Well, on my way to the meeting point to head to Mexico. Dr. Almanza here I come. Whew I am ready to do this and move to the next stage.

Woot!!! Long time coming. Spandex here I come! jk, maybe.

Thx raine:

I am amazed at how well things are going. I had prepared myself for all the complications and slow loss, the pain and fatigue, so far I have just been great! And I have lost 35lbs as of this morning! I need to get a ticker.

Things that I think are helping

I am up moving all day everyday, I got home last Friday night the 13th of may, I have not laid around at all. Up out of the house all day everyday.

I am sipping liquid all day, I'm not getting a ton in, but constant small amounts. I bought some "emergenC" drink Powder. It is tons of vitamin C and B complex, I try to get one in at least every other day. Dont know if it is helping but don't think it is hurting.

And "attitude"'yes I think it matters. I have not once regretted this, not dwelled on what I can't have or such. I am staying positive and excited about this new adventure and life. But that is kinda me anyway. My cup is generally overflowing and stuff is rapidly condensing into it. :-).
