Well I'm about 22 days post-op and everything is going well.  I went to see my surgeon on Feb 11th, and he was happy with my progress.  He said if I was still loosing 1-2lb a week he might put off my first fill.  That's exciting,and kind of offputting at the same time --- I mean I got the tool to help.   I've moved into a  pureed mushy hybrid diet.  Although I'd kill for something more solid!  I do feel better than Id id when I was on just liquids.  I feel fuller longer --- even though I do get hungry.  I suppose its that lack of restriction.  But overall I'm doing just fine :)

So here it is!  Today is my day!   And I'm everything that I should be: excited, scared, nervous, wondering why I'm doing this again.   But from what I've been told if I do not feel that way then I should be even MORE worried!   Thankfully my pre-surgery weekend ended up being so busy I couldn't think about anything but the task at hand.  I was going through the Membership Intake Process for Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated all weekend!   It was exciting, and wonderful -- and I left on Sunday afternoon with more new sisters than ever and a sense of being part of something so much biger and more wonderful that I ever could have thought!  I'm ready (upon recovery) to dive into the process, get put on committiees and just get my hands dirty providing service to all mandkind :)  

Now I suppose I should focus on the immediate task at hand -- which is to pray for an uneventful day today and a speedy recovery!   I'm looking forward to gaining a tool to help me keep my health in check, and prevent the comorbidities that I have seen my Mom and other family members go through.   So now I get to hang out and be hungry -- and then go change my life for the better.  

Wow -- twice in 24 hours I'm working to change my life for the better.  How awesome!
