Yesterday marks two weeks since my surgery and I am feeling so blessed. I have lost 20 lbs in that time and have really had no problems to complain about. I was so worried I would have trouble getting proteins and liquids in and that has just not happened.
I think I have mentioned before how much faster it seems like my doc moves us thru the food phases:

I did it. It went so very well, I keep waiting for the problems to begin. But that is just crazy - I need to just be thankful that things are going so well and leave it at that.

Dr. Hart's office called today. My surgery is scheduled for Friday, November 15, 2013 @ 8:00 am. I am having a minor freak out now - am I really doing this; what if I have a really rough time with it, what if I am not successful even after going through all of this. I have been eating so bad lately what if I can't break this new, bad habit. I have to stop - this is crazy - it is what I want, need, and have been building up to, right?
I have a bucket list and here is my #1 item

After reading posts from folks who had called their insurance companies to check on the status, I called mine today. They have received the request from Dr. Hart's office and I have been approved. Scared now but thrilled too. Now I am just waiting on the Dr.'s office to call me with a date
