I had my first appoitment yesterday and everything went well.  Everything is going just the way it is suppose to.  I just have to keep working hard, and exercising, and everything should go well the rest of the journey.  I have lost 30 pounds and it feels great to be on the losing bench.

Hey
It was 2 weeks yesterday that I had my surgury.  Everything went well, and within a few days there was really no pain,  I was just sore.  I am almost back to normal. I am still tired very easily but hopefully will get better when I start school, and will actually have access to a gym.  I feel great and I have lost about 30 pounds so far, which totally amazes me.  But I feel lots better than before my surgury, and it will only get better.  Well let me know if you have any questions.

On Dec 13th was my preop appt.  I was really good, and I still can't believe that this is really happening on Monday the 17th.  It seems like it should have not been this easy.  I am all set up at the hospital, so no paperwork the day of surgury.  That will be so nice.  My mom is going with me.  I am so blessed that she will take a week off work for me.  I learned about what to expect while i am in the hospital, and I also learned about the 3 different stages of diets that I am going to be on.  It was great.  I will let you all know how the surgury goes on Monday.  It will be great, and see ya on the losing side.
