I have been posting in the forums for several years and never even noticed the blog feature... but recently I am seeing that everyone is blogging.. so thought I would try it out. This week my patience has been tried on the forums so maybe I need to be more selective in replying to certain posts and use a blog to vent... something to think about.... Have to go to my office Christmas party in 30 minutes.... I will stand around with my pretty glass of water with lemon and watch everyone stuff their faces on rich fatty appetizers... And tomorrow I will still be in my new found size 8s and they will be thinking of how to shed the bloat from their over induldging. Life is good!

It almost 5am and as usual, I cannot sleep because I slept too much during the day. I'm happy to report that my surgery went fine. Each time I walk by the hospital chapel, I cry thanking God for this new opportunity. I don't remember waking up from surgery, the dr explained they had to use a lot of anestecia because the fat from my belly was absorbing it fast. Whatever that means. All I know is that I was so high when I woke up in my room at night time. I barely could talk, move and was feeling no pain at all. All night I was so thirsty, those hours were endless, but the next morning we had a leak test and finally I could have water. I felt discomfort with every sip, but nothing horrible. Whenever I'd go walk I'd get nauseous, but it has gotten better. Today, hopefully, I can go to the hotel. I don't like the teas or juices. I just loved the chicken broth I had today. I'm a bit scare about the Fly back, it's 3 hours to get to Dallas and another 3 to get to Tampa. But I already overcame the biggest fear, I can now do anything. I'm happy! Thank you Jesus! Thank you all who prayed for me!

Welcome. My dietitian told me that you have to eat to lose weight. Maybe contact yours to ask questions. That is why they are there. I can email mine and she usually answers within 24 hours. Good luck with your new journey.

Good Luck!!! You can do this!! It's tough but it will all be worth it in the end. God Bless you<3
