The nurses from the hospital just called to do my pre-registration. They told me where to go, what to bring, reiterated my pre-op diet of clears the day before and nothing past midnight, went over my meds, and had me pay my Tricare Standard copayment for the surgery - a whopping total of $18! W00t!!! Lol!

It feels so real now! And it's so close. 5 more days!!!!

To be honest, I'm getting a little nervous...just a little.

Gosh it's been a while! I've been so busy with my new promotion and moving, plus celebrating my 7th wedding anniversary and my husbands birthday this last week. I have an update! Currently I am down to 240.2 which is 50.8 down per my surgeon's chart but 43.4 on my scale the morning of surgery. I use both for checks and balances; I like knowing the difference between the two scales. His goal for me was 50 lbs by our 3 month check up which is the first week of May. At this rate, I will have annihilated that goal!!!!!!!

The past week seems to be where I've hit my stride. I didn't work out once but I dropped 5lbs!!! It's crazy! I'm hitting 600 calories everyday and I'm eating Protein first always. I am accustomed to only being able to take two bites of my food before I'm full, and I'm fine with that. This whole process has been amazing and I am super excited about where I'm headed. My husband and I had a marriage blessing at church on our anniversary and I wore a size 14 Alfani dress!!!!! It fit perfectly!! Other NSV's: I am back to my weight from before I got pregnant with my daughter in early 2014, I can wear all my size 16's and 14's comfortably and the 16's are borderline too big, I went out to a bar/lounge to Celebrate my husband's birthday and had not a single drop of alcohol - that's how focused I am, and I feel amazing!!!!!

Hopefully I can remember to keep the updates coming! Hoping everyone is doing well!

Yaaaay for an update!!! Looks like you are doing amazing. Keep up the great work. And happy anniversary!!! ❤

as for the mani/pedi my husband drove me to get one the week after my surgery as sort of a congrats present. :-) because I like to have my nails done.

Wow its been a while huh? LOL!

Well, update:

No complications at all.

Losing nicely - down to 208.8 so that's a total of (291 - 208.8) 82.2 lbs lost!!!! In less than 6 months! And I still have two weeks before I hit the six month mark. Shooting for 90lbs. Pretty sure that at the rate that I am going right now 7.8 lbs in 18 days should be no problem!

Hope everyone is doing great! :-)

Good Luck
