Rennie!!!

Hey girl... I hear those seconds tick tick ticking away!!!  How are you doing on the liquid diet?  What's going on?  Give us an update!!!   Wow.. Monday is close at hand.  I am SOOO EXCITED for you!!!

Hey Jenn, My liquid diet has gone very well. By my scales, I have lost about 12 lbs. and have not cheated once.  We will see Monday when they weight me what exactly what the truth will be.  Been buzzy at work and friday got counted out for my time off. It seem to make every thing real at that point. Woke up this morning @4:00am. Haven't been able to sleep well the last week. Alot on my mine. I have a long list of things to get done by Sunday night. Cleaning the house before my mom flys in on the 22 of Dec.  A meal schedule for George and her, ect. The the biggest thing is that I went into my closet to get organize and got overwhelmed. It has really set in what is about to happen. I got a little weepy. Not because I'm not happy about what is about to take place, I'm about to start another journey and leave the last 5 months go. I assume this is a natural feeling everyone goes through.  Reenie I

Gosh, Reenie, it's hard to believe your big day is TOMORROW!!!  I am so happy for you! What you are feeling is absolutely normal, of course.  If I were you, I would keep myself busy doing pleasant things instead of getting overwhelmed organizing a closet.  You will have plenty of time to do that when you get home from the hospital.  Just no heavy lifting! Yep, this is one of those life's "passages" or another chapter in the book of your life.  Some people never add beyond the first page.  You are re-creating your life and taking a positive direction.  You are living the solution.  You are accepting responsibility for your own happiness and wellbeing.  Congratulations!  Do you have an angel to keep us posted while you are in the hospital?  I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and prayers, my friend. Love ya, girl!

Thanks for the support Shazanne, I didn't organized my closet to keep myself busy. I decide to shampoo my carpet instead.  Reenie

Oh My Gawd!!!! I'm so excited for you I could pee.     My turn's coming too...I can feel it! Each day is one day closer. I'll be on the edge of my seat waiting to hear from George. You're in my thoughts and prayers, girl. Love ya! xoxo Mare

Your a trip Mare. I'm so excited I could also pee. I laugh so hard I did. He! He!   

Hold on to your hat Reenie the best thing ever is about to happen to you. Wow 12  pounds this is great it will mean your liver will be smaller during surgery. Dont forget to take before pics. You will be in my thoughts on monday.                                                    Annie

 Thanks Annie, Atlas my liver has a good start on WL. George took so many pictures of me it's scary. In a nice outfit then in capri pants and sleeveless top. It's not a pretty sight!

Go Reenie, go Reenie!  I am so excited for you girl!  You're surgery and recovery are going to be totally uneventful and painless.  Make sure we're updated.  Big hugs, it'll all be awesome! Robin

Hey Robin, It's been awhile since I've heard from you. Thanks for your support. I will keep you in -formed. I will be at Mercy at 9:00 and surgery @ 11:00. Reenie
