Hey Susan , yes the people came saw the house and loved it...made us an offer , too low but we took it i did get him up some but not a lot....and then we also sold the contract that we have on the other house to them...so we will close on both of them hopefully friday or monday.  as soon as that is done we can leave except Joe is expecting another lump sum  he may have to fly back for that if they cant do the transaction in the next few days.....we have to be in Ecuador before the 7th we rescheduled the closing of the farm down there just in case ...the housing inspectoer came out yesterday and he said our house was one of the best well maintained houses he had inspected in a long long time...
sort of proud of that. ..

you bet you had better come and see me.....maybe you can come when Sugar does really i expect you to......keep me and Joe in your prayers...

Didn't have surgery in Columbia but wanted to say that being nervous is normal and if you have questions, ask at your class and on this board and we will get back to you eventually. Some of us don't read every day and are even worse about posting but real questions will get answers. The main things to remember are walk alot right after surgery, sip water, and don't worry about how much you are eating. Then, your goal will be 64oz of water, 60-70 grams of protein, and all your vitamins EVERY DAY!!! You will probably have to do protein shakes/drinks and they should be whey isolate protein for your best results. Also, I personally never took chewable or liquid vitamins - my doctor didn't care and I'm cheap so I just got whatever Sam's/WalMart had and chopped them in half at first. Just get in the water, protein and vitamin habit early on and keep at it. I'm 4 years and 8 months out and have maintained with only a 10 pound bounce back from my lowest (which was too low) weight.
Incidentally. I saw your ticker and I believe at your weight and age you'll lose much more than you have anticipated. If you follow the rules and exercise regularly you'll be a tiny one.
Hugs and prayers,
Lana

Good morning Susan im glad you said what day it was cause i sure didnt know lol.....i have been busier than a one legged man at a butt kicken contest lol....we are sort of in a waiting mode now tho...waiting for the inspection to get done. so they can go farward on the closing. I have been trying to think of anything that  they might find that would be bad.   Joe got under the house yesterday and wrapped all the pipes with insulation and went around and checked the siding to see if it was all in place, we pulled weeds yesterday like a man man trying to make the yard look decent ...since that rain it was just enough to make the weeds grow like crazy....and we sold all of our lawn equiptment. stupid huh?
Susan ask Andy how hard it is to load Skype to the computer? im going to go buy a web cam to stick on here too. that way i can see the people if i want to. and i can sort of carry the computer around and show people some of the property too....

well got to go , still have a couple of boxes to pack up and mail to myself...

love you too my sister.....
