Yeah!!!!

Just think ONLY ten more days and you will be done with this liquid diet and be a whole new person. Someone that doesn't have to worry about hurting all the time from the extra weight. Someone that has so much energy she doesn't know what to do with. Someone who has no addiction to food anymore. I could go on and on. Make a list or look at your list of all the positive that will be your rewards after ONLY ten more days of this crap!!! Girl you got this!!!!!!!

So happy for you!!!! I can't wait to feel the same way!!!

Patrick I'm so excited for you. I was just reading your "weight through the ages" and your motivators. I can't imaging the struggles you have been through all of your life. This truly will be you "INDEPENDENCE DAY"!!! Good luck to you on Monday. You will be in my prayers. I'm looking forward to reading your posts.

I am having surgery the same day they pick me up from the airport. I am on a 3 day liquid diet so the last meal will be 3 days before I have surgery. I dont think you can have anything the day of surgery.

10 days!!!!! I'm really getting nervous.

That is awesome!!! You are doing good. I've heard Zumba is alot of fun. Hurting from exercise is a good hurt. You know you have done some good for your body. I need a big kick in the pants to get me going. I have surgery on July 9th and haven't started any kind of exercise. So YEAH for you. I'm feeling motivated. Thanks!!!

That is a good question.... I want to know that too.

Shange we have less than 2 weeks!!!! It did seem like it would take forever but it came quick for me. I will arrive in SD on the 8th. I will be meeting my mom and sister there at about 10 am and spend the day and night with them. I haven seem my mom in 9 months. She moved to Mesa AZ 2 years after her partner died of cancer. They were togther for 32 years. I was used to seeing her at least every week. It has been rough being without my "stepmom" and now my mother. I really dont know which I'm more excited about, seeing my momma or getting my sleeve!!!! She will be coming to TJ with me and then back to OK for 2 weeks. WooHoo I'm like double excited. Are you coming alone? Mom & I will be staying in the guest house since I'm having the extra procedure done. Dr A wants me to have a nurse 24/7.
