My youngest daughter is sitting next to me having a snack. As if The cheesy smell of the cheez-it, the crunching wasn't bad enough, she has to describe her snacking experience... "Hey Mom.. If I suck the crackers the cheese melts in my mouth"  Oh really? "yes and watch me put this whole handfull in my mouth"  "YUMMMMMM" she says.

Please just 1 cheez-it!!!!

Well Hubby and I just had our first fight about this WLS. I have not told anyone on his side of the family yet and I have told some on my side.  He was pissed at me because he had to tell his Mom that I was not coming over to Dinner tomorrow because I had plans.(I really don't I just don't want people asking "why arent you eating?")  BIG FREAKIN DEAL!!   I told him that it wasn't his decision who to tell. I will tell them when I am ready.   I'm not ready to explain everything to them yet, when I am still trying to figure this all out myself. What to do!?!

It is 3 days after surgery and I am feeling so much better. I emptied the dishwasher this morning and started some laundry. Hubby and I had our morning coffee out on the patio. It was nice to just sit and relax with him. It seems like we just never get the time to ourselves. 

I still have some gas left in me but I think now that I am up and around more today it should work it's way out. I may even go to the grocerie store with my husband and son.  The swelling has gone down in my belly too, it feels so much better.

I am so glad the surgery part is over, I feel a big sense of relief off my shoulders.

I walked in the door, took my pain meds and got on my computer to write and tell everyone that I am home and I will write more later, I am really sore. Thank you Christina for coming to visit me and bringing me gifts.!!! That was so sweet. She did however make me get up and walk. She is such a slave driver!!! ha ha  You are such a sweetheart.

It's the day before surgery and I'm not feeling too anxious today. Yesterday I was a mess.  I was even a bit weepy yesterday too. I'm not sure exactly why. I tried to stay busy yesterday. I cleaned the whole house and did about 6 loads of laundry. I hosed the patio down and packed my bags. Today I will pack the kids bags to go to my Mom and Dad's. I might give the dog a bath today too. I will try to stay busy today. Thank you to everyone for all the support and prayers.

Pre-op yesterday didn't go as well as I thought it would. There was only 2 of us getting the Lap-band.  First we had "the talk" from the nutritionist about what to eat after we get the band. Then we got to see the Doc separately.  The Doc came in said Hello and then said.. "You have a Gall stone, do you want your Gall bladder out before or after the Lap-Band?"  I was shocked at first but I want to get the Band so I said after.  So in a month or two I have to have another surgery.  They can't do it at the same time because of infection.   So I was just getting over that when we were getting our papers to go pre-register at the hospital and the office girl said that I will have to spend the night in the hospital when all along they were telling me it was an out-patient procedure!!!  Well those of you who have kids know it is hard to get things in order to spend the night away from them.  My Doc is almost 2 hours away.  So anyways now I was really getting upset.  Thank God the pre-registration went smoothly at the hospital. They took my money, then they took my blood and urine, then they did the EKG and chest x-rays.   All done, Hubby and I went to lunch and I had a few cosmo's and I was great. Ha Ha  Not what I wanted to hear at all but at least I am still having the Band done on Monday. YAH!

I weighed myself today and I am down to 250.0 lbs!! YAH. That is a good start. I have been trying to stick to the pre-op slimfast diet and it is going pretty good. I have slipped and had a little candy one day and a couple pieces of pizza another.  I have been dreaming a lot at night, not about food but about anything and everything. I guess I have been sleeping better. I don't feel as tired as I usually do in the mornings. I think it is due to the weight loss.

I started my slimfast diet today. I was VERY cranky most of the day until I got to eat my low carb dinner tonight. Now I am happy. I might try eating my low carb meal for lunch so I am not so cranky. I did my measurements and weight today. Weight was 258.4 lbs.

Well I haven't done too well with the Adkins diet, I really don't know why. Tomorrow Is my last day of full meals. Monday I start slimfast for two meals a day and one low carb meal a day.  For two weeks. I hope I can do that.  Today is my daughter's 15th birthday and I have had way too much cake. I figured it will be my last for a long time and I better take advantage of it now.
