It's been a long weekend. Hope all my April peeps are doing good and had a great weekend. Did a impromptu night shift that has me thrown off. My son goes tomorrow and visits his grandparents and uncle who he hasn't saw in about 2 years for a few days. Tuesday is my bday and hopefully can unwind with the hubby a bit. He's still pretty immobile but he's feeling ok. Would kinda like to go try on some clothes but I don't wanna buy until I'm closer to goal. Keep wearing the sag :)

Finishing up a new baby quilt for a neighbor and got asked about commissioning me to make one for someone else. Wish I could make this my job!!! Hope y'all are all doing good!!!

Spent the last two days getting the outside ready for my daughters vrad party. It has been great weather for working outside. Painted most of the garage, burned all of the old wood, and power washed the patio and painted the picnic table. Oh yeah and I started the day with a mile walk video, in my new shoes. Only a mile, but it is a start. My back is horrible right now but im hoping I just overdid it today and it will be better tomorrow. Feels good to get stuff done that needs to be done.

So my day consisted of my old employer calling me to come in tomorrow morning and speak to her about coming back to do visual. As messed up as my back is yea right we will see. Therapy sucked balls. Got thrown back into traction on my neck after we worked on my back. As my pt put it I need a new spine! Best patty of the day was my hubby grilling a perfectly need rare ribeye for us to share.

The major shedding had a

Slowed down. But they also tweaked one of my thyroid meds so that's one of the reasons why it's not falling out in clumps. Now if all my bald spots would grow back fast id be happy!

      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.
