 The next two weeks will just fly by, but relax, because I promise you, the two weeks your on the liquid diet before the surgery will DRAG.  *lol*  No, not really.  You'll do fine.  It's really amazing how quickly the time goes by.  Before you know it, it'll be over, and you'll be in recovery!!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!

Topic: Getting nervous!!
My surgery is 32 days away and I am starting to get all freaked out! I am making my lists and packing and re packing and getting my "food" ready for after surgery! I am starting to worry about getting my protein and water in. I know I am over reacting! BUT I am going to blink and it will be May 13th!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!

Topic: It's weird, you know...???
 It's weird, you know...all my life, I've been a hefty hefty eater.  My tummy's always been a Hefty Hefty Cinch-Sack for food.  I could eat things in (what I now see as) massive quantities.

Now, here I am, five-weeks post-op, and struggling to get in enough calories in a day to keep my metabolism going.  I'm not complaining, mind you, but, it's strange to think how quickly that changes post-op.  I used to enjoy hearty meals, and be satisfied.  Now, I have to work to get down a single 4oz hamburger patty (sans bun and condiments.)  And I'm satisfied.  More than satisfied.  If I can manage to keep it down.  

And I'm NOT hungry. 

In fact, I don't have to remind myself to eat, but, I have to remind myself that I can't just skip meals, because at best I'm getting in 800 calories a day, sometimes half that.

Sometimes, I wonder, do others sit-back, and look at themselves in the third person, and just think "Wow, what a change..."

I know I do...

If hunger is not the problem, then eating is not the solution.
