Hi everyone,

I was away on a overly-long vacation visiting family these past two weeks in Florida. One of the best things that happened while I was down there was my Dr's office called and scheduled a surgery date for July 30th! I am so excited that I got in in July. At the point I was at I was sure that I wasn't getting in until at least August. And since I am starting nursing school in September, I was worried about healing in time and being in tip top shape (recovery-wise) for clinicals. Also, while I was down there I lost 5 pounds- without even trying! This process has already started me in a mindset of recognizing fullness and attempting to eat only when hungry. A big part of the weight loss had to do with the unbearable humidity and heat and the fact that I was sharing a hotel room with my freezing anemic sister. Regardless I am going to take whatever weight loss is handed my way. I have NEVER come home from a vacation and not have put on weight. My finance even noticed the slight weight loss. Anyway, enough of my ramblings.....just wanted to share my excitement!

That's great news! Congratulations!

wow congrats about the date the weight loss! I was so excited when I got the call for the date that I wanted to just scream at the top of my lungs with excitement!
