Finally added photos

So I finally got around to adding photos in my profile.  I added some baby ones---just because I had to show them off.  Some recent, some from 2 summers ago after one of my many diets.  Every spring I would diet.  Lose 40 pounds for the summer, and do it all over next spring.  I am so thankful for this upcoming surgery!

What a beautiful family. I can't even imagine having babies that small anymore. My youngest is 4 and I am gonna be 42. Ten pounds to go for my birthday goal How cool is that. Thought is was not gonna happen. I wish I had thought of doing this surgery years ago. Oh well the best years are yet to come..:-)

You look like a different girl in each picture, dark hair, blond hair. Your are beautiful, husband cute and babies are just ADORABLE>  my God they couldn't be any cuter.  Thanks for adding those pictures, easier to put a face to who we're talking to.

Tanya! Awesome pics!!  I am glad you did that, now I have an idea of what you look like when I come find you in your hospital room!

I would love to visit as well but will wait and meet you all at post op support group meetings. I know I didn't really feel up to company in the hospital. I ll send you an e card through the hosp though..Owooo if you don't mind pm me your last name so they know who to deliver the card too lol.

Thanks everyone!  It is much easier with a face to go along with posts.  It is funny how much I change with my weight.  My wedding pics I had long straight hair.  It is up and down all the time.  Always smaller in the summer, bigger in the winter (except the summer after babies I stayed big---which is where I am now). I will be so glad to quit this cycle.  It will be nice to not have clothes ranging in so many sizes and all sorts of season.  The countdown begins...

Laughed right out loud when I saw the pics of the babies as chickens. What we put our kids thru?!

You are a beautiful woman. I love the highlights in your hair. Very sassy. This will be the final diet for us. No more regaining and losing and regaining....

Does your husband have a brother? LOL. What a cutie pie.

Hope your day is going good. How's the bprep going? Key word going!!! LOL.

I did something really stupid last night. I went to have a protein shake for fun and realized the one I really love AES Chocolate has 17 grams of sugar per serving!!!! UGH!!! I need to get something different. I'll plan to drink it all week to use it up cuz won't be able to have it after.

I'm thinking of you a lot today hoping you are hanging in there. I'm sure you're hungry and your butt hurts. It will be over at this time tomorrow!

Do you have an angel that can give us updates? We're going to want to know you're out of surgery and recovering nicely.

My husband dressed up as a farmer and he wheeled the around the hospital he works at in their radio flyer wodden wagon!  ll the old people LOVED them!   I just had my first batch of the phosophrus stuff---we shall see how it goes.  I bought the lemon ginger (not even thinking it had to be mixed with juice).  So here is a tip---probably get the plain kind.  Lemon giner in diet cranberry grape is NASTY.  Well, it is gross stuff anyways.  I started with a straw thinking I wouldn't tast it as much---too slow.  Plugged my nose, but I don't think I can swallow with it plugged. Chugged it down. I have so many different protein powders that I like now, I hope that I like them after.  When you are up here and on the protein liquid phase I will have to hook you up :)  I have whey gourmet peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and artic frappe cappuchinno.  I also have strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate micellar milk on it's way and will be here Monday.  There is 40 grams of protein in a container (17 ounces) and it is thin like milk.  Everyone uses that in place of milk to make their pudding, in their coffee, or even to mix with another protein powder.  They say the strawberry tastes like quik. My mom is going to call Stephanie (shatcher) with an update.  I also taught my mom how to post under my name, so she may do that as well.  If you find out about your insurance (since I won't be online) you should send one of those free cards to my room from CMMC with a note to let me know.  Not sure how you do that, but I know these ladies know how.  Or you can always call or have someone pass along the news.  I am crossing my fingers you hear Monday and come up Tuesday for a pre-op mtg. 

We'll definetly send you cards! I loved getting them! We just need your last name!!!! 1

Can someone please tell us ladies that didn't have our surgeries at CMMC how to do the "card" thing? I'd love to send Tanya a card also, I just don't know how. Thank you, ~dori~
