Yesterday I went on a walk for the Diabetes Foundation with some other employees and residents of John's community, Tallgrass Creek. It was a 3 mile walk down by the Plaza on the Missouri side. Shelli picked me up at 7:15 and than we went to the community to pick up Tom and Judy and than on to the walk. We thought there was a 1.5 mile and than the 3 mile. Well we were wrong it was a 3 mile walk. Shelli and I walked over 2.5 miles and we cut off back to the park. Tom and Judy went about .5 mile and than turned back. They had only planned on doing 1 mile. We all had fun, got free t-shirts and other stuff.

Later in the day I started to read other blogs about the pre-op diet. It seems there are a million out there. Doctors what their own for their patients. I was concerned about the number of carbs I was getting each day, because the diet needs to be low fat, sugar and carbs. The drink I have has 14 carbs each x 2 or 28 in my protein drinks. The Healthy Choice steamers have between 25-45 carbs so I was afraid that was to much. But I was still loosing weight. The doctor had suggested Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers meals. The carbs in these were more than what I was eating, so I decided I was fine. Just don't want anything to hinder the surgery and my recovery. I was eating sherbert but it had 45 in 1/2 cut so I cut it out. Will do the pop sickles instead.
