Surgery went well. Recovering is a bitch though. They pumped my stomach full of gas, and its trapped causing me tons of pain. Along with the actuall procedure pains. I'm ready for this to be over with.

Surgery date is finally set. After months of prep and paper work, it's finally going to happen! Tomorrow I meet with my surgeon for pre-op dieting and prep. Then on August 2nd is the day that will change my life for the better. Fingers crossed!

Happy Mothers Day to all you beautiful Moms out there!!!

Starting Physical Therapy this morning. Hopefully my back can take it this time around!

I go for my first diet weigh in on Tuesday and I'm happy to say I'm down 20lbs in four weeks. Learning to eat the amount you should versus what you want had been a big challenge. I have two more months of weigh ins before surgery. I have a long road ahead, just need to stay focused. Eyes on the prize!!

Close your eyes, tilt your head back and pretend you are shaking a salt shaker into your mouth.

You'll actually taste salt, try it!!!
