Congrats Sydney!! Best of Luck!!

My kids are very helpful. They know that I will be gone a couple of days and they are going to keep things organized. They helped me with the initial clean up. We did a Spring cleaning in December. My husband is a clean freak so I know he will make sure the house is kept in order.  I'm just scrubbing the floors and cleaning out the pantry and then I'm ready.

I still need to go shopping and am waiting for my pharmacist to get my vitamins together. I also have to get my protein powder and freeze some fruit to use in the protein shakes.


I have never been skinny in my life, even when I was five I was still a little chubby. So this is going to be a novelty, and I'll probably go crazy this summer. Imagine not having to shop in plus size stores anymore. I know I'm going to be EXTREMELY happy about that one.

I just had my last group meeting required by my insurance and the Hershey medical group doing my surgery.  I got a list of vitamins and foods for post-op so Im feeling a little more mentally prepared.... but I still need to force myself to plan, plan, plan... If I hear "not planning, is planning to fail" one more time I may just lose it!! Good luck to you too!

WooHoo we have the same date!! My hubby wont be able to come either due to work. I wont get to see him until I get home from the hospital :( but my mom is flying in from Florida to take care of me. I am so excited about how my year is starting off. Good Luck

I work better under pressure so I will probably wait until the last week to get the house together... the way i like it done. If I do it now I'm sure with my 3 kids will destroy it :-) I can't stand to come back to a disorganized house. I still need to go shopping and get things for after surgery.


Gosh I just want to be a skinny *****! lol just kidding... maybe not. :-)
