So I'm down 40 pounds now - what a great feeling! I move much better and feel better everyday. However, some depression has been creeping in. I'm told this is normal due to all the hormones that have been housed in my extra fat that are now released so I'm not too concerned. I would like this to pass though. Even 40 pounds lighter I don't feel much different, I'm still me.
We laid off 2 employees on Friday - it sucked. One was a really great guy the other was an accident waiting to happen but I don't like to see anyone loose their job, especially not in these times. Everything is so bad everywhere it's hard to keep a positive attitude but I'm so happy and thankful that I have the greatest family and we are all healthy. We have food, shelter and clothing. These are just some of the things I'm thankful for this year!

6 Week Mark
Today I had my 6 week check up with my surgeon and everything is going fine. I told him about my problem with eating meat or fish and he said it's normal but after 6 weeks I should be starting to eat with a little less discomfort. I'm down 34 pounds now and should be down another 30 by Christmas - WOW what a gift to myself!

The Time of Change
Woohoo - Obama won!!! It's an exciting time to be a part of this wonderful country!
NM6 went to the doctor yesterday because his stomach has been bothering him for so long! We'll the doctor ordered blood work to check for Celiac. Carrie took him this morning, screaming, to have his blood drawn. When I told Erika, she simply said it's about time they check him for that - he's so bloated all the time. So, now we just wait and see.

5 Weeks Out
Well I'm down 30 pounds now and am starting to feel it. It's good to be able to put my socks on again!!!
I only got sick 4 times, twice I had to vomit. Sometimes I just don't know what to eat.
The family is doing good - Nick is being tested for Celiac because he's had an upset stomach for almost a month now.
Abby now has a lip ring - it looks ok but why????? I told her if she kisses a boy and he has a ring they could get "ring lock" and have to go to the hospital to be separated - she just laughed.
Carrie is down 40 pounds.
Erika is down also but I don't know how much. She's going for Lasik surgery in Phoenix on November 15th.
I have my support group this evening - I need to pick up some protein drinks.
