HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! So Friday was my 31st birthday and I spent the day listening to Evie tell me happy birthday and sing me happy birthday and then we went out to eat Mexican food and had a donut with candles so she could blow them out.  Saturday, we spent the day with my parents and ate dinner with them and then went down to the local bar with friends and had a Hippie themed night.   Josh got me a printer/scanner that I desperately need working from home, my parents got me some pajamas for after surgery and some cash, which I also need, and my friends got me some alcohol, a cute glass, and a Starbucks gift card.  THANK YOU ALL.

I was nervous after Colorado to weigh in because in 9 months I have only gained one time and I didn't want this to be my second but THANK GOODNESS I lost 1.6 lbs!  I did work really hard last week and did cardio more than usual to try to offset anything I did gain and it worked luckily.

After another weekend of some junk food and alcohol and then my husband talking about all the stuff he wants to grow for us, I really wanted brussel sprouts for lunch....he didn't :)

My lunch in front, his in back
I am thinking about starting a YouTube channel in December.  December 6th I have an appointment for my labs and some other stuff they check and then December 13th I start my pre op liquid diet so somewhere around then I figured I would start it.  I am really inspired by other people and I love to learn as much as I can about anything I am getting into to so I want to document my journey (being able to physically see the changes) but I also want to help people who are looking into surgery.  I also want to help people who know me but won't ever be on this journey, understand.  I will continue writing on my blog and probably only make a video once a month or something.  Let me know if you watch YouTube, if you would want to see my videos, and any topics you might be interested in me talking about.

*Day care update*-For some reason they are just now doing interviews with people and its been over 6 weeks since the incidents, if not longer.  My understanding is that the director (K) refused to the let the interviewer have a private room to talk to staff so they had to meet in a kitchen as (K) lurked in the hallway and heard everything. Surprisingly, but not surprising, it was found out what staff did their job and reported all of this, and she is now fired.  Now, I only hear bits in pieces of the story, I am sure, but something just doesn't add up to me.  How can somebody, especially somebody who is under investigation, deny a private room AND THEN use the information she is able to hear, to fire somebody?  There should be some kind of job protection for people who do the right thing, follow the rules, and then get fired for reporting when people don't.  PLEASE comment if you have any knowledge in this area.  I still think it is insane that this person who is a mandated reporter, failed to report/reported incorrect stuff, and is STILL running the daycare.  I also think it is bullshit that she continues to send out rules that are supposed to be followed through email when she doesn't follow the rules...I don't know, all of this makes me feel crazy and angry.  I was really hoping that on Friday, my birthday, I would get some news that justice was served but I will just keep praying, and please, if you are reading this, pray too.

3 months + 2 days

I GOT A SURGERY DATE!  December 27, 2018 at 8am I will be having VSG ( Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy).  SO, on December 6th, I have to get labs, chest X-ray, and an EKG to ensure I am in top notch health.  I also get to talk to the doctor that day just to go over everything for like the 3rd time and I say that in the best way possible.  Nothing makes me feel better than getting as much one on one time with the man who will be doing the surgery and making sure all my questions are answered.  THEN, I have to be at the hospital at 6am on the 27th and the surgery will begin at 8am; it will last around one hour.  I have to stay in the hospital that night and then I should be able to break out the next day.  I can't drive for one week and I can't lift over 10 pounds for two weeks........EVIE!!! :(  I CANNOT wait to be blessed with this tool that will not only HELP me shed the rest of my weight but HELP me keep it off.  I still have to ...

116 lb transformation

So here we are DURING the transformation.  I am excited that there is this HUGE, apparent, difference from August 2017 to now January 2019.  I can't wait to see the transformation that happens in the next 1.5 years.  I have eyes, I have a chin, I have a beck, I have HEALTH!   I am one day away from progressing to Food Stage 3 since VSG.  This means adding in deli meat, tuna, chicken, and really soft veggies.  I did try ham last night and it went just fine.  I tried chicken franks today in some beans for protein and it went fine so I am looking forward to eating more normal.  It is scary to try new foods because maybe it won't agree with my stomach but I want to be able to eat dinners with my family (although it will only be 2-3 oz haha). Pork and beef are off limits for now and I am OK with that.  I made a calendar with our meals for the next month and on it is scallops, cauliflower rice, zucchini, shrimp stir fry, ricotta bake with ...
