Had my surgeon appointment today and have some news! Watch my youtube update to find out how it went!

I updated with a vlog...and I showed my incisions!

32 mile bike ride?! I'm so impressed!! I live in the most beautiful place to bike ride too, lots of people bike here, we even have the tour of California come though here. I would love to do something like that someday! You are an inspiration. Tanya

Excited to be meeting my in person support group tonight!

Excuse me, 36 miles!!!!!!

FINALLY the scale moved again! It was stagnant for a week!! It's only .7lbs but I'll take it! I decided I had to bring out the big guns and start hiking for exercise. It took me 1hr 20mins to do a hike that only took me 49 mins when I was 60lbs lighter. But it's a great first step and damn is it hard!

Geez, I really struggle with the holiday food!!

Good morning Sunshine! I'm thinking about you today, I hope your phone rings soon. I'm crossing my fingers.

Got my scale back!

Hey girl! Where have you been? I hope you are doing okay.

Hey Julie, congratulations on everything! I can't wait to hear how everything goes for you. You're gorgeous! Tanya

Hey Julie, I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to hear your story! You're gorgeous too. Tanya

Hey Sunshine, when is your orientation? xoxo

Hi Gayle! I'm a former Idahoan, I hope you are doing great!

Hi Kelly! Who was your surgeon?

Hi Neil. Our facilitator was Bonnie, not Tim. We have 17 women. No men.

Home today. Feeling more sore in the tummy without the pain medication drip but I'm still so happy.

How are you doing girl?? I swear I feel like I won the lottery!

I did my 4 week vlog update, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/user/mywinecountrylife?feature=mhee#p/a/u/0/UXJ_qHfPwvo

I get my sleeve today! I check in at the hospital at 12:30pm Pacific time. See you all on the other side!

I have actually been enjoying the pre-op diet. Its do-able. I notice that when I feel like I need to eat that it's head hunger. If I concentrate on that for a minute it goes away. I've been averaging 1200 calories a day, i'm drinking my 64 oz of water, taking my vitamins. I have eliminated gum, straws, pasta/rice, peanut butter, drinking with meals and snacking. I'm really excited for this journey

I have my first appointment with my surgeon today!

I haven't had my surgery yet. I'm still in the beginning phase. I have my first surgeon appointment on 7/14 unless he has any cancellations before. I have been on the pre-op diet since 5/15 and have lost 21lbs since 5/13!!

I loved you vlogs!

I seriously feel lost without my scale. I even went next door and asked to use their scale and they didn't have one either!
