Good morning!! I'm FINALLY done with my pre-op testing, I thought it would never end!! I had my endoscopy yesterday, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm basically just waiting at this point and i'm really starting to feel alot more emotional. I've been preparing as best I can: Buying protein powder and vitamins, a sippy cup, baby spoons, measuring cups, big baggy PJ's for in the hospital and at home recuperation, etc. I really don't have anything else to do except finish my will. What did you all do in the few weeks before surgery once you had all your pre-surgical business taken care of? I need to get my mind off things. Have a great day! ~Jenn

Thanks Melissa!!! you are too sweet! I'm planning on doing ALOT of walking for the first 6 weeks, then I plan on combining that with cardio and light weight lifting for toning. Once I drop 100 pounds I plan on taking a tai chi classes and doing pilates.. got anything else I can do? *hehe* ~Jenn

I got some laundry piled up you could come over and take care of. Let's workout together AFTER your surgery...I think I might be giving up on this whole thing..not sure yet. I go to a small gym in Addison...bunch of old people there, nobody to look at us.

LOL any thing to get my mind off of things! well, anything except laundry! Where's the gym in Addison, I hate the gym I go to now because it's more like a social event for hardbodies than an actual place where people work out. ~Jenn
