gamergirl...I love reading your posts & your blogs!!! You are REAL and that is what I love. I've noticed it helps me when feeling down to write, to read, to just do something that I enjoy and the feeling sometimes passes. Chin up, you are doing great and keep the comments coming!

You need to take some "me" time and so does your hubby. Look at pictures that you have with family members. Take a walk down memory lane. Take a drive in the country and listen to the birds sing. Those would be my happy places to go to. You are in my prayers....... and remember "this to shall pass". :-)

OhMGeez I never laughed so hard.. Love the Remember when they told you not to run with scissors!! The Lightsauber, my fav I am here to avenge my father You dont have six fingers on your right hand do you?? blahahahaha thanks for a great start to a good weekend!!

Out of the mouths of babes......

It's funny because I had the same think happening to me. I was not afraid of the surgery or the pain . I was afraid of loosing control during anestesia. I asked my doctor to let me now when i'll be put under and he said SURE! So beeng on th OP table he kept asking me about my work and I went to sleep probably in the midle of the first sentence.

Love it! Printed this out. Thank you

You are an amazing person who has been through so much! It was my pleasure to meet you and hear your stories first hand! You have a ray of sunshine that beams from you and that is quite contagious!! Im glad to have a new friend on this journey and I'm glad that friend is YOU! You look fabulous and i look forward to hearing more of your stories. Take time for you, discover something that you love to do just for YOU, 'cause you deserve it!!

You could try saying you are on a strict doctor supervised diet and would appreciate their support. Then, if they push the food, just say "No thank you." You shouldn't have to pretend you are eating/drinking and you shouldn't have to divulge your medical situation. Just be consistent. It is odd you aren't able to eat eggs. I have been on this board for more than 20 months and no one has said eggs are forbidden. From what I can tell, the other nutritionists including mine have said eggs in any form are acceptable at that stage. Oh well.

Way to go...just reading your post describes me to a T. I start my 2 weeks of liquids on 8/26.

WOW, well done, pal... well done. You got your head right and will be a winner (a loser!!!) We CAN have fun without 90% of the fun being food and drink! I was just in NYC this weekend for "Kinky Boots" (and see it when you can) and was in a group of 4 and stuck with the plan. And I had fun!!! You should (IMHO) cross-post this on the main board in pre-surgical!!!!!
