What are you eating/doing today? (Friday)

*smiles*

You will Sharon.  And I think it's almost time to change your screen name from Nervous Nelly. lol

Oh, no, that screen name is the real me! It's not just all about the surgery you know...

But, you're right, I'm not really nervous about the surgery any more.  I don't like all fussing around when they prep you, like putting in the intravenous equipment and all of that, but I'm not afraid of going under the knife!  I keep visualizing the other side of surgery, like the karate student visualizing the hand on the other side of the board.

Oh, sorry for the hijack from the purpose of this thread...

This thread is MEANT to be hijacked.  It's social.  Just like we're all having a meal together. :)

Well, keep the screen name then!  It is rather cute. :)

Naaah - you're alright.
We all go through doubts - part of our makeup I think.

Finally went from Extremely Obese to just Obese today - feels really good after three weeks without the scales moving at all. 

B - LAAAAARGE cappucino w cinnamon
L - 1 slice walnut bread, goat cheese, pate
S - pear + cheddar, tea
D - leftover Pulled chicken and baked beans
1 litre water

Multivitamins in, still working on the rest.

Wow, that is interesting.  I was at the Ottawa post-surgical education class this week.  We were told NOT to take any multivitamins while on Optifast as it is a complete nutrition drink when you take all 4 shakes per day.  I wrote this down as I was surprised to hear it 

Take care.

I'm not sure why, but it might be because I have a history of anemia, so I have been taking the extra iron for years.  Who knows, though?  All of the centres seem to have different instructions for the Optifast phase.  I was looking forward to having sf jello along with my Optifast, so I was very disappointed when I received the hand-out from the Guelph clinic, where it is not allowed.

2 weeks post op and FINALLY feeling human!

Did have a really crappy night sleep last night. I couldn't shut my brain off and I could hear noises outside (I hate the dark) So I didn't get up till 11am so I am a little behind

L- 1/3 cup of potato soup with 1tbsp of Protein Power
S- 1/3 cup Protein shake
D- I'm torn between more soup OR attempting a mexican bowl (being the first day of puree)
     So either 1/3 of soup
     or 1/4 puree beans, slice of avacado, 1tbsp of greek yogurt , 1tsp of salsa, 1tsp of low fat cheese
S- Rest of my protein shake

 Vits and 3-4 cups of water in.. may attempt more
