Last night I went to Wal-Mart (I hate that place) and picked up some accoutrements for my post-surgical food prep and ran into an old acquaintance from high school. Small world, big city.
Uhm, I also got some pool chemicals because it's been raining so much that no matter how much chlorine I put in there it stays green. Disgusting. It's raining right now in fact. Who said living at the beach was a good idea?
Anywho, on with surgery. Uhm....am I scared about surgery? No, not really. Watching the videos by this girl "Amelia" who's got her bypass journey documented on youtube. I will post one of her videos below. She's very honest and open about her post-surgical life and has lost over 130 lbs in one year. I hope I can be as successful as she.

This morning I tried my hand at the sugar-free vanilla protein powder shake. I can't stand protein shakes. They are disgusting. I tried a recipe that calls for decaf instand coffee powder and sugar-free dairy creamer with sugar free hazelnut flavored syrup. It's still pretty gross but stomachable. I think I have a few tweaks to make on it so it's not so sweet. I'm drinking this one though and hopefully I'll be able to stomach it afterwards. Blah.

I guess that's really all for today. Wow, that's boring ;)
