It's almost Wednesday.....

Wednesday the 15th is my day!!  I have my RNY with Dr. Gupta at 1pm. 

I've done so much to prepare over the past week or so that I think I'm physically ready - got all my vitamins, protein supplement samples, jello, pudding, broths and soups, one ounce and two ounce cups with lids, chapstick, check-list to remember to take vitamins, shave-ice machine, crystal light - gosh, just about every recommendation I got I jumped on and took care of!!!  I've been so focused on preparing physically, that I haven't had to think of preparing mentally.  And now that I'm ready, I'm just starting to freak out a little!!


So, today I'm taking a deep breath, doing a little meditation and taking some time for prayer.  I'm trying to convince myself that I've made the right choice and that I will come through fine, my health will improve, and I'll be able to be the active mom that my kids deserve.   I'll be healthy and lookin' hot in no time!!  

If you have a chance, please say a prayer and keep me in thoughts on Wednesday!

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shave ice nachine? do tell..never thought of that? mix with crystal light?

The shaved-ice machine was one of the recommendations I got along the way - someone mentioned that they were able to get more liquids in when they were slushy-like.  I've always been an ice eater, so when I saw the shave-ice machine on clearance at Walmart, I snatched it up! 

I plan to mix the ice with crystal light and some protein powder.  Hope it works for me!  If not, I'm sure my kids will get lots of use out of it!  

I read a post where someone said she used half the amount of water recommended with the crystal light for the shaved ice.... I hope I can find a machine on clearance, will look tomorrow.   I never bothered to get one cause I could never find the sugar free syrups but the crystal light idea would hit the spot for sure.
