Post Op Appointment
Feb 26, 2008
I was just able to add soft noodles and soup (Campbel's Healthy Request), mashed potatoes, Yogurt, Bananna, Grits, 1 fat, and some other stuff. I am pretty excited about that because that means I know have a better variety of foods to eat. (Thats Funny Because Last month I was eating anything I wanted and now I am doing so well, this I am proud of myself) I am actually exicted about my weight losss journey.
My family, friends, coworkers, classmates (I decided to get my Masters Degree, I will graduate in July) are all very supportive of what I am doing and everyone keeps tell me they can tell I am loosing weight, which feels really good. I told one person with all the compliments I am going to get a big head.
Okay, thats enough for now.
Have a good Weight Loss Journey and Reminder It Will Come

I am Back
Feb 14, 2008
I am back....I stayed overnight at the hospital. There were no problems except for when it was time for me to go to sleep with my CPAP machine on. The nurse forgot to take the cap off the water container and thus blocked the airflow. I didnt know it until I put the mask on and my nurse started to burned because of the lack of moisture. But it was okay because when I realized it I removed it.
I was released on Friday 8, the drive home was horible because I was so nausated. However, I havent had any problems since. I can say even though I dont have my first fill and I am seeing a difference in how much I can eat (baby food and pureed goods). I got for my first fill on Feb 22. 

I am on my way

Day 8 Pre-Op Diet (All Liquids)
Feb 04, 2008
Good afternoon,
Well, well, well...I started the all liquid portion of my diet, so pray for me. I thought it was going to be extremely hard for me, but I look towards the future and that always raises my spirits. I cannot believe that in just 3 days I will be having my surgery. That makes me a little teary eyed.
I cant wait
