I am really going through a roller coaster of emotions right now!  Yesterday was crazy!  I was looking at shorts I wore this past summer and realized that I will NEVER wear those again.  I am not sad about that.  I just can't believe I let myself get to that point.  Those shorts are HUGE!  That, however, is why I am changing things and doing something about it!  My RNY is in 4 days!!  Wow!  I have been through so much and had setbacks but now it is all a reality.  I guess I better work on getting these lessons plans done for my classes.  If anyone happens to read this and has advice to offer...I am all ears!

I have my pre-admit on Wednesday and I have 4 more pounds to go to lose ALL my pre-op weight.  I had a minor set back but I am on track now.  I am getting very excited and anxious about my upcoming surgery. It is for sure a reality and I am very excited. I just have to get though the weekend on this liquid diet.  Yuck! 

This weekend I lost weight.  Weekends are usually very hard for me.  I even went out to eat for my birthday.  I boxed up half of the meal before I started eating.  I also asked them to cook everything with no butter.  This really reduced the calories of the meal and did not reduce the taste.  I am a very happy camper this morning.

My surgery is back on.  I had to put it on hold during Christmas because the GI doctor was concerned that I had Crohn's disease.  I am now 100% clear and I will be having my surgery on February 11th.  I am very excited.  This has been a great week!  

They just knocked bypass surgery on the biggest loser.  That frustrates me.  How many people get the chance to not work and go to a ranch for a couple of months?  Also, how many of those people gain it ALL back.  I just don't want to hear it anymore. 

So I did not have my wisdom teeth taken out today.  The insurance is being a big pain in the ass.  However, I think that there is a reason for this.  Maybe it is God's way of telling my I have too much on my plate right now.  It is all good.  I can get that off my things to worry about and concentrate on this surgery in 13 days.  WOW!  I am really excited and totally freaking out a little too. 

I started my shakes and small meals today.  I am excited but a little nervous.  Also, I am having my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow.  Probably not the best timing.  The count down is here though.  13 more days until my RNY! 

I went to the hospital last week and had to stay for several days.  I was hoping to lose weight while I was there.  However, I did not because of all the fluids they were pumping in me.  Now, I am having a really hard time getting back to my diet.  This can be so hard sometimes.   

I keep trying to put a picture on my avatar and I can't get one small enough. How annoying.  I will keep working on it.
