Oh Katie,
What a lovely holiday gift for you! I just know you will do really well. You are the epitome of a model patient, and your commitment is obvious. Start grouping your clothes together in stages so they're easier to round up to wear and round up to pass along.

I'm mostly looking forward to how 'Toony Toon' changes in your sig line!

What was the door prize?

I was just thinking how STUPID my closet is... stuffed full and yet I wear the same few things over and over again. It will be nice to pitch big clothes as I go...

My door prize was a 3 pack (21 envelopes) of Medifast drinks (yuk)... Hot Cocoa, Capuccino & Chai Latte. The sugar content is fairly high (8-10 g) -- so my guess is that I'll use them pre-op (and that they were cleaning out their storeroom)... they gave away big golf umbrellas, a rolling cooler, some blankets with their logo....

I've told the Mr. that he has to give me at least two good weeks with NO complicated medical issues... poor guy said, "I'm trying hon!" As we talked about my upcoming "thin-ness," he said, "I'm going to be jealous..." With all his health issues, he could stand to lose a LOT of weight... but because of his health issues, WLS is not an option... I told him he'll probably lose weight just cuz we'll be eating better... actually he has been eating MUCH better since his recent hospital scare.

(4 a.m.... too excited to sleep! Maybe I should go TOON!)

Woohoo!

Katie- you make this site such fun with your amazing spirit and positive attitude. On this side of the Atlantic- it's either yes or no.. but with your insurance- you have to jump through such hoops. Congrats, you are going to be fabulous! ( You already are!)
