OK so I just checked and of course there is no siggis yogurt to be found in my area. I'm still on the road in Texas and heading home tomorrow. I'm so ready to get home... I'm tired of unjury skim milk and Protein Water. I'm ready to play with some recipes. I need a little flavor in my life. Everything has gone as well as it could have. I continue to feel blessed with my recovery and the process in general. I haven't weighed since before my surgery so I'm excited to see if I've lost any weight or if I'm hanging onto it like I have in the past. As excited as I am to continue this journey at home I must confess that I am more excited to see, hold,kiss and sleep beside the wonderful man that is My Better Half!!
Best Wishes to all who are about to embark on this journey!!!

Yes mam! I'm an addict. It's hard not to eat. I eat for fun...I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I'm happy, I eat when I see anything that resembles golden arches, a crown or a little red headed girl with pig tales...Honestly that's why I'm here. I can't do this alone. My give a damn is busted and I've never been able to perceive the concept of will power. I am looking at this as my chance to start over. My chance to retrain my brain....for my brain to learn to listen to my stomach. I reach for the potato chip like the smoker lights a cigarette or the gambler rolls the dice. It's swallowed before I even realized I picked it up. My best guess tells me it's gonna get harder before I'm done but we can do this. We are strong or we wouldn't be here. We have never been perfect and this procedure will not make us perfect. There is not a perfect person here. We are still human but we can do this. We can get past our moments of weakness and we are arming ourselves with an awesome tool to help us. Do not be hard on yourself when you feel this way. Instead know that you have an army of us here that will lend support. Good luck friend, you've go this!!

Way to go Leslie!! Your chiropractor must be great because it's obvious that you have one fine backbone!!!!! We must defend our right to do this. We shouldn't have to but it's just what we have to do. I decorated what I have yesterday in an effort to look nice when meeting my girl friends ( who are all smaller than me) to let them in on my plans. I started the conversation w/ if you can't be a positive support to me during what I'm about to go through then you may leave. They all stuck around and have promised to be supportive. I've got to be focused and I will speak up for myself as needed just like you!!

I'm getting Sleeved in 3 days. Since making this decision I have pondered many things for example; Will I look like one of those wrinkled faced little dogs after losing weight? Will I be so beautiful that I cause traffic jams in my town population 5,000 ( ok had to throw in a little humor)? Will I be a smooth sailor or will I end up with every text book gone wrong moment with this procedure happening to me? and so on and so on. My most recent ponderable has to do with my intellect and how it will change after this procedure. I've been told by many people that I'm crazy. They tell me in different ways you know like......your not that big......you don't look that bad.....and there are many others but my favorite is, YOU'VE LOST YOUR COTTON PICKING MIND!!! After pondering that sentiment I think that they are probably right in their assumption but their timing is off. I haven't lost it yet. It occurs to me that most of my life when it comes to food I've been thinking with my stomach and not my brain so I see (after removing a large portion of my stomach) where it could affect my intellect. Isn't that what we are doing it for? To change our way of thinking about food? So I intend to stand firm in my decision to have this procedure even if some people think I've lost my mind for doing it. I certainly hope that it affects my way of thinking about food and I am positive that I am more intelligent for choosing to live a healthier life.

I'm still in the hospital . I will be released from here tomorrow. I had a great night and this morning my ice chips seems like ice cream. I can honestly say that I've had no issues. I have found a dermatologist down the hall so I'm about to have some botox done. How cool is that. I may be able to go over to the local craft and farmers market in a bit if I keep doing so well. Thanks again for all of the prayers.

Hello to all sleevers!!
I just wanted everyone to know that my surgery was done around lunch time today..I am thanking you all for the prayers and I'm thanking God for seeing me through the surgery with out any issues. I had a hernia repair as well as my sleeve surgery. I came back to my room took a short nap then went for walk #1. Been out walking 4 times 2-3 laps each time. I've cleaned up as much as possible without showering (only because Doc said absolutely not) and I'm in my own P.J. sitting on the side of my bed catching up with friends and family.
I think that is pretty awesome. I know I have a lot of work ahead but I have been blessed with an awesome start!!!
Love to all,
Dawn

Sorry I tried to post from phone and goofed!! If I continue doing as well tomorrow as I have today I may get to try liquids after lunch tomorrow which would be nice. Thanks for checking on me:)

Hello Everyone!!
Sorry I've been absent. I've been preparing for the big day which is Friday for me. My assistant and I flew into San Antonio on the way to Peidras Negras. We are attempting to have a mini vay- cay and occupy my mind. Guess what? As beautiful as our view of the River Walk is I can only think of one think and that's my new sleeve. How wrinkled will I be when I lose weight? How much better will I feel Physically? and etc......
Anyway..... Love and support to all sleevers past, present and future. I am saying a special prayer for strength courage and calmness for all of you scheduled tomorrow. Best Wishes.
