    Default Now I wait!

    Stomach xrays were the last hurdle for me. I got my xrays last night so now I wait. I start my liquid diet on 09MAR. Time usually flies but now it is crawling.

    Why did you have to get stomach x-rays?

    You start your liquid diet on my birthday I know it seems like it's dragging, but it will eventually fly. I can't believe it's already been almost 3.5 years for me and I'll be eating cake the day you start your liquids...something you may be worrying you'll never get to do again. But yay! You will.

    YES...when you are waiting for surgery it seems to crawl by. After...it just flies again. Before you know it you are looking back wondering how you got to goal so fast.
