Sorry I've been missing in action. I've been doing the video blog on youtube and neglecting this page. Well i had my first Dr. appt and was allowed to move to stage 3...YEAH!!! I also found out that I had lost my first 20lbs. I am so psyched about that. One of my mini goals was to lose 25lbs and I'm just about there. I've had a good time experimenting with tuna fish...I've used mustard and even italian dressing to make it moister. I've eaten some chicken and potatoes, sweet and white. It felt wierd to get full off of 2oz of food, but I like the feeling. Check out my video blog on youtube if you get a chance..  www.youtube.com/rosta757.   Dueces for now.

Well my dang shoulder is still killing me but I'll survive. I know some people may fuss at me for this, but I drove to the store today to get more protein and to make sure the kids would be fed for the week. I know, bad girl, but a mama has got to do what a mamas gotta do. I also made a video blog too, if anyone wants to check me out on it...its   http://www.youtube.com/user/rosta757 so come and check me out.

So I was slipping and forgot to write the rest of my pre op diet days in. They actually all went well even with my husband coming in the house at 11 at night with frostys, french fries and big, juicy, mouth watering tripple patty burgers from Wendys and eating them in my face...,  I was able to still not be persuaded. I'm so very proud of myself.  Well I had my surgery yesterday and all is well with me. I had lost about 10 lbs on my liquid diet! I felt like I was on top of the world at that moment. Yesterday after my surgery I was a little sore but not too much to keep me from moving around. I spend plenty of time using the bathroom courtesy of all the iv fluids I had pumping into me. I even got up this morning and walked for 45 minutes in the hospital! I mainly walked to try and get this gas moving that's affecting my shoulder... no one told me about this dang shoulder pain and what to expect...ou wee it's pretty crucial. It actually hurts more than my surgery wounds. I'm actually thinking about putting up a video blog on youtube....what do ya'll think? I might give it a go. Well I'm gonna go and walk off some of this gas I have buiding up. I'll holla.....

Alright. I'm ending day four of my pre-op diet and I'm feeling fine as wine. I almost had a few setbacks though. This is definitely not easy. I made a pizza for my kids and I had to have my husband cut the dang thing because I felt myself about to snatch up a pepperoni and eat it. I'm not ready to put my self in the way of temptation...but I did do well.  Since there is not much to report, I'm calling this blog quits.

So.....day three is here and I'm feeling great. First off, I woke up this morning late for orientation for my daughters school, so I could only grab a bottle water and flavor packet to take with me. So from 9-12 all I had was some water but I was actually ok with that. I came home and ate some pudding and drank some chicken broth which is now my favorite thing in the world..lol. I found out that I had been taking in too much protein the past couple of days so I did cut down to exactly 20. I now know what kind of yogurt to get too. I was a litte ticked with myself because I had bought some steak chimichangas about a week ago and forgot to eat them, so I gave them to the kids.It hurt for a second but I got over it real quick. It always helps to have support of family and friends I realized. My mom and my good friend Amanda are doing this liquid diet with me. I would say they are a great support system as opposed to my husband who brings home some Wendys a few hours ago. In he comes with some chili, a burger, and some fries. I must admit he did think of me and brought me something home...a frosty. He figured since it was liquid, then I could have it. At least he tried. In the midst of all this I'm potty training my 2 yr old son. Talk about stressful. I'm taking everything one day at a time but I'm doing great. Another update to come tomorrow. This blogging thing is really great!

Ok, so its day two and I'm doing a lot better today than I did yesterday. I'm a little stumped cause I think I may be getting in too much fluid and too much protein.  I was told 64 and 20 g protein but I've been going way over that. I've had between 25-30gm of protein both days. I've been taking in about 120fl oz. Not sure it thats okay but I'll definitely be calling tomorrow to find out. I'm struggling with needing something filling in my belly. I feel like I need something in my stomach to make me full besides just these liquids. I was driving by McDonalds today, I felt an urge to turn in and get me a double cheeseburger. Luckily I didn't. My will power actually works! LOL. My oldest daughter has decided that she wants to diet with me which I think is great. Since she's only 10, I've told her that she should just eat healthier foods and watch her portions. She's been reading the labels on everything which I told her is a good idea. My mom is still hanging in there with me doing this liquid diet. I told her she can stop on Sunday and eat some real food for me. Well I'm gonna read a good book and go to bed. I'll be back tomorrow.

Today started the first day of my pre-op diet. I was sure I was going to die of hunger..lol. Luckily I'm still alive. I've decided to space out what I can have, for instance...day one..yogurt, broth, water....day 2, pudding, broth,water...day 3 jello, yogurt, water....something along those lines so that I don't get tired of anything in particular. My mother is doing the liquids with me this week to show her support. That really means alot and I'm so grateful to her for that. It was so hard to have to make a meal for my kids and not get to taste it. I was doing so bad that I only cooked one meal because I couldn't bear to be around yumminess that I couldn't eat. I did good today because I got all my protein in as well as all my required oz. It really feels good to have accomplished this one step. I'm looking forward to tomorrow...I pray it'll be a good day. Good night.
