I GOT THIS ~ don't be skeered

Rate this Entry
When I saw the doc last week he reminded me that I was to be on liquids until this Thursday. I ask if I could start early trying soft food since I go back to work on Thursday, he said ok. I didn't want to get to work Thursday with my little cooler with soft food none of which I could eat.

I don't think he meant I could start yesterday . . . I tried an egg yesterday morning. I managed 4 bites in about 30 minutes. I think I was skeered. I DO NOT want to throw up & yesterday was my g-daughters 2nd birthday party. I couldn't be sick for that. Before the party I had made some crock-pot chicken taco meat for the family. I took some of it with extra juice, used the emulsion blender on it. Oh my, it was some of that yummy being skeered of eating to much I shared it with my 8 month old g-daughter. We also had some avocado with lime juice on it. I'm pretty sure she ate more than me.

At the party I skipped all the sweets & just enjoyed the party. It didn't bother me at all that I didn't have cake. Last night I had some Activia light peach yogurt. I don't remember yogurt tasting that good.

I'm feeling blessed that the sleeve side has been gentle with me. Makes me feel like I definitely did the right thing by getting sleeved.

I'm not skeered ~ I GOT THIS ! ! !

    Every time I see a post "I got this" I know it's you...my inspiration I'm coming up behind you-only 3 more days. I'm more excited about time off from work (paid) than anything.
    Keep showing and telling me what to do!

    jrenee63, Thank you. I'm just being honest & open with what I'm doing. Maybe that will help somebody else on their journey.
    Oh and I have enjoyed my time off too. I'm ready to go back to work & see how "real" life will be.

    I want to thank you too. My surgery date is 9/20 and I am mostly in the place of 100% certain I'm doing the right thing, occassionally sprinkled with absolute, sheer terror. I had come across your posts and blogs a week or so ago. And now, when the doubt creeps in, I just say to myself "I Got This!". In fact, truth be told, I wrote it on a sticky note and stuck it to the monitor on my desk at work. Thanks for the inspiration.
