How are you doing?

Im good :) 25 pounds down and i feel more beautiful everyday. I can do almost everything except for picking things up off the floor and sleep on my sides. I got tons of yummy fishes from wegmans and i eat 4 oz servings most of the time. I deff need to try to get more protein. I suggest looking up unjury protein you haveto order it but the vanilla in skim plus is AMAZING its like vanilla nesquick and their protein chicken soup is great for when you cant take down solids but you cant stand the sweet anymore (i like salty over sweet)

Did you get your date yet?

Oh wow that is amazing!!! Congrats!!! No, not yet I have to go see Dr. Abkin on the 23rd.

Yes!!!!!

How are you linsey? I'm feeling down now the wait is really stressing me out.
