Hi everyone!

Hey everyone!

Well I did my weigh in and Ive dropped 13 lbs so far in 14 days. My husband said my face is getting skinnier and skinnier everyday. My clothes feel a bit loser but honestly I dont feel any different. I try to stay away from the scale so I dont torment myself LOL I took the dogs out yesterday morning for a 2 mile walk and it felt good to get out and move. The pain in my side is almost gone and Im hardly using the Loritab anymore. I get my staples out on Friday and they ITCH like crazy!!! I started myself on pureed foods last week. My doctors office has this crazy protocol where they wanted me on clear liquids for two weeks but I was getting dizzy and had no energy and felt like crap because I was starving. I have not gotten sick off anything so far and I actually am starting to feel *full* off the pureed foods instead of starving off broth and protein shakes. Im going to Walt Disneyworld on October 15th and I cant wait!!!! Im a HUGE Disney freak and go to the park at least three times a year. Hubby will be up in Maine on a helicopter operation so I am going by myself... if ANYONE wants to go let me know... I have two queen sized beds in my hotel room so you have a free place to stay!!! It will be great excersize walking around the parks anyways hope everyone is well and enjoying the cooler weather.

Congratulations Darcie!  Sounds like things are going really well.  Thanks for the update. Take care. Ellen

If youve never been... you should check out Halloween Horror Fest at Universal Studios - its a scream (haha I am funny!!). Both the parks are really great!!!

That's great Darcie! You are doing EXCELLENT! Do you ever go to the support groups at SS? I know you are a ways away in Richlands, but I thought I'd ask since the October meeting is tonight. I plan to go and so does my husband. You are doing so great so far and you are just in the beginning! Keep up the good work and have a blast in Florida!!! Maybe you can get one of the girls to go with you! :) Keep me posted on how you are doing! ((((((((((Darcie))))))))))

Darcie,

Congrats! You're doing great.

Careful on those rides not to bust the gut!

Have fun and stay cool.

YAY Darcie!!  You are doing great!!  I had to do liquids for two weeks after too and 4 weeks of liquids is killer!!   Keep it up girl.  You need to post a new pic for us to see.  :)

Darcie, it's great to hear form you and know your are doing so well.  I read the posts from all of you who have just had the surgery and it inspires me so much. I just want the 19th to hurry and get here.  I start my liquid Optifast on Friday morning and hope I can drop about 10 pounds before surgery.  Keep up the great work and have a blast at Disney.  I can't believe you are going all by your self.  Be safe girl!  Get a photo of you and Mickey to post when you come back Alice
