First blog in a LONG time !!

SOOOO many things have changed since the last time I have blogged ! I decided to start blogging about my weight loss surgery since It will finally be happening Monday the 28th !! YIIPPPEEE!

My pre-op diet started on the 14rth and has definitely been a struggle so far. I have splurged a little and have gone off track here and there but have lost a total of 14 lbs. That is 14lbsm in 10 days :) WOOT !! I am on the path to a new healthier and skinnier me :)

I found out later today when I will have to report to my surgery monday. I should only stay there 2 total days if everything goes as planned. The first day of course I will have the surgery and then once i wake up go to the recovery room and then finally to my regular room. I will have a pain pump and should be able to get up and walk around that evening. They said the more I walk the better off I will be. The second day will be more walking, walking, walking and they will eventually do an upper gi series to make sure no leaks or problems and then I will gradually be able to have water taken through a small medicine cup. They said that a small medium swallow of water will make me full. After that they will monitor my blood levels, and stats and around 6pm I will be allowed to go home.

The first week I will be pretty much on all liquids and need to make sure i walk 15 minutes per hr I am awake. That sounds like a lot but I gotta do it ! BTW I need to go shopping for some new sneakers :) I also have to take lovenox shots the first week after the surgery FUN !

The kiddos:
They are going to be 18 months !! AGGGGH I can't believe it :) They are such a joy and make me smile and laugh everyday. Carter is a little stinker he loves to run and is definitely my active child. Chloe is very calm and loves to have attention, she loves to look at books and is talking a lot. Everyday it seems like they say more and more words. I will soon start the fun adventure of POTTY TRAINING ...dun dun dunn......LOL I am really dreading this but i gotta do it. Diapers are CRAZY expensive and I think they are ready, at least Chloe is.

Ok so that is my ramble for now. I will continue to update on my weight loss journey :) Stay Tuned !!
