I know, I totally need to find quick meals too for this summer when I work all day. What I really need is quick breakfast stuff. I hate waking up in the morning so I usually just have to grab something quick for breakfast.

At that cooking class we made this awesome veggie and cheese cassarole, this turkey bean thing and a few other things. I should send you the recipes. The veggie thing was awesome though, and really easy. Good to make like on the weekend and eat off all week. Hmm.. anyway enough about food. It's making me hungry! haha.

Hello dear. Life is good. I dunno, I'm like ready... I just want the next week to fly by and be over with. I'm ready to keep dropping weight, I'm ready for summer, ready to eat again (anything...lol). I'm worried about the pain. But I know I am strong and will get through it. Gonna attempt to pack my bag for the hosp tomorrow night. What did you bring?

I got the book from Barnes n Noble. It's pretty awesome. My mom went to a bariatric cooking class with me at my hospital and they suggested it actually. There was another one too... Recipes for life after WLS. Didn't buy that one yet cuz B&N didn't have it. But they have it on amazon so I'll probably get that one too. It's just reassuring to know that we can eat good food after... ya know? :0)

Hey Katie! How's everything going with you?

Yeah... it would be nice to be able to tell him why. Maybe he just doesn't wanna ask and feel like he's being rude or something. I know what you mean though. My boy hasn't asked me why yet and I don't know if he will. Just knowing he is supportive is enough for me I guess.

Speaking of fertility... my friend just had her baby this morning and I went to see her. Gorgeous little baby. She's only 5 pounds!!! My heart was melting. haha. But, as I held her I seriously felt at peace with my decision to do this. Just knowing that someday it will be me in that hospital bed holding my little newborn. Ughhh I can't wait to be a mommy.... I wanted to steal her!!! hahaha. Then my friends baby daddys friend was like 'Call me when you wanna have a baby' as I left I was like... UGGGH! Pig! Men are so disgusting! lol...

Ah lovely! Don't you just wanna be like SHUT UPPPP! when kids say that stuff? haha. I must say I have pretty much heard it all. 'Ms. Angie, why is your tummy so big?' 'Ms. Angie are you having a baby?' 'You need to lose weight Ms. Angie' hahaha. But then again kids will tell me how pretty I look, how beautiful I am, they love my hair, clothes... whatever. So I take the good with the bad I guess. lol. Can't blame them for their honesty! lol ;0)

Mmmmm.... food!!! haha. Sadly, I won't have real food til like the 25th. hahaha! Yikes! All that sounds good though. Do you cook? I suck at cooking. But, I got this awesome cook book called 'Eating Well After WLS'. It has like all the stages and stuff. It's pretty awesome. So I'm gonna start to cook. My mom is actually a pretty stellar cook so she said she'd be more than happy to make stuff outta there. She also said she will eat with me, like what I eat. hehe. So that is nice.

Have you heard from this boy yet? Girl, you shoulda just told him your gonna come and help. Not asked. lol. Silly girl. ;0) Boys, boys, boys.... ugh! They drive us nuts and they have no clue. haha.

Well hello gorgeous! I'm good Just pmsing big time. Damn hormones! I feel like I could eat my damn weight in chocolate. GRR!

The concert was interesting. It started at 8 and she was done by 10. I was VERY surprised. I'm used to most concerts lasting until 11 or something... But it's not like she actually sang or anything

NYC was a blast! I bought myself an early B-day present, my first Coach purse! It's super cute. It's hot pink I LOVE IT! I should've saved the moola but I couldn't resist. We had dinner at 'The Melting Pot' one evening and then took a day trip to Washington DC.

How are you doing?

I am SO so SO glad you asked him if he needed help. You go girl!!! Put yourself out there!! You will have to tell me what happens. ;0) I'm suuure he will say yes. Then you can dress up real cute to go help him and flirt like crrrraaazy! ;0)

I doubt he is thinking 'Angie is cute' probably more along the lines of 'Angie is a DORK!' haha. He's been very supportive about my diet this week, and the surgery as a whole. Which is nice. :0) He makes it hard for me to breathe sometimes... lol. ;0)

Work has been great. I've been in the kindergarten room this month with Scott... :0) The kids just make me happy, most of the time anyway. I will miss them when I have these 3 weeks off. This one little girl told me today that I was 'too chubby' hahaha. Gotta love kids and their brutal honesty. But, then another one of my girls told me today that I was so beautiful. haha. So that kinda made up for it. lols.

Are you goin' back soon?

Hey love! I have GREAT news! I got a new scale today and I am down 7 pounds already!! Ahh! Exciting! I am hoping that I can get below 300 before surgery next thursday, only 3 more pounds! Which I am sure with this liquid diet, will not be a problem. The diet is MUCH better today. I have more energy (it's almost 11 and I'm still awake, lol). Stomach has kinda been growling today though. Didn't do that yesterday. And I picked up some of that protein water... it helps! :0)

I take iron too, and vitamin C, vitamin D and then a muti-vit. I had to stop them all though when I started this 10 day diet. What kinda vitamins do they have you on now? Your still on the puree foods right?
