Wow, 20 more days! I can't believe it. Next week, I'll be in the teens!

I'm enjoying a diet coke this morning. I know I won't be able to have it after surgery, and I have pretty much given them up. But this morning, I wanted the "last diet coke". I guess you could call it my farewell drink. I am enjoying every sip of this coke. Its a strong, cold drink, I love it! I drink it and my eyes even water. Man, its good this morning.

Eating has been pretty good. Last night we were at my sister in laws for dinner, I did really good, No bread on the meat....EXCEPT, she brings out the dessert.

I ended up having 2 tiny choco chip cookies, then a spoonful of this chocolate pudding dish she made. In the past I would have eaten 5 or 6 cookies, and a big bowl of the pudding. So, I think I did okay.

YOU DID GREAT!!!! HANG IN THERE

just think how much easier it is going to be post op now that you've started making changes ...

i was a diet (cherry) coke-aholic pre-band ... my surgeon did say i could TRY it a few weeks out ... i tried it and it didnt even taste the same so i havent tried it again ... ehhh... i'll stick w/ my crystal light.
