Sweetest story--kind of OT
My kids (4 and 6) have noticed I'm not eating sugar and making "healthier" choices. I haven't told them about the VSG yet (pre-op still) b/c I don't have a date yet. Once I do, I'll tell them something like I'm going to the hospital and a doctor is going to fix my tummy so I only want healthy foods or something like that (open to ideas here).
Anyhow, we were on the way back from a party (where I did not eat carbs, yay), and I asked if they'd had a good time. My sweet 4-year-old son said, "Well, it didn't really work out for me." I asked why not since he'd gotten to eat pizza and 2 cookies, and he said, "Well, I decided I'm not going to eat sugar any more. I'm going to make a healthier choice."
I asked him if that was because Mommy wasn't eating sugar and he said, "yes."
OMG I love these kids! I hope they don't mind too much when I'm not so soft and comfortable. :)

How cute! Isn't it great that you are changing your eating behavior now, while they are still so impressionable. Not only do you have a lifetime of good health ahead, you are now setting an example for life for your kids!

She came to visit me at the hospital and said, "mommy are you kinny yet?" Very cute.
