3 weeks left!!!!

Aug 24, 2010

WOW I have been on my Optifast now for a week! And it really isn't that bad! I change each meal up with either the chocolate or vanilla and I add extracts to them so I might have a chocolate mint, or chocolate banana, or vanilla coconut or almond joy with vanilla! Yes they do sound good don't they!!! MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm
It is'n bad I do have cravings of cheese and nice piece of steak but I substitute those with beef broth! and chicken broth at night so I feel like I'm having my meats!!
I stay on my 1.5 liters of water mixed with only 1 package of crystal light so it is not too sweet.
My boys want to bring the spare bed (single down stairs in the computer room so when I get home from the hospital I do not have to do stairs and if anything should happen the ambulance and staff do not have to carry heavy me down the winding stairs.
So for the 1st week I will do as they say and stay on the main floor. There is a WC I can use I am close to the kitchen to get my liquids, and I have a 42" flat screen in the othr room!!! NICE!!!!! One they see that nothing is wrong with me I can venture the stairs and have my first nice warm shower and sleep in my bed!!!! By then I think they will be glad I went upstairs so they can goof around.. But it is so nice they care!
My daughter who lives in Montreal wants to come and spend the night with me in the hospital and I will ask if that is alright when I do my pre op assessment!
She works in a hospital in Montreal and wants to help me get around!
plus she will stay for about 4 days afterwards to make sure I do walk and move and drink properly!! Such a cute mama!!!
I am proud of my kids, more than I tell them and I will be fine!
And if I die before I wake then I pray the Lord my soul to take!
