First Plateau? - Well, here I am at not quite 3 weeks, and I've hit my first plateau.  I'm trying not to worry about it.  The scale hasn't moved in the last 3-4 days.  But I'm sticking with my diet...

I feel good! - Good day for me today!  I've lost 20.2 pounds.  I'm wearing an entire outfit of SMALLER sized clothes today!  And I took a nice long walk outside.  Things are going just fine.  ...

One week ago today . . . - One week ago today my life was changing forever.  I was nervous, scared, determined--you name it.  But here I am, one week later, and I'm already feeling great!  I've lost 19 lbs s...

Bouncing back fast - Oh, I feel so much better today!  The soreness has really let up today.  I am moving around much more easily.  Still slow, of course, but big improvement. I got on the scale thi...

I'm home - I'm very happy to be home.  I'm having a much better day today.  Still sore, but not terribly so.  Just taking it easy, sipping my water, and trying to recover.  I'll write more la...

Next to last day - I'm writing one last blog tonight because I might not have time in the morning.   Finally got that darling, precious husband of mine home on Friday and we've had a very nice we...

Thank you Lord! - Just time for a quick note this morning.  My sweet husband made it out of Bahrain yesterday.  Finally.  Thank you, Lord!  He contacted me from Amsterdam late last night.  I was so ...

So! - So!  Not having a real good day here.  My sweet husband was supposed to be flying home today.  Instead he is stuck in Bahrain, trying to get out of that crazy Arab country.  The pr...

Clothes, clothes, clothes! - OMGoodness!  I have been looking in my closet today.  What a mess!  I have clothes in so many sizes!  I would like to organize them by size before my surgery, but I don't think...

This is a good, good day! - I am one happy camper today!  I just found out that the spot on my lung (which showed up in my chest x-ray last week for pre-ops) is just a bit of scar tissue.  Thank you Lord!  I'...

Almost one week down - Today is Day Six of the pre-op diet.  I'm hanging in there.  I must be doing something right because I'm in ketosis and I'm losing weight.  But I can honestly say that today is the...

6 pounds down! - So I woke up feeling pretty blah this morning and I decided to step on the scales.  OMG!  I've lost 6 pounds since Wednesday!  I guess this pre-op diet is working.  I feel bad beca...

A better day - Today is Day Four on the pre-op diet and it's been a better day.  Ketosis has finally kicked in and that's helping.  I still don't like those shakes and I'm doing everything I can ...

No me gusta! - I do NOT like protein shakes.  They are awful.  I'm trying, but they are just too sweet and yucky tasting.  So I'm changing this pre-op diet around a little.  I do have the shake f...

ugh - Wow, this is a little tougher than I thought.  I'm nearing the end of Day Two on the liquid protein shakes and I feel awful.  Lousy.  And there's no end in sight.  How does anybody...

Day Two - Okay, it's official:  I do not like protein shakes!  But I will continue to drink them as part of my pre-surgery prep.  Nasty stuff, though. Last night I got the predicted heada...

Starting Liquid Diet today - Well, here we go.  Today I started my 2-week liquid protein diet before surgery.  I'm not real sure how well I'm going to do with this part.  Let me just say that the sweet protein...

Countin' down! - Hello OH! I've been gone for the past 12 days visiting my daughters and my grandson.  It's been quite a hectic two weeks.  But the good news is that I managed to do all that tra...

A good day! - Today feels like a good day.  I'm visiting my daughter this week.  She and I slept late and we're having a lazy day together.  BUT, I am continuing in my committment to eating heal...

Day Six - Oh happy day!  I have almost made one full week with no coke!  I know I have to give them up after surgery, and it feels so good to have made a start on it one month before surgery...

I forgot! - Goodness, these new habits will take time to form.  I completely forgot to walk on my treadmill yesterday!  I didn't avoid it, I just forgot to do it. Start of Day Four with no ...

Day 3--No Coke! - So, this may not sound like much of an accomplishment to some, but for me, 3 days with NO COKE is tremendous!  I am a certified Coke-aholic!  I have had a Coke for breakfast every ...

I walked today - Just a little accountability note:  I walked 12 minutes today.  A little increase from yesterday, but I wanted to walk a full half mile.  I will aim for working up to 15 minutes by...

Reflections - I have been reflecting hard this morning on my mental preparations for this surgery.  That's good.  I needed it.  I feel like I am hurtling towards my surgery date now.  Only 35 mo...
