I can't believe a month has pasted already. I have lost a total of 31.5 pounds and 21.6 inches.  I have also hit my first stall, the scale has not moved in over a week. As much as I know this is normal and as much as I thought I was prepared for this it has been difficult.

I am healing well, I feel good most of the time. I am not getting enough fluid and find myself dehydrated often. My skin has all dried out and I have an ongoing headach. Everyday it is a challenge for me. Eating seems to be okay, I can eat almost everything I am aloud although all food no matter what it is makes me feel ill.

I haven't noticed the weightloss yet, I am looking forward to the day I look into a mirror and see the difference. Oneday at a time.

I made it through the surgery and now I'm working on the healing. I am feeling okay a little soar, this is to be expected after open by pass. I am a bit emotional today, feeling a bit blue. The doctor was great, the hospital was clean and the nurses were wonderful. I have started eating and drinking, but really not a lot at all. I am very fearful so I eat slow and drink the smallest sips. I managed to get 39 calories in yesterday. I never thought I would see the day where I am working on getting calories in. I am struggling with the water as well. It feels so strange. I feel like I am full of air when I drink. I don't know if this is normal or not. Other then that  everything is good. I just wanted to add a short update.

I have put on 15 pounds since I got my date for surgery. UGh now I have another 15 pounds to lose. I start my 2 week pre op diet on Friday so the fun begins. I have been eating everything and anything I can. It has been my way of saying good bye. Although i am afraid I am setting myself up for a huge crash. Time will tell I guess.

I am starting to get very nervous. My plane ticket is booked. All there is to do now is show up. UGH!!!
