I just love how folks are living their lives these days. So often I think of the time I wasted by being sick and obese. But then I say to myself that I wouldn't be the person I am today without going through the darkness to come out into the light.

Today, my friend and I are going to Lincoln Center to see Giselle. It's one of my most favorite ballets and today, I can just enjoy it without worrying about the things that I used to think about like being able to get a cab because now I can get around town by subway just as easily as pie these days. I can walk up that beautiful staircase of the Metropolitan Opera House instead of having to take the elevator. We can stroll over to Columbus Circle after the ballet and I won't be struggling to walk.

We'll go to Mari Vanna tonight for yummy Russian food and I know I'll enjoy it without overeating. I'll walk out of that restaurant with my head held high and totally in control over choices and portions. Then when I wake up tomorrow, I won't feel horrible and guilty for once again, not being able to control myself.

Life is good. Have a great Saturday everyone and hopefully you are enjoying weather that is as spectacular as we are having here in NYC.

PS: If I get a chance, I'll take a picture of The Met and the fountain and upload it for you guys. If anyone remembers Moonstruck, that's where Cher and Nicholas Cage met up before seeing La Boheme.

I agree with Gowalking life is good. It's funny though I didn't realize how good life could be till my band lol. Always thought I had a good life even with the extra weight but it's better now hard to explain but it and I know you all understand in a way no one else can !!!

I mean my inner circle of friends are the same I'm the same inside but it's better :)

I had another birthday celebration last night with my closest girlfriends and their adorable babies. And we all commented how things have changed for all of us the three of them motherhood and me mehood lol. Two years ago a birthday celebration would involve lots of food and drinking at a bar club restaurant etc. Last night we did take out a quiet night in with great company as I drank my warm Water (band was not happy due to stress from a home improvement project) side note I know that my band wants me to be happy cause when I'm stressed and unhappy it is too:(

and it was the best birthday to date. I spent the day/night with closet girlfriends and the babies. Rocked my bday tiara with the goofy decorations loved my Disney princess sparkle like a princess decorations :) and that's what I'm doing sparkling smiling glueing with happiness it's all the same!!

And looking at the pictures of me from last night still can't believe that's me so much as changed in a year.

      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.
