I've quit eating the jello entirely. I've switched to popsicles instead. Yummy. Of course if I had alternated from the beginning I might not have gotten so sick of the jello.

My aunt arrived this morning. She is the most horrible person in the world!!!! She brought DIVINITY with her for my mom. That is just cruel. Divinity is THE best candy in the world and extremely hard to make. Which is why my mom & I never try to make it. The last time I think we screwed up 3 batches before we got it right. Mom & my aunt keep eating pieces and telling me how bad it is. Yeah right,:mad: I am so sure. (in my head that came out in a "valleygirl" voice. Which I do very well). Then they went out to eat, I stayed home. That's ok, they went to an Italian place that I dont' really care for.

Well, my surgery is the day after tomorrow. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I'm a pessimist and slightly paranoid, if I think about it too much then I'll just think about everything that could go wrong. I'm trying hard to hang on to my happy thoughts.

Wow girl! I looked back at your entries and you have done fabulous with the liquid diet - isn't it awesome when we can 'avoid' and tell ourselves 'no' to food? THAT girl is the start of something good! Way to go! Imagine after you have the band? No one will recognize you!!! You'll look awesome -and inside you'll know you turned down candy, etc. and it will show on your healthier body! Congrats!

You are almost there, just hold on. Try on a t shirt that really fits and make that your measuring tool. Once the weight begins to slowly slide off, you will see that t shirt get looser and looser. That will be your greatest reward for not have Divinity. Huggggssss
