A phone call from a friend here on SparkPeople reminded me that I have not posted for a while and it was time to tell everyone how well I am doing. Although it does not show on my spark record, I am now down over 100 pounds since I started this journey on January 23rd, 2012. What a wonderful feeling it was when my Doctor reminded me of that. I still have about another 80 pounds to go but am well on my way.

I am still on soft foods until I see my Dr. again this Friday, but am hoping that I can go on to a regular diet at that time. That is the plan so unless they find something wrong there would be no reason why I can't finally have a salad. I never thought that I would actually crave green salads, but I can't wait for a shrimp salad.

I am also now three months out from my Ablation for the Atrial Fibrillation. I saw the Dr. that did that last week and am wearing a heart monitor for two weeks to assure that all is well.

For the first time in over 6 months, I don't have Dr's appointments every day of the week. The only appointment I have next week is with my Bariatric Surgeon on Friday. I just don't know what to do with all my time but am slowly getting back to quilting and knitting. If you want to see some of the things I am doing, check out my Facebook Page at:

Hope all is well with everyone else.
