Surgery and Other Stuff

I have my surgery scheduled for Wednesday, August 21 at 1:30pm. It was the first opening they had. Therefore, I will suffer, poop and have attacks until then. Ha! They tell you to eat a "low fat" diet and no fried foods. HOWEVER, anyone who has ever had gallbladder problems will tell you that even if you eat PERFECTLY.... you can still have an attack. That's just the way it goes. I have found that plain noodles do not bother me. Neither do crackers. Unfortunately all I am doing is getting a lot of carbs.... but until the 21st (and even after) it is what I have to do to hopefully avoid severe pain in my abdomen and back.

Friday Weigh In:
WI: +1.4
Total Pounds Lost: 3.0
Pounds to Lose: 100.2

That really wasn't an expected gain, but it happened. Not being able to go to the bathroom and eat properly has thrown my body out of whack. I'm not really concerned about it.

This whole gallbladder things sucks, but one good thing will come of it! Tonight we are going to the State Fair because we have tickets to see Head East, Styx and REO Speedwagon. While at the fair, I cannot eat ANY fair food. It is all fried and icky. Now, I will be tempted and feel like I'm being cheated, but I don't need any of that crap. So, I am going to save a few points for a couple of beers (because alcohol doesn't seem to bother me at all) and that's it! I will probably pack a couple of snacks (crackers) in my purse.

This morning I had to follow my husband to Sundown so they could troubleshoot his car stereo (he has all that fancy stuff with the big subs in the trunk and it wasn't working) and I decided that the dogs needed to go with. Well, on the way home both dogs decided that Andrew was the perfect seat companion and it was hilarious because Hyatt is not a lap dog!

Hyatt wants to be like Caesar. He wants to be able to snuggle up in your lap. It's so cute. 

Last night Andrew and I played LIFE and apparently Hobbs wanted to play too. It wasn't long after that when Rhea decided she needed to be a part of the family fun too and she laid right on top of the board and starting smacking Andrew's car with his family all over the board. It was hilarious. 

Breakfast this morning: 2 HB eggs, 2 lean turkey sausages, Skinny Latte. Thankfully none of that bothered my gallbladder!

Well, those are my only updates for the day. I will probably take some pictures tonight at the fair and do an update tomorrow on how I did and how the concert was! I have already seen REO Speedwagon in concert so I know they do a great job. I'm excited to see them again! Plus, my mom won backstage passes off a radio station so hopefully we get to meet them!!!

 Make it a good day friends!!
