I went to the nut today and I so thought that I was going to gain weight. I had to go from the liquid diet to a normal diet. But when I did the weight check I lost 5 lbs. I was shocked. It was an understatement of how I felt at that moment. I have been trying to avoid the pizza the kids get and the cake from my sons birthday. I guess I did good. I really thought that I would gain. I really did. But I didn't. It is hard to go from the liquid diet to a regular diet. I swear it is hard. I thought that I gained from the intake of food. But I guess my choices are a little bit healthier then what I thought.

Hi Mama! You have been a real trooper throughout your whole ordeal! You get it! You are one of us now, if only in spirit. I know when you finally get your operation in a few weeks, you'll be at it like a pro! Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks Redy. I kind of have to show my boys they are stronger then they think. Everyone is stronger then what they think. Mind over matter. I have had people tell me to use the riding carts at stores and I refuse to do it. I watch people riding them that are way smaller then me and get off them to get something and everything. I refuse to because I feel like it is a sign of giving up on my part. I will only use them when I am hurt and in need of it. But if my feet and legs allow me to walk I will. My mom was one to give up and I seen what it was like. I don't want to give up. I pushed my mom everyday to get up and move. We fought over it and I am not going to make my boys do it for me. I will take care of the problem while I can. My mom is my inspiration because I do not want to give up. But when my mom lost weight and everything she got in a wreck. She pushed herself to walk again. Even with a trek in her throat she pushed through. With in a year we could hear her voice some. She pushed herself because I was pregnant with my youngest son. She wanted to be there for him. She was with my older 3 when I had him but she was the first one at the hospital in the morning. She was the first one to hold him after me and dad. She pushed through all the pain and the hardship from the wreck for that moment. Then she was in another wreck 7 months later and passed away without knowing that my brother was having his first son. My mother was a strong will power person and I remember everything she went through and taught my self to do the same. Will power will carry you so far in life. It pulled my mother back from deaths door and gave her back to us. So anybody can have will power but you have to find someone to give you inspiration to have that will power. And I will push anyone that I think deserves and needs that push to keep going. My family says I got the best of my father and my mother. I got my mother's will power and I got my father's kind heart. A good mix if you ask me.

My goodness hon,. You are a inspiration. I was really close to my mother,so my heart aches for you and the journey you had. I am the youngest of 3. Closest to my mother and when she died she knew I loved her and she me. I told her until I see her again. I miss her every day. Thank you for sharing your story.
 
your welcome. Losing a mother is the hardest thing possible. Losing any parent is. It changes us for the rest of our life.
 
Yes it does because your mother was the one person (and father) who loved you unconditionally. That hit me really hard and left me with a hole in my heart.
