Eight is Grrreat!

Okay, so aspects of it are great.

1. As of this morning, I'm down 10.6 pounds! YAH liquid diet....you're good for something!
2. I really feel like I've conquered this liquid diet. I find that now when I get hungry it's usually time to eat (drink) something, so that's really good and I'm absolutely in love with Slim Fast Optima Chocolate Royale (powder form). I mix it in the blender with 1 cup of skim milk and 1/2 cup of ice and completely trick myself into thinking I'm drinking a milkshake. CRAZY.

Now for the bad...still sick! Can't believe it but I was up from 3-4:30am with a horrible ear infection and a stabbing sore throat pain. I feel a bit better today, but it's still there. I have an appt with my Primary in the morning to figure out what he can give me that is "I'm being cut open in a week" friendly. I can't imagine if I have to postpone from being sick, won't even allow myself to think about it. Positive thinking = feeling better!

Cannot believe that surgery is in less than a week!!! WHOO FRIGGIN' HOO!!

Thanks to those who are reading for your support, it's nice to be in this with others. ;-)
