One week

Nov 04, 2015

By this time next week, I should be out of surgery.  I'm not nervous so much as I am anxious.  I hope this week flies by because so far, the days have been dragging!  I've been having intense food cravings the past few days after a week without any good food.  lol  I'm getting mighty burnt out on protein shakes.  I did, however, try the cinnamon roll shake recipe and it was insane how much it actually tasted like a cinnamon roll!  I was shocked.  A lot of the recipes I have found have too many calories, so I've had to go through and calculate each recipe's nutritional content and it's been annoying - especially when I find a recipe that sounds amazing and by the end of the calculations, I find that it has too many calories, etc.  Oye, it's painful!  Halloween passed and I have done really well.  The only things I really wanted were Reeses PB Cups, Snickers, and Cupcakes.  lol  I didn't touch a single one though!  :)  

I can't wait to get to the post surgery time when I can have more variety.  I'm looking forward to some puree'd tuna noodle casserole - Angela style!  I know it will be a while before that can happen, but ohhhhh I can't wait.  :p  I found some little bowls that are measured out as 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup.  I think those will be quite helpful, so I was happy to find them.  They are glass, which is important to me... I hate plastic food containers etc.  I haven't weighed in since last week so I don't know where I am as far as pre-op weight loss, but my husband says he sees the loss.... I can't really SEE it, but I can feel it when I put on my pants and my hoodie is quite a bit baggier.  :D  Things are coming along and I anticipate (and hope for) a wonderful outcome.  :D  

I told my best friend last night about the surgery.... I was really scared to, but I did.  She was supportive in the fact that she didn't say anything negative, just asked a lot of questions.  It was nice to let somebody near and dear to me know what I am up to.  I am a recluse and hate to leave my house, so it was quite a proud moment when I went over to her house for a coloring date.  We like to get together and color in our coloring books and watch Spongebob Squarepants and movies etc.  We have been coloring as adults for over 10 years.... As she says, "We liked adult coloring before it was cool!"  A lot of adults are embracing coloring these days and it's great for them and great for us because we get more book variety!  :D  

But anyway, one week to go!
