I started taking some of my meds yesterday - one at a time - swallowing them whole. I didn't have any trouble at all with that. I took some lasix - and made several trips last night to the bathroom. OK, I know - TMI - but apparently it was something I needed to do. After gaining one pound yesterday, I've lost seven - yes 7! - pounds today. That brings my total since February 10 to 28.8 (and since surgery, 20 even). And even better, from my biggest, I am less than half a pound away from 80 pounds!
I feel great! And I have decided to add a "mini" goal. I want to see my collar bone. Not sticking out all bony, but just a little bit. I can't remember the last time I saw it.
I have a big family dinner coming up at the end of next week for my sister's birthday. My Mom is a phenomenal cook - and always makes everyone feel special by preparing exactly what the birthday person wants for dinner. My sister always chooses Italian - ravioli, meatballs, sausage, garlic bread, and a big salad. I have already decided what I am going to eat, and already talked to my mother, explaining exactly what I am going to eat. My Mom shows her love by cooking, and I certainly do not want to change that in her. But what is going to change is me - I am NOT rejecting her love by not eating what she cooks. I'm hoping that by talking about it ahead of time, she will understand that, and I will get through the dinner on track!
