Hey, Anna!! Good luck up there Tuesday!!
We always park in the deck across the street north from the Piper Bldg. Make your final approach heading north on 10th and turn left at the light, then your first right into the deck. It's cheaper than valet parking in front of Piper. Stop at the desk as you go in the door and register. They'll take some info as it's your first time there, and give you a bunch of sticky labels for the office to use on your records. They'll also band you so they know who you are.
Take the lift to the third floor, then turn left twice and it's at the end of that hall on the right. The folks there are great, you should enjoy them.
Drive safe, and we want a full report when you get back!!

Hi there! Yesterday was 4 weeks since surgery. I'm just going to cut to the chase and get to the picture posting! To be honest, I was surprised when I put these next to one another...
Quite the difference, ne? That's 20 pounds gone since surgery. The day of surgery I was 258 pounds. Two days this week I had to wear a belt with my shorts because my underwear was...

So I've moved on to pureed foods. Today is 3 days post surgery. Last night I had pureed cottage cheese with some soy milk added to thin it out a little. It was yummy. Then this morning I had cream of wheat made with soy milk and also added some plain yogurt to it. I put a scoop of unflavored protein powder in the cream of wheat. I was able to eat about 3-4 Tablespoons of it and I started to feel full. 30 minutes later I'm really glad I stopped when I did or I would be in pain.

Tomorrow is my surgery. I'm super excited.
I took the magnesium citrate this afternoon. It worked within 20 minutes. I've been pretty cleaned out already on this whole liquid diet thing. It's nearly 6pm and we're already "running clean" as it were. I'm trying to keep myself busy until around 8pm when I can do my shower thingy and go to bed. We went to bed around 1am last night and Ben got me up at 8am so I would be able to sleep tonight. I'm pretty tired right now....

I'm SO freakin bored. I never realized how much time Ben and I spend preparing meals and enjoying them. I have one more day to get through before I can do the whole "take the evil magnesium citrate" stuff. I might call tomorrow or Tuesday morning to double verify my information.

Oh lord. First day of liquid diet. It felt like the day CRAWLED. It's not that bad but I would KILL for even a damn slice of american cheese. It's mostly the salty/savory flavor I'm missing right now. I'm tempted to just take a salt shaker to my tongue. As it stands right now, I have had about 700 calories and 90g of protein... Maybe a slice of cheese will not throw me off the wagon. NO! NO CHEESE! I will NOT cheat. I am peeing like crazy, too. I've probably had about 80 ounces of water IN...
