Today I am officially 7 weeks out. I have lost 50.5 pounds the last time I weighed myself (which I still don't like doing even though the number always goes down) and I think I've been doing really well!! Eating has definitely been a learning experience and I think with everyday I think something new. Like today I learned that tomato and basil soup doesn't work too well for me... apparently the acid makes me dump! hmmm who would have thunk. I just keep trying new things and stay excited about everything:)

Also excersice has been going SO WELL! I find that as long as I switch it up and always keep my workout's interesting a "new" I actually look forward to going to the gym... who would have ever though I would say that!! 

 I think I have been doing amazingly well for being 4 weeks out tomorrow. I have been following my eating plan and doing an amazing job finding foods that will satisfy my cravings. I started my new classes and I have even been working out 5ish days a week... it's going pretty damn well. I can't wait for the weight to keep falling off and to see huge results :)

I really cannot wait until my surgery day. First off I'm super fed up with the preop diet!!!!!! I have never been so miserable in my entire life (which I guess says something about the easiness of my life). Also I am just excited for my life to change in every way. I've already lost 10 pounds on the preop diet and, even with finals, I feel so much more energetic about everything around me. I find myself looking at the world completely differently. I was pintrest today and I was looking through pins and pictures and the same thought kept running through my head... "i'm gonna do that", "i'm gonna wear that", "i'm gonna go there"... even weeks ago I wouldn't have thought those things. I thank WLS for giving me a whole new perspective on life... AND I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD SURGERY YET!!

love life 

I'm 6 days into my 14 day pre op liquid diet and I think I have finally found a system (thank the heavens). I am getting in all of my shakes daily and water which has finally began to curb my hunger. When ever I decide I'm hungry and I can't rid my mind of thoughts of food, I get up and take my dog for a walk because it's something that benefits both of us and occupies the time.

It's difficult being around people who are eating and while most of the people around me know my situation and are supportive I still find myself responding yes to "would you like one" and then have to quickly retract with no. It's become kind of comical.

Only 8 more days until surgery and I still have no hint of fear. I'm so ready for this change and for my life to improve exponentially!!! Bring it on WLS :)
