to be healthy & fit

Today = 226LBS 
Weight as of 04/28/08= 236lbs
Yesterday I couldn't take being in the bed any longer. Got up off my buttocks and started working OUT  It may have taken me a while but I am doing it & It feels good. I feel like I am accomplishing something. I am following my Puree diet as I should. Still hard to get in proteins, but I'm trying. I plan to go buy some slimfast shakes and CIB (carnation instant breakfast) this afternoon. 

I am ALIVE AGAIN YALL, AND IT FEELS GOOD!

I am on a MISSION. My fiance and I have committed to change.  
Seeking the magic bullet deluxe. So far I found one on ebay and I hope I win, but if not I am just going to purchase it outright. I also plan to go buy some protein powder mix and starting making my own smoothies. 

Funny after I start writing this I called my mom, I tell you she owns any and evereything, LOL, and found out she owns one! She says I can borrow it, we'll see.

Well after today's forum/blog post I am well aware that I am jeopardizing my LIFE and I am in the right mind to try and do whatever it TAKES in my power to get a hang of things. 
I have always been strong, and for some reason I lowered my standards, well now is the time to pick up and REGAIN STREGNTH AND SANITY that this surgery is REAL and what I do between now and later will affect my JOURNEY OUTCOME. 
TODAY WAS A REAL EYE OPENER for me  and I hope anyone reading this doesn't take it lightly, and from this point further will not. 

I hope it helps those who think this process will be easy... NEWSFLASH!!!!!!! 
HELL NO!!!  IT IS NOT EASY, AND I & EVERYONE ELSE POST-OP CAN TELL YOU IT IS NOT A JOKE  NOR EASY, and this surgery will, and has changed my life. I have the tears, heartache, and pain to PROVE IT!  
(And I am only 1 1/2 weeks out from surgery) 

 For all those that read my forum post I WANT TO THANK YOU!!!    For being forthright and honestly slapping me upside my head, you know like your momma used to!  I NEEDED TO HEAR IT.
