I am using all my self control right now not to go to McD's for a burger, taco bell for a burrito, kentucy fried chicken for mashed potatoes and corn, pizza hut for breadsticks, etc etc. That's whats on my mind!

I am feeling so hungry for some real food. It has been torture smelling anything thats being cooked around me. Yesterday when the family stopped to get sandwichs for a trip we were taking...I bought a high protein bar....it was GOOD! I chewed it slowly to enjoy each itty bit.

I've been chewing alot of sugarfree gum and drinking alot of crystal light.

Today is the last day I can have shakes...tomorrow and until surgery it's only clear liquids. Damn, I am gonna be even more hungry! AUGH...looking forward to getting the surgery over with. I'm daydreaming already about what mushies I'll have in a couple weeks.

I started having bad dreams the last couple nights. I'm nervous and excited about Tuesday....guess that's where their coming from.

Surprisingly, my moods have been ok...not biting anyones head off like I'd worried about. I spend free time reading, watching tv, and reading the lapbandtalk forums. They have really helped me throughout this whole process so far.

I'm down 10 pounds...which I'm eager to show the surgeon but know it

will go back up once I start eating again. I'm glad I could accomplish

it before surgery like I was told to....I had had my doubts.
