Um, can I get a re-write???

Hi there! This is going to be a short post. A more detailed (and animated) version of the past week is on my youtube channel :) Today is 7 days post op and I weigh 196 pounds!  That is down from my 12/16 weight of 218.7.  22.7 pounds GONE!!!! Tomorrow is a big day.  I'm going in at 8am and they will remove my drain (man that thing sucks!) and the 16 staples which close the five different incisions on my belly!  If all goes well, I will be allowed to go on a full liquid diet (I've been on a clear liquid diet since surgery!)  I can NOT wait because I am sick sick sick of sugar free jello, popcicles and broth!  Not that I'm hungry.  I'm just sick of tasting that stuff every single day! Besides that.  Shelby has been such a good helper.  I am going to have to treat her to something special when I'm back to 100%! Okay, that's it for today.  I'm tired. I hope everyone is having a fantastic 2010 so far! :) Love and blessings to y...

Hi Everyone. I've been on a clear liquid diet all day today - no food and it is hard!  I have to get through tomorrow and then be at the hospital at 8:30am Tuesday.  I have a hunger headache which stinks, but beside that I am just peachy! Christmas was good.  Shelby has told me several times that this was "the best Christmas ever!"  I like that!  I'm not sure what was different from past years.  Maybe less drama because we stayed away from it?  Who knows! This isn't going to be a long post because (amazingly) I really don't have much to say. I'm ready.  I'm just ready.  Ready to move onto the next phase of my life.  The phase in which I become a healthier happier Mary Beth!  Of course, I am the most important factor in making myself happier, right?  It's going to be a process, but I am READY! If everything goes as planned, I should be home by Wednesday afternoon.  Recuperating in my own bed.  Gratitude tim...
