I am great!  I am down 85 pounds!  I feel so unbelievably awesome!  I am having so much fun buying clothes.  I also joined a gym and hired a personal trainer.   I am doing a lot of weight training and trying to fit in a lot of cardio as well.  I finally found protein I can handle.  AcheiveOne coffee drinks and the ready made Extreme Smoothies!  I have figured out that I hate the powders!

Well...I am finally feeling better!  The G-tube came out last week...Thank GOD!  It was causing me a lot of pain!  Unfortunately, my family and I came down with some sort of intestinal flu.  That was fun!  I am still having some issues and have barely been able to get in any protein.  I have had the dry heaves every day at least once.  The thought of eating almost brings them on.  

I am down 41 pounds!!!

I am home now. I am feeling ok...gotta stay on top of the pain meds!  Went for a decent walk today...then slept for about three hours!

Ok...today is my last day.  I am on the liquid diet (did get to eat some toast this morning) and getting ready to make myself a magnesium citrate cocktail!  I am sure that will be fun!  

I am nervous about tomorrow.  I have to report to the hospital at 6:00am and the surgery is scheduled for 7:30 am.  Wish me luck!  I will report my progress when I am able to get to a computer!!

I am starting to get a little nervous about Tuesday.  It is the big day!  I know it is the "beginning of the rest of my life", but I am a little scared about the actual surgery.  I was so thankful to read the comments in the chat room last night.  It made me feel better to hear from the others who have been through it.  Support is everything and I hope to be supportive to others out there as well.  This is such a journey that only "we" can understand.  Almost all of my family has some form of obesity so they are wonderfully supportive.  I know how lucky I am.

I wish all of you the best of luck and will keep you in my prayers.  Please keep me in yours as well!
