		<description><![CDATA[I've realized I'm not going to make my fortune in blogging.  I don't know how people do it every day!<br /><br />What I've experienced so far on my 17 or so days of liquid diet is that I'm not very hungry.   Oh, I wanted to eat out of boredom.  I even passed up going to a movie because I don't know how to enjoy a movie without...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So far so good.  I've been blessed that I haven't really suffered from stomach hunger.  In fact, one of the first things I said to my husband after surgery was, "I feel full".  I feel as if I've just eaten a decent meal.  I imagine as the swelling goes down that feeling will lessen because I have no desire to eat right now. ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm feeling pretty good except I caught a cold.  Coughing and sneezing are not fun at all right now.  I haven't been hungry at all.  I just want to eat because I want to.  So, I'm focusing on my stomach instead of my head.  I am tired of sweet stuff and concentrating more on broth.  If we could still have jello I think I'd make...]]></description>

		<category></category>
		<description><![CDATA[So far so good.  I'm amazed at  how good I feel.  I now understand those recently banded women skipping out of here yesterday when we checked in.<br /><br />I'm experiencing very mild discomfort.  My menstrual cramps were way worse then this.  Burping sometimes sends a sharp pain, but again, I've felt worse.  In fact, I felt far worse after...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had my lapband surgery put in a few  hours ago and I'm feeling great. I'll blog more about the experience another time.  But for now I'll say the popsicles taste like heaven.  Everyone here is so professional and kind.  I was very nervous and emotional beforehand and it wasn't as bad as I had in my mind.  I'm sore on my left...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have been too excited/nervous/scared to sleep and have been getting everything ready for tomorrow.  I'm not sure what this means but I think I'm more scared about the liquid phase than the surgery.  Probably just means that I love food far too much.  Someone here mentioned their "love affair with food".  That sums it up for me....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh gosh, I am so anxious.  I'm excited and scared.  This is really a last resort for me and I want this to work.  My husband says to focus on success not on failing, so I'm going to try that.  <br />The pre-op diet is difficult for me because, face it, I like to eat.  I'd lost 8 lbs as of yesterday.  But, as I always do, when I felt...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow.  I figured out this blog thing except that I accidentally made two blogs. :P Anway, I immediately started writing all about my weight and food issues.  The reason I wrote, "Wow." is because I've been writing steadily for the last hour.  What I ended up with is pretty intense and I'm not sure if I should publish it.  It looks...]]></description>
