One week until surgery!

Heya, I've finally got my internet back so thought I'd update!

I've been drinking the new Peptamen for 2 weeks now but unfortunately still not met my goal of 4/ day. At first taste I thought there was no way I was

even going to drink one a day since it was so bad but I've got used to it a little. I've tried mixing it with cold soya milk and a little chocolate syrup which makes it more bearable and am slowly withdrawing the other ingredients until I can drink it straight. The best tip I can provide to anyone in the same boat is to make it REALLY REALLY cold which makes it taste less like witch hazel. I've accepted that it's never going to taste nice and to just think of it as fuel. There's not much point dressing it up, just need to get. It. Down!

Yum! On to more pleasant matters, I've been busy seeing lots of chums and preparing for a horse show next Sunday. Ended up having an inpromptu party at the weekend which was crazy and I'm still recovering now! My next party is going to be a 100lbs party which, as the name suggests is the party I'm going to hold when I hit 100 pounds! At the moment that's about 20lbs away so if I can gain 1lb per week we're looking at the end of January which doesn't seem like a totally

ridiculous time away! Obviously

the weight gain doesn't end there,

I'll still need to gain more to get up to a weight which is even considered healthy but it'll be a start at least.

So, surgery is a week today and hopefully by this time next week it'll all be over and I'll be on my way home. I'm a bit nervous about the actual surgery and trying not to think about it too much. I just want it all to be over so I can get on with feeding and feel more energetic. At the moment I just want to sleep all day.

I think that's about it for now, hope everyone is doing well.

Much love,

Me. xxx
