Name Change for my blog

I just changed my blog title because now that I was getting closer to my WLS, I will be writing more about what is happening to me and how I feel about it.

It always did make me feel better to record my feelings on paper...I was the one with the 5 year diary who never had enough lines to say my piece for the day. Then came journals. And now it's much easier just to sit here and type.

Today I have been on my shakes diet for exactly a week. I feel like I have lost a little weight but as my scale isn't working right I'm not sure now much but I guess they will weigh me again before I have the surgery done. I am used to making the shakes now and have learned how to vary the taste with different additions. I had better. Protein shakes will be my friend for a long time.

I feel kinda low tonight. My brain doesn't seem to want to work. I am having to really think about things that I should be doing automatically and I am not talking as well because I keep stuttering and forgetting what I want to say.

Tomorrow I have to work and I dread it as usual because of my aches and pains. I didn't ride my bike because I had my clothes to get done and some running about to do. I had to buy more protein powder ($25 for 21 servings, a week) and I also found out how much my powdered ultra woman's vitamins were...$40 for 2 week supply. The iron capsules will last a month.

So you can see it is costing me money to eat right. But I'd rather sacrifice and get decent vitamins because I haven't had one bad stomach reaction, like I would usually have. Also I haven't had any problems with constipation which is what I feared once I was eating much less solid food.

Well here I sit and there are many dishes and pots in the sink. The microwave died and you never miss the convience until it's gone.

Not doing the dishes. I'm putting my foot down..at least for tonight
