has a great day!.

Not for long!!

Hello everybody,
Not much going on today.  Just finished my 1/2 C of homemade turkey chili and then back to the grind of checking invoices (so boring). 

I'm in a new step aerobic class and the trainer is kicking my butt.  I thought that after a year of working out 5 times a week I was stronger then I feel now. I'm hoping this time next year it won't be so hard.

Did anyone watch the Biggest Loser last night...oh my gosh they had to run a full marathon...again you could mop the floor with me if I had to do that but what an inspiration.

Well I'd better get back at it. Have a great day.

Hi everyone I am on day 5 of my liquid diet and have a really hard time. Yesterday was the worst because I had my upperGI and presurgery bloodwork also and the barium was soo gross. So I had an awful headache from not eating at all when I got home at 11a and I had my shake right away and some soup but could not get rid of the headache. I took tylenol with codine (per my dr) and that didnt even put a dent in the headache. I was able to take a 3 hr nap with my kids and still had the headache. I finally had to have a small cup of coffee and then I felt like a million bucks. IT was awful caffine withdrawls I think. But now today I just feel like I cant stand to look at anymore broth, protien shakes, jello, or popsicles. I just want something to chew on and some food. I am trying really hard not to cheat but all I keep thinking is how am I going to do this for 5 more days. Do you have any advice? 

I might have a chicken breast or egg later as my dr told us that if we were to cheat do it with protein. Plus, he told us that he didnt used to make the RNY's do this diet until a year ago and that he doesnt care if we lose weight he just does it so that the liver is easier to move. But I wish he would have been stricter almost LOL is that weird? 

 Keep focused on the surgery.  The reason the doctor wants to be able to move easier around the liver is he does not want to nick it.  If he nicks it, then you have more complications from surgery.  I know it is hard, but you can do it!  I ate so many popcicles on my preop diet I though I should have had stock in the company lol.  Just try to keep focused on the goal of surgery.  You CAN do this!  Hang in there!  

Michelle,  Have you tryed SF popcycles? You can crunch them and that gives the feeling of eating something solid.

I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.
