I am doing pretty good..other then the fact that i am not getting all my water in....it is driving me crazy..i try soo many different ways to get it in...but seem to have trouble with it.....oh well tomorrow is a new day...i will try my best to get all the water in that i need....

I have 4 more days on my full fluids  ...cant wait till thurs..when i can start eating normal soft foods....i know it will be small amounts....but thats the way it has to be....umm..wonder what i will have first..LOL>.
well i am off to read the forum..will post more later...

I had surgery on nov 19th, 09    SW was 360   HW 364  and today i had my staples removed and my CW is 352....I have soo much more energy then i have had in soo long.....i dont as winded walking up and down stairs  or walking around the block..i am very excited about that....i walk a little further each day.....last wk..i didnt take it easy as much as i should..i went out shopping and did a bit of visiting..not enough resting and doing nothing...so this week..i been resting alot....doing the bare minimuimm....
i have a few more days on my clear fluid only diet..and really getting sick on broth....not really getting sick of jello....but it will be nice to start having a different variety of things to eat....i do have to admit..i have been bad since surgery  maybe i am just testing..but i have eaten stuff i shouldnt...and man i feel crappy after having it....so .....now i know.....STOP nibbling..only eat what i am told to eat.....

Anyways..i am doing well..and will try to keep up with my blogs more regularily....

Well i thought today was going to be very hard for me....it is day three of my Optifast  and I had a 50th wedding anniversary open house and dinner to attend......with all the food around..i thought for sure i would mess up....but i survived....i took my water and crystal light to drink  and my Optifast for dinner....sure i sat and smelt all the delicious food..and seen it alll....but I was really good..and did not eat a single thing..I did have lots of help from family..helping with getting food for my younger kids..and cutting it up for them....cause i know  if i was to do that...i would of put a piece of something in my mouth.....my hardst party would of been the cake..cause i am one that really enjoys cake..not just one or 2 pieces...but i would keep going back and nibbling....way to much....and today...not one bite.......i stayed away from the food tables all together.....and when they brought the chocolate fountain out with all the goodies to run thru it...i looked at it from a distance...LOL>..i am very proud of myself for being able to do this...i know i still have 14 days till surgery...and i am sure i will have a hard day or 2...but it is something i have to do...so i will do it.....

oh tomorrow will be another challenge.....we are going to the Mandarin for lunch....Optifast and crystal lite will be in hand and ready to help me thru....

I survived day 2 on Opifast....did great all day till i went and got gas.....gggggggrrrrrrrrrr.....i bought a bottle of water....then...the candy bar and ice cream called out my name...i bought one of each....i knew in the back of my mind..dont eat it  dont eat it...but i did.....it didnt taste as good as i thought it would....  OH well..I will just start

anyways....the rest of the day has gone well.....but i know i am not getting enough water in...i just bought some crystal light...maybe flavouring the water will help me want to drink more of it...

Well i have a big day tomorrow..it will be a challenging day..i have my parents 50th wedding anniversary open house and dinner..and since i am on the Optifast...i can not have anything else to eat....it will be hard...but i am sure i will have enough family support there to help me thru....it will just be strange  drinking my shake when everyone else i having roast beef mashed potatoes...veggies...pie and cake....
BUT i will do it...I have to do it..if i want the surgery to succeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish me luck...Nite

Man oh man..i thought it was going to be a tough day...not being able to eat any food....only having the 4 Opitfast shakes a day and water water water...but i have survived day number one....i did have a few things that were very tempting...like making lunch for the kids....i normally nibble...well i made them without nibbling.....and while at work today....(i do house cleaning)..the kids had left a bunch of there halloween candy out..and normally i would have a few..but not today..i was strong..and didnt have any.....
I did have a hard time this afternoon..when i got back from cleaning..cause that is my main time for snackin on whatever is around.....and not just on one thing..could be 3 or 5..depending how bored i am....but i just had a glass of water..and watched tv..took my mind off of eating.....

Hope tomorrow goes as well as today....Wish me luck...

I have a date set for surgery  it is Nov 19th . On Thurs Nov 5th I have to start taking  Optifast supplement..It isgoing to be so hard..sure i have started having smaller portions when i eat..but to cut food out all together is gonna be tough.. The toughest thing is going to be...going to my parents 50th  anniversary dinner  and seeing all the food..and not having a bite of it..I have told different family members to help me out .....but i know it will be tough..
this is my first day writing on here.  so not sure what to say......Oh and having all the candy from halloween around is tough too..i have asked family members to stash it all...and i will try realll hard not to search for it...so far soo good....lol

will keep you posted on how i am feeling and how my wk goes..take care
