1.  A great friend who helped me get through one of the hardest weeks of my life. 

2.  My surgery and the new life it is giving me.  I' not going to live the same life as my parents, who both died in there early fifties.  My dad passed away last saturday at 53, and I don't want that for me.

3. Size 2x shirts!  Gone forever are the days of wearing a 4x or 5x!  Also, size 62's are a thing of the past, bring on the size 48 pants!

1) I slept A LOT today....and needed it !!!

2) Step brother did work on our Kitchen. It should be done before christmas

3) Going to have a fire tonight and chill with a couple of friends

1. Most of our Christmas shopping is done, we only have the hard ones left.

2. Getting ready to start the fire and watch a movie with Greg, post a new pic with the two of us.

3. eating and drinking is getting a little easier.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of your father. I just took a lot of 48 pants to good will yesterday. Congrats on the weight loss.

My condolences to you and your family

1.  My sister being able to come and spend two weeks with me while I'm recovering from non-gastric bypass related surgery.  She returned to Louisiana today and arrived home safely

2.  Drove for the first time today since surgery.

3. Being able to move around a little more and get some things done around the house.

Congrats on the weight loss -- hey you might skip the size 48 pants altogether -- don't be surprised when you do.

So sorry about your father!

1) 11 hours of sleep last night - and I aim to try to equal that record again tonight! I'm so exhausted lately!

2) two days of clear liquids done. Aargh!

3) One more day off. (well actually a day of paperwork, but at least I don't have to see patients or get any pages/calls. 

1.  I was invited to a friends house for Thanksgiving Dinner which was really nice since I was kinda bummed that it was just going to be my partner and I for my last pre-op Turkey day dinner .  Since I have no clue how to make all the cool side dishes it was really nice to enjoy the greenbean casserole, jello salad, and sweet potato casserole.

2. Found a REALLY nice pre lit tree at Walmart for 35 dollars!  Partner has been begging for a new tree for the past 3 years... who'd have thought we'd find a great tree for cheap! 

3. Got 30 Christmas cards out in the mail... more than half way done.  (remind me again why I signed up for a  Christmas Card exchange lol)
