Oh my, started back on all liquids today. Fun Fun Fun!
Lucky for me Sam and William came over and that really helped keep my mind off things even though I cooked dinner for them LOL. Something I don't really like, was looking mighty tasty tonight :)
I am soooooooo tired, I have not been sleeping well at all. I am getting muscle spasms which I do when I am under stress and that wakes me up a lot.
Only 2 more days........CRIKEY that is hard to believe!

Mostly liquid diet day 12
Today was not a good "nutrition day", I was out of protein powder, I had NO protein drinks and I had to run around like a chicken with my head cut off today.
Long story short, I had dinner at about 6pm.
After we went out to Walmart and then DQ after. Ok, so I admit, I am having the hardest time with the fact that I may never ever be able to enjoy sweets again. I am really like an adict and the thought of living like another 40+ years without having say, a shake again, Holy crap! I had a shake and I got full very easy, that surprised me, it tasted soooooooooooo good, I guess the fact it may be my last and it was so darn hot outside and I was sooooooooooo thirsty. Anyway, it is over and done with tomorrow I start back on my all liquid diet til Tues. I do feel bad I had it a little anyway :)

Mostly liquid diet day 11
I knew today was going to be a bad day.
Last night or should I say early this am like 4am or so I got such a terrible headache it woke me up!
I had it ALL day, to the point where it was almost a migraine. I was nauseous and everything! I think I did too much running around in the heat yesterday and not enough hydration! That will teach me huh?
So, it finally went away after Leanza and I took a nap together (and I drank enough fluids to float a small vessel!)
I was really trying to make it a point to not mention much else other than my gb experience but I can not help this one:
While we were enjoying the always wonderful company of Sam and William the phone rings, it is Emily in CA, she is calling to tell us that Michael Jackson has DIED!!!!!!!!!!
As Emily would say, that just blew my day! I am shocked, saddened and stunned, I loved him, ever since I was a kid as matter of fact. Hey, I even had a replica of his red leather jacket with the zippers at one point! Today, we truly did lose a music legend. RIP Michael.

Whoa, where does the time go?
I sat down to fill in my blog tonight and realized I have missed 3 days!!!
I am starting to get a bit frantic and having some "nesting" syndrome, wierd I know.
I am thinking about shopping for this week, what will Leanza take to Mama Sams, what do I need for when I come home, what will Julio and Leanza need? I cleaned out the fridge and stocked the pantry....
I guess I am doing ok. It has just sort of become a "routine" for me now. On Sat I have to start back to the NOTHING BUT LIQUIDS for 3 days.
On Tuesday I had to go to my PCP for my pre op tests. My EKG was great, my physical was great, I had to go get blood work and a chest X ray done. Have not heard about those results but I don't expect anything to be wrong. I was a little late picking up Leanza at school, I was at the establishment for over 3 hrs but at least everything is done!
Today the hospital called they had some questions and they were putting all my info in the computer.
I can't believe this is going to happen...My primary care knows my surgeon well she told me to give him a big hug when I saw him and I said, "You know what? When I am awake and I see Julio standing there and not my Dad or Grandparents, THEN I will give him a big hug!" LOL Had too add a little humor, helps ease the nerves.

Mostly liquid diet day 7
6/21/09
Ok, so here was a first test to being good during a "celebration".
Tonight for dinner on Fathers day I made steak, kabobs, crabcakes, and lobster tails with a cheesecake and strawberries on top for dessert.
The crabcakes had too much "bread" in them so I stuck to the steak. The lobster tails were just for Julio they are his favorite. For dessert, ok I admit I stole a taste of the cheesecake but instead of a slab I had a dulce de leche SUGAR FREE Jello pudding (Thanks Sam!). YUMMMMMY! That is awesome and you don't feel like you are missing out either. Go Jello Go Jello! :)
It is going to be an early night tonight for ALL of us!

Mostly liquid diet day 6

My body is really trying to get back at me for all of this!
One surprise after another.
Tomorrow I have to try and get up enough energy to get out to do some shopping for fathers day.
We will see.
Today I was really wiped out. Thankfully I had Sam to help me! Love you Sam!
