Sweet Baby Jesus! A Miracle!

Today has been full of wins for Steve the sleeve and I!

Win #1 - I decided to treat myself to a birthday coffee - win! Other than the fact that I order fat free sugar free and it was whole milk and tons of sugar (I only drank about 4 sips) it didn't bother my sleeve! Winning!

Win #2 - I've been having serious trouble getting my Protein and fluids in - it's no secret to anyone that has read any of my posts. So, imagine my surprise when I FINISHED my entire Atkins Protein Bar for Breakfast, then a couple hours later my entire 11oz Atkins Protein shake , and then for lunch I ate two fat free cheese sticks and 2oz of the same turkey that made me vomit last night.

Win #3 - I've got my protein in for the day, and I've got about 40oz of my fluids in WITHOUT nausea! I know it doesn't sound like much, but any of you who know how much I've been struggling with all of this will understand... It's the little things!

*does a happy dance while singing* Happy Birthday to me! I think I'll treat myself to a SF popsicle when I get home ;-)

Yay! So glad you were able to get that protein in and hold it down. Things are indeed looking up for you, congrats!! Happy Birthday!

:)

AWESOME!!!! I know those "little things" must seem huge to you! I definitely think a celebratory SF popsicle is warranted! Hope it all just keeps getting better and better for you!

I got my surgery date yesterday - March 20! Can't wait to join you on the loser's bench!

I'm dancing signing you Happy Birthday!. This is your first NSV! Congrats! Keep it up! ;)

Happy Birthday! And yes, those little things mean the world! For instance - last night I took my chewable multi's and for the first time, they made me slightly nauseous. I was bummed that it started happening, but a little voice in my head said, "Remember, sf popsicles fix everything!" I remembered that from your youtube video. So I had a sf popsicle and it totally took the nausea away!!! It was like a little miracle. :)
