STARVING

Okay, so liquid diets are NOT FUN. I am starving. Every food that has been heated up at the office for lunch today smells amazing - even Steve's broccoli and cauliflower steamer. Artie had been on the pre-op diet with me, but he called this afternoon to say he "cheated" and ate lunch. On the bright side, he's lost 8 lbs in 2 days and I've lost 7, so obviously the shakes are working.
Logan's band concert last night was very cute. The music was better than I expected and he looked adorable in his white shirt, tie, and black dress pants. I can't believe he's getting so "mature" - at least in appearance. LOL

Oh well, back to my shake.

Countdown to Surgery

13 days now until surgery. Countdown time! I started the liquid diet yesterday and boy, I'm starving! I didn't realize how much my day/thoughts revolved around food until now. I apparently start thinking about "what's for dinner?" at around 11 or 12 every day. LOL And this week it's protein shakes for dinner .. and breakfast .. and lunch ...

I had my pre-op visit with Dr. Boyce's office yesterday, and registered at Parkwest. What a nice hospital and staff! I toured the bariatric wing and Jessica, the hospital coordinator, was very nice to give me an impromptu tour! The rooms seem large and comfortable.

I am getting nervous about the upcoming events. Partly because of being operated on; partly because of stress at work and worries about being out; partly because of this liquid diet. At least I do get to eat real food on Thanksgiving Day.

Tonight Logan has his very first band concert. He is very excited about it. I can't wait to see him perform.
