Weekends

Well I'm almost through the weekend and its been an adventure of control for sure.  We spent Friday evening with friends. We played some games but what made it a little difficult was the kids.  Carrie & Joey's kids were here as well and as usual wanted treats.  So we brought a bag of ketchup chips back for them.  Normally I would never think about them but since I can only have shakes & water the smell of them was overwhelming!!

I did get through it but it was a struggle and then Saturday was just agonizing.  I felt sick to my stomach, hungry, and tired all at once.  I couldn't get rid of the feeling with just water so I napped. It was the only way to eliminate the feeling.


I am very lucky that I love the shakes so far. Below is my life for the next 17 days. I haven't had to put any flavoring into the shakes yet which is good but I'm sure as the days go on I will need to.


I just need to remember that no matter how bad they taste they are making my surgery safer every day and helping me achieve what I have always wanted to in life and that is be healthy!
