So the past 5 months have creeped by and flew by all at the same time. I've been poked and prodded due to my endo thinking I had Cushing's, then my first cardiologist appointment came back with an abnormal ekg only to find out it was the nurses error.

I just went today for an appointment with my surgeon and saw another cardiologist in Pittsburgh that did all my testing and said my only issue is my weight but everything came back perfect. The surgeon scheduled me for August 31st tentatively, pending the approval of my insurance after my 6th weight check on August 1st. I am beyond excited and can't wait to start this journey. I want to be on the losers bench with all of you winners .

Just a few things I'm looking forward to:

Riding on the back of my hubby's Harley. (I could now, but I just don't feel right)

Fitting on roller coasters.

Zip lining.

Tying my shoes straight.

Feeling comfortable in my own skin.

Walking for long distances. (When we go to Ohio state games, I can barely make it to the stadium without being in tears because of leg pain)

Eating to live instead of living to eat.

Sorry for such a long post, I'm just so excited to be so close.

I just started stocking up on some broth and a few samples of Protein but I'm scared to get the big jugs incase I don't like it after.

I need to do that too. I bought some Orange Crush water additive to make drinking water taste better. Got it on Amazon and it really tastes like orange crush but no carbination. No calories!

Little squirt bottles you can keep in your purse!

That's awesome. I'll have to check it out. I drink a ton of water at work but it's like once I get home, I'm done and done want it anymore. I told the guys at GNC that Isopure tasted like vomit to me and they recommended the vanilla isopure power soooooo I'm going to give that a shot and hope it's better than the premixed.
