Final pre-op progress photos, a Thank You!!!, and more!

These two pics will be my final pre-op progress photos. I'm sure I'll take pics the day of surgery, but not for progress shots. Those will more just be silly pictures. So, what are the final pre-op numbers?

HW (heaviest weight)= 393# (2009)
StW (Starting Weight)= 363#
SuW (Surgery Weight)= ?
CW (Current Weight)= 280#

To math that out for you... 113# since 2009, 83# since April. Not bad, overall, I'd say. We'll see where I end up. I'm shooting for 150-175#. I give a broad range because I'm not sure how 150# would look on my 5'8" frame. I guess we'll see. So, there's that.



The second part of this blog is dedicated as a THANK YOU to my husband's cousin, his wife, and their boys. They've been following my journey, and sent me one of the books that I wanted but was going to have to wait on for budgeting reasons (I mentioned in one of my last blog posts). I started reading it on Saturday (the day I received it in the mail), and I can tell it's definitely going to help me on my journey. Life is Hard, Food is Easy is Definitely going to be a good read for me. THANK YOU guys!!!!! :D



So, I got my bracelet and vitamins in the mail today. My bracelet is beautiful! Sadly, there's a slight problem with the medical symbol... it's damaged, but I contacted the company (they sent me an e-mail as soon as I ordered, asking me to contact them in case anything was wrong, so, I'll let you know how their customer service is). The good news is that if they can't do anything for me, the medical symbol is engraved into the charm below the pink symbol, so the bracelet will still be useable.


I'm kind of mad, I forgot to put "No NSAIDs" on it. (EDIT: I got another bracelet, same style, but put 'No NSAIDs" on it). But it comes with a wallet card, and the thing that's blocked out in the pic? That's my husband's phone #, so, he knows to tell them that I can't have NSAID's if they call him.

So, I also as I said, got my vitamins int he mail today. It was awesome, because Celebrate sent me some freebies too. :D


I can't sadly, try the protein bars... they have LOTS of carbs, and rice in them, but they sound amazing. A friend of mine is going to try them. :) The small green things are Celebrate Calcium soft chews. They're mocha flavored. They have them in lots of different flavors though. I also got a 10% coupon off my next order too! :)


This is what three months of my vitamins looks like. The bottles are HUGE. I can't wait to try them. Orange Pineapple sounds awesome. :)

Finally, since I've come to the realization that I will literally be skipping Thanksgiving this year (with surgery on Wednesday, not a whole lot will be happening on Thursday), I gave in today and started listening to Christmas music at work... I'm also thinking about putting up the Christmas stuff tonight or tomorrow night, if I can convince my husband to let me. ;)
