I'm bringin' skinny back

5 more days!!!!! OMG....I can't believe it. Ahhh I am pretty nervous. I have been on my liquid protein diet since Friday and have lost 12 pounds....wtf? Yeah these protein drinks are effing disgusting. I have tried several different brands and flavors and they are all gross. Maybe after my surgery I will have a new found love for them?? Yeah prolly not. : ( So Monday's the day....I am scared but soooooooo excited. I am just so thankful that I have such supportive people in my life.

So all this Thanksgiving crap sucks. I can't eat...so whats the point in going? (Sorry to any of my family who may be reading this.) LOL! Saturday was my best friends birthday party at Krank It and I couldn't even party it up with everyone else. I'm not much of a drinker anyways but its usually MY decision. haha. But I still had a blast!!

So I will leave you with this....for all of you who are dreading going back to work on Monday.....at least you won't be cut open on an operating table with 6 people looking at you naked!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Today is Jenn's birthday....the big 27!!!! God I love this girl!! No friendship is perfect, but you are prolly the closest I have ever had! I love you Jenny Boo Boo!!!

*Stay tuned for a Jennifer slide show! It will be posted later today. : )

And then it hit me

OMG 10 days until I'm a new woman! I am starting to get nervous now.

So I had my information class all day yesterday, and then my last appt with Dr. Warnock before my surgery. They also did my EKG......and didn't tell me that they were going to....so I hadn't shaved my legs in like 2 weeks. LOL. I think it was a little uncomfortable for Brian, it being a naked thing and all. And then it hit me.....omg.....I am really doing this. Dr. Warnock came in and talked to us for a bit and then he got really serious and said "Candace, do you realize what you are about to do? And are you 100% sure that this is what you want?" I didn't even need to think about it. Of course this is what I want to do. Then he said " Ok lets do it. I'll see you in 10 days." He also told me that all my husband needed to worry about was all the money he was going to have to spend buying me new clothes. Haha! Aint that the truth! Me and my momma went to wally world to get my "new food" last night.....it was fun. I am kinda excited to see how I am going to like this stuff. I'll let ya know.

Tick Tock

Only 2 WEEKS UNTIL MY SURGERY!!!

I am getting very excited! I'm still a little nervous, but ready. The time has flown by. So Thursday is my last day of "real" food. I will be going on my salad diet on Friday for 7 days and then for the 3 days prior to my surgery, I will only be able to have liquids.....AHHHH!!!!! YUM YUM! I really don't know how I am going to do it because I get hunger pains really bad. I guess I have no choice though...ugggghhh!

So anyways, I had a good weekend. It was pretty LAZY but good. Friday we had some people over and then I spent Saturday with my little angel Tifinee. Yesterday I just cleaned house, did laundry and watched Kenley. It was a nice day. But they are all nice days if you are happy. And I just couldn't be better right now. I am exactly where I want to be! : ) FINALLY!!!

Something new

MY SURGERY IS 3 WEEKS FROM TODAY!!!! OHHH and just to give you a little glimpse of what's to come.....I am exactly the same height and weight as Star Jones when she got her gastric bypass surgery.....take a little look at that!!!

So anyways, I had a pretty good weekend. Brian's birthday party was fun. All of the important people came. : ) We all ate and then headed over to Chuck E. Cheese's for Hannah's birthday party...then it was grand central station in my living room. Haha! Daniel, Amanda, the kids, Jenn, and Tito came over and we all hung out until pretty late. God I couldn't ask for better friends. Saturday was a pretty lazy day and then we had family time on Sunday at my grammas house...and I got to take home all of the food since I won't get to eat it anymore. LOL!

So anyways, I am going to start a new little something with my blog.....its called, the quote of the day.....only I won't have it everyday....just when I feel like it. haha! So here is today's...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!!!!

Its Brian's birthday today. He is 25......YAY car insurance reductions! lol! I love you babe! Anyways, I will see most of ya'll tonight at his party. : )

Me lately

Well I haven't really blogged about me lately so I know its killing everyone to know what I have been up to lately. Ha. Well, last night Daniel, Amanda, the kids, Tito, and Jenny boo boo came over and I made dinner. It was pretty good. Ya'll missed it! Last weekend was a crashing bore. lol. I didn't do much, but me and Jenn watched scary movies all day on Sunday. And ok lemme tell you.....seeing little Jenny Gump (all grown up) naked in a movie was too weird.....ahhh.....too much.
So this week should be just as boring as its predecessor. I have no plans yet, which is really unusual. My family reunion is this weekend but I am not going. I'm thinkin about taking in a little Christmas Magic action. Friday is Brian's bday/party so that will be fun. Well, I know this is absolutely boring....so I'll stop. Preists I'm out!

Happy Birthday!!

Today is Amanda's birthday!!! The big 24! Congrats girl! I love you! Hope to see you soon so I can give you your gift! : )
