Well here I am about 2 1/2 weeks post surgery and down about 30 lbs.  What a miracle.  Thank you Jesus.  It has been hard and easy all at once.  Easy because I really can't eat to much, but difficult because head hunger is real.  I am doing exactly what my doctor has ordered, but boy do some foods look good.  My biggest missed item is my morning coffee.  I am limited to 1/2 cup per day.  Food is not a big deal and I have finally found some pretein drinks and supplements that I like.  The best thing I have done for my self is become involved in a support group at my church.  We are celebrating recovery thruough Jesus Christ.  Well that is about it for now.  Keep praying.

My big day is tomorrow.  For some reason the theme song from Annie keeps running through my head - "Tomorrow, tomorrow, there's always tomorrow, tomorrow's a day a way. "   My approach to diets have always been "tomorrow" and finally my tomorrow has arrived.  I am nervous, petrified, excited, emotional, but most of all ready.  My last hurdle has been crossed - I told my inlaws of my plans.  Did it in an email, very cowardly of me, but I did not want to deal with the emotions of this anymore.  I can only hope they will be supportive in the long run.  My mother-in-law is a strong willed person who managed to loose 65 lbs with Weight Watchers.  It took her 3 years and although I applaud that she did it, I don't want to wait that long to feel better.  We are different people and I have to do what is best for me.  Well that is all for now.  I will return after surgery and tell you what I am feeling.
