Hey all!

The name is Julie. I just had surgery last Thursday! I figure I should get involved in as many blogs as possible, and talk to all of you out there that are going through the same thing I am!

First off I have to say...

IT'S REALLY FREAKING HARD!

I'm STARVING. My incisions hurt and I'm tired.I just want to freaking CHEW something!

But... Knowing that the number WILL be lower every time I step on the scale is definitely my incentive.

I had a dream that I ate my FLIP FLOP yesterday. Maybe that can give you an idea of how hungry I am. Not only did the dream consist of me actually biting my flip flop and eating it, but I stopped not because I was eating a flip flop.. but because the pieces were too big! How pathetic is that?

But as they say, everything worth having is worth working for. For those of you who think this is an easy fix... ITS NOT. But its an AWESOME tool to help. I'm drinking my Protein Shakes every 15 min and making it one day at a time.

I would love to chat with those interested in surgery, those in the same stage as me, and those who can give me advice. Feel free to comment, or message.. or whatever it you do on here to talk to people!

Looking forward to sharing my journey with everyone!
