BYOC better late than never :)

Moved this weekend so I had na access to my comp sinec I haven't finished unpacking! So here I go....





BYOC is 5 little questions – some funny, some serious – that we answer to get to know each other better and it’s a free blog topic for Fridays when our blog brains are fried before the weekend! Feel free to join us! Post the questions and answers in your own blog!




1. Seeing that it’s a patriotic holiday of sorts I thought of this one: Where were you on September 11th?•


I was at home getting ready for work when I turned on my TV and saw what had just happened. My boss was supposed to fly that morning from LAX to Denver, so I got really worried for him since I still didn't know what was really going on.




2. What is your idea of fun? If given the chance to skip work/life for an entire day, what would you do? (assume you’d be by yourself)•


We just moved this past weekend so I am so tired, that if I could I would just stay home & sleep all day long. :)




3. Suggestion from a follower. Some blog questions. How many blogs do you follow? I follow 41! Do you read them all or just your faves? I started reading one by one from beggining to end, so far it's 6 that I have read that way. That my dear friends is why I really don't comment on the daily ones, kuz I am reading one persons at a time. I thought this was the best way to go, but then maybe not so, since I don;t end up reading the newest posts of everyone else. And then with this move I am soooo behind on everything. So now what I will try to do is read the current blogs and the little by little read one at a time but make sure I am up to date on everyone. So you all don't think I am not worthy of being followed since I don't comment you all! I will get to you soon. Pinky promise. :)

Do you comment a little, a lot, on all? I do try to comment on the ones I read to let them know that I was there, I leave my mark lol. Have you ever unfollowed someone because of something they said or you didn’t like their blog? Nope, haven't had a reason to. Do you routinely unfollow and why? Diddo to the last answer.

4. Repeat question. Pick one day and one healthy thing you’ll do for just that day next week.

Being that I have been stuck at home the long weekend, no time to exercise, no walking no nada, I will go for a 30 minute walk tomorrow, the day before my surgery. YAY so excited about that.

.5. Repeat "Make someone a superstar" question. Whose blog or blog comment stuck with you this week and why?
I gotta say each and every single blog that I have read here. A few weeks ago I was so scared about my surgery, and thanks to being able to read everyones progress, & struggles, see the before & after pix, learning how to go about the process thru all of you that have had it done already. All of you are my SUPERSTARS!
Special thanx to Fiona, Carmen, Miss Tori, Meli, Summer, Grace, River, & Amandakiska for the encouraging while I am going thru this ugh liquid diet!

Ready for my preop liquid diet :)

So this is it! As of tomorrow I am only allowed to have liquids, I was told that I could have protein shakes, juices, water, soups (just the liquid), & broth.

I forgot to ask them if I have to be under x amount of calories, or how much protein per day.

How was your liquid diets? What did it consist of?

Since last Thursday I have been only having one meal a day & drinking protein shakes, water & isopure the rest of the day. I am actually shocked that I have been able to maintain that with only one meal, as I am usually a very very hungry girl :).

I have been drinking the Kellogg's strawberry protein shakes, they are yummy! I also drink the carnation breakfast powder ones blended with a banana.

I need ideas so I don't get bored of the same ones. I ordered a couple of samples of the chikes? I think that is what they are called, we are moving so I packed them already so I can't check on the name.

Only one more week till the surgery! I am so excited!
