I am on day six of my liquid diet before surgery on May 22, 2007. Every time someone eats it is hard not to take a nibble or just a little taste, but then I think no you are going to have surgery to change your life and I desperately need it. My back is bad, I have sleep apnea, and arthritis. I am going to follow the doctors orders to a T. I also have a dietician that held a class and explained everything thoroughly. Especially what would happen if you did certain things.

I am 16 days out from surgery I am on my pureed diet now. I am worried I have been nibbling on food I probably should not be having and I do not always puree it. I have got to stop doing this or my surgery will be for nothing. I see my family eat it so I figure I can try it. I want to lose this weight but some times I feel like a prisoner of certain foods. I am doing really good about not eating sweets of any sort not even nibbling. But I just have to remember to eat the pureed food and not like potato ole's from Taco John's.

Today is my birthday I told my family I wanted a bicycle for it so I could ride to do errands and get some exercise instead of driving the car and being lazy. I have been starting on an exercise program called the 1,2,3, and 4 mile walk at home you can get it at Wal Mart I think it is going to be a great contribution to my exercise plans. I also got some 3lb dumbbells so I could work my arms, shoulders, and back. I want to keep up with toning my body. When my mon had the GBS she had alot of excess skin but also she was quite a bit older than me. The only place I have the excess skin so far is on my belly and it is not much, but that has been a constant with excess skin on my belly because of four c-sections it did help much. I also started exercising to try and get my strength back from the two surgeries so close together. They really took alot out of me I have never been so weak in my life. My little boy who is 10 opens jars for me cause I just don't have the strength.

I totally understand the being weak-- chemo took a LOT out of me. I couldn't believe how weak I got.. just holding things like books was extremely tiring- Way to go on your diet and working on exercise :) That is so inspirational!
