I'm so excited!!! I'm packing, heading to FL this afternoon. Will be with my kids/grands for the next few weeks. I can hardly wait to see them! I bought Kayla, my 11 yr old DGD, a sewing machine for Christmas, as she wants to learn to quilt. She has been sewing her squares together. We will work on her quilt while I am there. I have GOT to have a picture taken of us quilting together. Oh, my scales are packed to go with me. Have a good day~ Sandy

That was nice!

I started the no soda yesterday morning. Made it 27 hours with no soda, then I fell off the wagon... but I'm back on. I now have been without soda for 6 hours and counting... :roll:

I am on a full liquid diet now and I am supplementing my diet with bottles of water.
The shakes taste great and I am having one every 4 hours.
This is not a diet for the faint at heart because it is so extreme but it is what is necessary to shrink my liver and get me under 400 pounds.
I am under ALOT of medical supervision so you can rest knowing I am not going half-cocked on some weird diet because I am not.
I am going to go weigh in again on Friday to see how this is working.
I am taking a yoga/exercise class twice a week and doing my sittercise dvd twice to three times a day. So, God willing, I will lose the 30 pounds so I can have the surgery.
I promise I will keep you guys more updated on how things are going. I sure do miss you guys!

How is everyone today? Tru seems to be on a tear. How hard will she be to live with when the next 30 come off? lol
Starting tomorrow I am gonna begin tapering my DP and only allow myself one can daily starting on Monday. Should have already done this - I have a mammogram coming up and don't need to arrive with tender tissue. Starting today, I will drink 8 cups of water and going for a walk later this morning.
Carrie, I hope you are better this morning. I don't remember having that problem when I got off the Prednisone, nor being ravenous. I pray you shake this soon!

Good morning everyone. I made it safe and sound to FL. (The fires are the next county over) Thank the Lord for my safe trip! Got to my daughter's house right at midnight. When I left my house, I did not stop for anything, not even to pee, which I know wasn't good, but.....
I've always liked to eat and munch while on the road, but not last night. I brought 2 bottles of water with me and drank those. I made it in 7 1/2 hrs, which is good time. Everybody was asleep when I got here. I let myself in with my key. I crawled into bed next to my precious GD, Kayla (the one learning to quilt). She woke up and kept hugging me. Karli had gone to sleep on Kaylas floor, waiting on me to get in. She roused up, smiled and went right back to sleep. Kayla and I talked and giggled until 1:30 this morning. When Madison (2 yrs old) saw me this morning, she squealed with excitement. Now, that made this Nanny's heart happy. My Grands always make me feel so good when they get excited over seeing me.
I will be working remote, on my laptop, from my daughter's today and tomorrow, but have to go into the office next week. I best get off the computer and get back to work. I hope you all have a good day and an easy time of making healthy food choices.
Oh, MJ, I am proud of you and your "nightie" fitting! You go girl! Have a good day~ Sandy
