1-more day

I made it almost an entire week on full liquids. Only 1 more day to go. I never thought it would be as easy as it has been. I am not "enjoying" it, but I have stuck to the rules to the letter. I can't imagine going through all of this and cheating. Who would I be cheating - no one but myself.

 

Sunday is the clear liquid day. And then, and then, and then, my re-birth day. When I tell people that my surgery is actually on my birthday they think I am nuts. But I couldn't think of a better gift to give myself.

 

To all of you who have had the surgery and found your "sweet spot", congrats. To those of us getting ready for the surgery I wish us all the best of luck - we have a long, hard road coming. But if I have the will power and strength to carry on and get it right, so do you all.

 

To all my bandsters out there, I wish you a life of happiness and good health.

I know you are so excited, we all are for you! It so seems like a long time till you have the surgery, then you have more liquids, but you will not feel the hunger pains after the surgery, at least I did not, but I "Thought" I was hungry, LOL. Prayers for you and the Surgery Date for your Re-Birth on you Birthday, Happy Birthday to YOU! Yeah!

CONGRATS to you, you are doing so well.. having full liquids is not as bad as we think.. And once you have gone your full 2 weeks of this before your surgery, then a few more weeks after it will be a month in all, but you will survive I assure you.. You will be supprised at what you can puree in a blender. lol.. Happy Birthday & Happy Re-Birthday to you also.. That's what I have called mine from day one....
