the countdown begins...

after a 3 and 1/2 month hiatus, i've returned to my blog. there wasn't much to report and i was learning guitar and playing the sims 3 so there was no time left for this.

however

i just got my surgery date so the countdown begins!

my surgery is on august 20. so far, i've lost 42 lbs on the low carb diet set forth by nutritionist. prior to surgery, i will be put on a liquid diet of special bariatric shakes. i think i dread that more than being put under...i bought a $50 bag of chocolate flavored shake mix from the doctors' office and i start that on thursday the 5th. i ate mexican food yesterday (carbs) and i ate carbs today...

since the last post a few things have happened - our baby fish speedo passed away and my beautiful canine niece coco also passed away. my heart has been broken by these deaths. on a more positive note, don, savannah and i have all had birthdays so it hasn't been all bad...

my clothes are almost all too big to wear anymore. even new underpants that are all 3 months old are so big i feel like i'm in a sleeping bag when i wear them to bed! and i cannot sleep nekked so i never get any sleep anymore! and nutritionist told me not to buy any clothes for a couple of months...this is gonna be a long couple of months...

so with that bit of completely useless information, i bid you good night. i shall be back to share my experiences with the liquid diet when i start it. i need a blender first.
