Cindy, remember that Karma will take care of her in the end. It's horrible what people are willing to do for the almighty dollar. Scary huh?

As for everyone asking about me and Abi. Abi is schedualed for surgery on her nose on the 5th. All of her tests came back within normal range for the clotting issue so she is safe to have surgery. We spent the day at the zoo today, I am sooo tired, she walked my butt off. I really need to start walking more to prepare for Disney. As for me...I am still waiting for the surgeons office to call me back. They were supposed to call and set something up for me. They were also going to call my insurance to make sure I would be covered for surgery. I am starting to wonder if this is the surgeon that I want to use. It's been over a week and I have heard absolutly nothing from them. It's hard to be in pain and not hear any news. Also, she is totally unwilling to do the hystorectomy, if there is endometriosis she is going to clean it out and see what happens. If/when it comes back then she will consider a hysto. She also refuses to do any kind of permanent sterilization, but she is going to do a hydro thermal ablation. If I get pregnant after that proceedure I will be considered extremly high risk, for me and for the baby. That makes a ton of sense huh? I will check back in tomorrow. I am going to do some calling around and see what I can find out. ~Mandy

Good Morning Y'all!

TGIF! I am so ready for this week to be over with.

Cindy - Sorry about the estate, it's really sad what some people do. You know you can make kind of a list of the things she took that you know of, and those things should have a value put on them. Then, you can make her subtract the value of the items from her share she gets. You might have to protest the will to do it if she gets nasty. But, things should be done right and I am a true believer of that~ Don't that make you mad when you lose a post? I know one time I hit the return button before I hit the post button and it lost everything, now I am a little more careful of what one I hit first.

Mandy - That's good news on Abi! I would definately get a second opinion before I had the surgery, but I do know that now they recommend not having the hystorectomy unless it is absolutely necessary.

Kat - I think you are smart not getting a fill until all the stress is eliminated from your life, (well the one with DH) I don't know how you would eliminate stress from your life all together, at least I can't! But, the band sure works in mysterous ways and stress makes it go wild.

Sherry - Hope you are enjoying some free time alone! I always enjoy a few days, then I'm ready for the old man to come back home! Relax a little while he's gone!

Patty - Glad you got the boys back and you are doing so good!

Well, I can't remember what anyone else said right now, so going to finish my Breakfast and go to work.

Catch y'all later!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
