Just wanted to make sure you knew that. Wherever you are on this journey, you are very special and totally unique right this moment. You have the right to love yourself and be patient with the process and find something today to reflect on and be happy.

Make space for yourself, between this moment and the next is space, an option to create each moment. We cannot do it all the time. But what if you do it twice a day? Later, a few more, come back to it again and again? What a phenominal gift to give yourself.

I want to share a dream I had with you. Just you. Everyone else can read it, but this is for YOU. :)

I dreamed I walked into a room, and was just amazed at what I saw. It was so beautiful. There were murals painted on the wall, artwork and carvings and woven baskets, pottery, clothing and hats. Cards and notes written on hand-made paper sat next to herbs and hand made soap, medicinal liquors and jars of honey. There was reclaimed furniture, painted, upholstered. Pillows and the window had suncatchers and orgami animals, wind chimes and papermache lanterns. Plants and veggies grew, frames held familiar faces, loved ones near and far. I looked around and became aware that this was all mine. Not "I own this". It was mine. At some point in my life I had made everything in this room. It was a really lucid dream, nothing was exaggerated, As I walked around I realized I had a note in my hand. It was from me to me. I opened it up and it said "live".

Namaste.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
