Congrats, Shelli! I hope to join ya some time this year! I'll be doing some of my pre testing that day, so I'll sure be thinking about you!

Thanks Amy!!! Maybe we will see each other. I do not know what time my surgery is yet. Good luck with your pre testing!! Let me know how it goes!! shelli

CONGRATS on your surgery date. The day will be here before you know it. The time goes by really fast now oncw you get a date. I have surgery July 12th. So only a few days before you. Good luck! Melissa

Thanks Melissa and good luck to you also!! Shelli

Congrats Shelli! Bring on the Jello! I've been out of town visiting my sister, then my little sister got married, so it's been a crazy couple of weeks. I'm a little mad at myself for eating some junk this weekend. It seems to be a natural reaction to being at my mom's, I felt physically terrible, so hopefully that will be enough of a deterrent for next time. I've lost 82 lbs so far and have my 3 month check in a few weeks. Patients at work are noticing now, so it's getting to be pretty fun! I joined the Y and have been swimming a lot, trying to stick with what I enjoy. Aren't you excited? The liquids will get easier and easier, pretty soon you won't even be hungry. Just keep your eye on the prize! take care! Colleen

Hi Colleen!!! It is good to hear from you. I have been wondering how you were doing. Sounds like you have been very busy. Congrats on the 82# weightloss!!! That is awesome!! I have been thinking about joining our Y after my surg. I think swimming would be easier on my joints!! I am very excited, but also have periods of that feeling of gee I hope I am doing the right thing. But I have no other options left, so I guess it is the right thing. So far the liquids have not been that bad. I was a little nauseated yesterday, but it passed. It was really weird I got a headache and the chills last night. But I feel fine today. Almost wonder if I had a little bug. Yes I keep reminding myself of the prize!!! Shelli
