I Didn't Eat the Cake!!!

Tuesday is my birthday so my family gave me a party yesterday.  It was great fun!  The kids loved it because my sister has a pool and they swam until their fingers were pruny.  There was BBQ burgers and hot dogs, potato salad, baked beans and of course...CAKE!!!   And I ate none of it!!!  OMG!!!  I was so good!  At one point I started to try to talk myself into cake but then I shot myself down.  Another time, it was a burger.  My reasoning was that it was protein so it was ok.  Shot that one down too.  Went and made myself a shake and I was ok.

I was proud of myself.  Yay!

I am proud of you too.  This isn't easy. But cake would be easy for me to turn down. My problem was lack of mobility with 18 leg surgeries over the last 20 years.

I will miss my sushi, but I guess if I have it without rice, I will be fine.  One California roll will feed me for a week Im sure.

I am only 4 days post op, and if anyone has any ideas on the easier way to get rid of the gas, I would appreciate the informaiton.

I'm not having any gas issues..but I was told that walking will help it..so get up and keep moving.  I spent the 2 days in the hospital kicking my legs at the end of the hospital bed to keep me from having any gas issues!

Gas-X also makes meltaways, chewables and dissolvable strips that my surgeon said were ok to take post-op.

Good for you!  You are so close to the big day.    Glad you had a great party.

wish I had your strenght

Great job! You can totally do this! Are you getting excited?  It's almost here! The first few days such but by day 3 it's all good! Take care!
