55 shakes and I will be post op

I stared at my calendar, 12 more days till surgery,  at 5 shakes a day for my liquid diet, only 55 more .  Of course nothing to eat on the day of surgery.  Doesn't seem so bad. 

I could have eaten anything when I came home from the gym, starved.  Dennis had just gotten done eating scrambled eggs for supper.  He is pretty good about having his meals while I am exercising or asleep.  The smell was lingering from the frypan that wasn't washed yet.  Made up chicken broth to go with my shake, it was good to have something warm to drink.  Remember the runny jello I made a couple days ago,  not nearly as good semi congealed, had to toss the rest of it.  Yuck. 

Hugs, Kathy

Oh Kathy, you are sooo close! Yay! I'm so excited for you. Hang in there....pretty soon 55 will turn into 22 and then 11 and then...NONE!   It is all worth it and I know with your positive attitude you can do it!

Hugs,

I got in one of 'those' moods and needed to see that the end was arriving.  Thanks for the support Sukie.  I really appreciate it.

Keep it up Kathy, We are getting there. I would love to sleep I keep tossing and turning my mind is on tings that still have to be done (bills and kids) but time is starting to finally go faster. I have around 5 more pounds to lose I have gotten stuck but still pushing hard.

I tossed for a couple of days too,  needed a couple of benadryl to rest when I was really wired up.  The exercise helps to keep me calm too.  Thanks for your support.

That last 5 lbs... just tell it who is boss and kick its butt! Walk a bit extra if you can. Also the more water you get in the more it helps!

Hi Kathy!

55 protein shakes?!?  YUCK!  I can't even think about one of them!  LOL!

I'm very excited for you; only 12 more days and you'll be on the other side!
