My favorite day of the week

I actually slept in this morning by like 4 hours, lol. I have been getting up anywhere between 2-3:30 for the past couple of weeks so I can get work done since I am off next week. Well I am down 10.6 pounds now and my stomach thinks that my throat has been cut since I am only allowed liquids, hahahahaha. But I can't wait to see the final me when this is all said and done. Well we are heading to the laundry mat this morning to wash our king size bedding, it just doesn't fit in my washer at home. Then we are heading to Mylan Park for the Christmas craft show. http://www.familyfestivals.com/WV-Christmas.html hope you all have a great day and stay warm, baby it's cold out there.

Surgery Time Scheduled

Well that is 5 days down with no real food, just lots of liquids and prepping for surgery. The hospital called this afternoon and told me to arrive at 5 am on Monday, heck that shouldn't be a problem since Ed and I are early risers. Now it seems real with the O.R time set and my nerves are getting the better of me. Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, it really means a lot to me. I will keep ya all posted.

1st day of the rest of my life

As many of you know I am having gastric bypass on November 17th. I have been preparing for this since May and now I am in the final stages before surgery. Today starts my all liquid diet, 800 calories and 100 grams of protein is what I am shooting for daily until surgery. I have my shelves stocked with everything that I can have. I have a great support system in place, my husband Ed is going to keep me on target and my sister Chris and her hubby Jim are my role models. I couldn't do it without all of you. I will post a picture before I go into the hospital Monday Morning and I will post more as the weeks go by. I am totally looking forward to this next step in my life. Stay tuned.
