  9. so i thought it would be better at work.......... WRONG!!!!!!!! not really but i am torn in half... i actually took a friend to lunch and he had 4 chicken sandwiches from McD and i was actually not dying there.. i cae back and had my LARGE Jello i made and my shake... which was good but now its 4:30 and i think i could chew my arm off if i wouldnt make a mess! haha JK i get to eat cream based Soup which is nice i found some new kind that is really filling..... i also did get my pre-op call from the office today and they told me i have to do a poo poo drink for dinner thursday before surgery... which means i will get NO sleep i bet unless its sitting up on the potty.
  10. I am too at liquid stage (surgery is Friday). I am doing good also. Adkins makes a Carmel coffee shake that is amazing!!!! This weekend I cleaned and tried to keep busy!!! Yogurt, Jello and Popsicles are by friend! I think work will be a breeze I don't much snack there but the watching tv and lounging at home is killing me to want something I also cleaned out the pantry of things I am giving my mom (stuff that will go bad before I could think of eating again) I also spent Saturday baking cookies! The surgery department is like family (mom works there) and I bake all the time for them... That was hard not just trying one. I have to make my orange cream cake Thursday before surgery. God help me lol
