Today was a good day...I went walking again at the mall with a friend and we did 2 miles:clap2: !! I need to loose the last 5 pounds!!! I felt great today! No dizziness!!:clap2: I started my liquid diet. I had a vanilla Atkins shake (it wasn't that bad once it's cold!!) for breakfast...A cookies and cream one for lunch (it was too sweet for me) and had a very small dinner...My biggest downfall is having to cook for my family. EVERYTHING smells so good!! You take that for granted when you can eat what you want when you want...:faint: Anyway...all is well and for a GREAT cause..ME!!!!! Tomorrow my pre-op testing!!! I can't wait! The sooner it's done the closer my surgery gets!!! I'm off to do my "ball excercises"!!!

i mix my shakes in the blender with a lot of ice, then pour them over ice--really helps them taste better-whatever the brand you use. (i use optifast--which i get from the dr's office; i like the premixed chocolate).

good luck on your upcoming surgery!

That's a good idea...See, when it comes to drinks I guess I only got "creative" with the kids..Me, I only open can and drink..I need to spice them up!!! Thanks for the advice!!
