the final meal

we all know what's going to happen once you get a date for surgery: the final meal.

i really wanted it to be a good one, however, i spent the entire afternoon with three kids in tow, scowering Wal*Mart and Costco for what i need to have before surgery. a million and one vitamin supplements. protein powder. crappy liquid foods for the week pre-surgery.

we ended up at five guys burgers and fries and finished it off with a gigantic ice cream from maggie moo's.  then this morning i started my week-long liquid diet to prep for surgery.  and...i'm starving.

today i received this book which i ordered from amazon.com. it got the highest ratings of post-surgery cookbooks and i really hate reading books with "idiots" or "dummies" in the title.

flipping through this made me feel a little better.  might i actually get to EAT something at some point in the future? yes.  mostly i don't care though.  when you have been fat for so long and a light appears at the end of the tunnel, you are willing to imagine a life without devouring a full pan of brownies while watching the biggest loser.
