Wow were do i begin, Im here all the time but never posting.  Things continue to go well.  Ive added some new pictures, just did my first labs for 3 months.  Im down to 223, I was at least walking everyday, these last 2 weeks I have been off track but I am back on track.  I have no regrets, Id do it all over again if I had to.

Ok in 2 days this Monday it will be my 3rd week since surgery.  Im feeln good doing dood on my fluid intake, take a multi vitamin everyday, and gradually getting the right amount of protein in each day.  Its nice to be able to eat more than liquids, I was addicted to sf applesauce and jello now im addicted to refried beans and cheese.  Ive also started to drink isopure water though I have not been able to finish a whole bottle in one day, the stuff is sweet.  Ive went to see my surgeon who was very excited about my weightloss, took a picture, increased my diet, and made an appt for me for a month later.  I also need to see my primary for blood work which I have not done but will this week comming up.  I was 300 the day I started liquids as of yesterday I was 257.  Im about to reach my first weight goal of 250 wow I am truely amazed.  I cant say its been easy but it is getting easier, my energy level is improving and im walking everyday.  All I can say is I am truely blessed!

Ok for all my fans...Im kidding!  Really though im doing so well, I went in Monday March 3 took the great Dr. White 55 min and poof im a 12.  Ok not really, though it did take 55 min he said my insides were great I did my liquids perfectly!  Im proud of myself for that.  I was pretty much out of it Mon slept on and off all day, woke up constantly requesting water which I could not have.  My nurse didnt even bring me swabs for my mouth, thank god I had a nurse friend on the floor, at about 7 when her shift was over she brought me ice water n a towel to spit it in and finally... my incentive spirometer, cant say I wanted that but I know I needed it!  That alone made me feel so much better, I got up at 11 and walked around the hall 1 time and took my ass to bed I was poopd.  On Tues I was finally getting my swallow study ugh that thick bitter ugh what can I say its nasty but hey gotta do what ya gotta do she said "its nasty I know but 3 sips and ur done" try 6 I almost threw up!  All was well n I got my 1st 30cc of water Isavored it like red lobsters ultimate feast haha!  Well once the liquids started going down good got sum juven ugh not so good and that catheter out yay.  Bad news I had that dream I was stting on the toilet surprise I wasnt on the toilet laugh all u want I had my legs so tight to keep the pee from my bed I had to laugh.  I didnt want nebody to know so I yankd my iv out the wall swong my feet around dripped pee all the way to the bathroom took a showercleaned the floor and got back in bed before my nurse came to c me soo much for not wanting andbody to know.  I had to make yal laugh some way.  My doc said I could go home wed but since im on a budget and I dont have cable at home I stayed an extra day (dont tell my insuance company) Thur I got dc'd pulling that drain out was the weirdest feeling Ie ever had in my life.  That on q pump was the bomb.  Im drinking water not enough but im working on it and sugar free jello ugh Im to scared to try nethng else though I know I gotta  Im gonna get that protein started tomorrow pray for me yal im on my way! 

Ok so today i had my pre op visit.  My dr drew some blood for labs, I had a pap so I could start some form of birth control.  She sent me to the hospital for ekg and chest xray.  Thats it.  Next monday is my big day.  Im on liquids and yes it sucks like hell.  Im just weak well the first to days I was, now im kinda used to it.  Cant say I havent thought about cheating because I have I just choose not to.  Gotta do what i gotta do!  Anyhoo I hope all is well with my labs and I pray all is well with my surgey!

So I had my first minor setback.  Cant complain my surgery was changed from Feb 25 to 1 week later for Mar 3.  Ill survive.  Any way I have 16 days and counting 6 days to eat whatever I want before I cant anymore, though Ive started to replace meals with fluids to prepare myself.  I dont want to go into shock when I wake up the morning of the 22nd and realize im on nothing but fluids for the next 10 days.  Im ready im excited.  Im on my way to the losers side as they say!  My grannies worried sick I had to laugh at her because she thinks you go into surgey and come out at your goal weight, haha not that easy I told her I have alot of work ahead of me!
