This weekend ...

So my three day liquid diet begins on Friday. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 AM Monday for my 7:30 AM surgery...my husband and daughter are very busy this weekend and I'm looking for things to do-other than just cleaning the house-to keep myself occupied and my mind off food! I am seriously debating doing a major overhaul on my bedroom closet--eliminating all the size 18/20 pants and size 1 and 2/X shirts...what do y'all think? Do it now? Or wait a few weeks and enjoy trying them all on and watching them fall off me (God willing!)

I suggest saving one or two items that you wore all the time that are your largest sizes for sure.

The fun of trying those on six months from now is well worth it! I have a pair (my largest size pants) of 24. I am currently in a 14 and those /4 literally fall off my body. It's always fun to do a fashion show for my family. They see me everyday and sometimes forget how sick I was. It's a good reminder to never get to that point again. Also keep a shirt or two for the same reason. I have always bought my shirts one size larger because my upper arms were really big and almost everything I bought the sleeves were too tight.

Good luck with your pre op diet, you are lucky it is only 3 days. I was 2 weeks.

I hope you have a safe surgery and very speedy recovery. Good luck on Monday!

P.S. Try reading a good book this weekend, taking a nice hot bath and listening to music. It makes time go by and really relaxes you as you head into Monday.

@@Djmohr - thank you that is a good idea! And yes, I am very lucky to only need to do 3 days clear liquids!
