two weeks today

Wow..two weeks in already!!  Its so hard to believe!  God is so Good..and all the glory totally goes to him!!  The last two weeks have had their up and downs but overall..things have gone pretty smoothly!  I have no horror stories to tell..ive not been sick..no throwing up or anything! I am still pretty sore on my right side and i am still primarily sleeping in the recliner and  i also have to eat slow as Christmas..but all and all things are going well!!
I have also lost a totally of 25lbs!!  YAY!!!  Which is so AMAZING to me!!  I know that it want continue to come off so quickly..but I am praising God for every pound..ever half pound, for ever 1/4 pound..even ounce lost!  I have gone for years and years and years...with the scale not budging at all so to see even the slightest loss to me is so Phenomenal!!
 On Saturday I had my first eating out experience with mom and dad!  We had gone to the Iris festival parade and afterwards we were all hungry but dad was so sweetly trying to just get me home!  I finally said.."Im hungry..i need to eat!"  Thats all it took for him to realize I was fine with eating out!  I told him that I would have to get used to it sometime!  WE went to Country Korner in Dresden!  I couldn't decide what to get because I knew I was having chicken for dinner!  I finally decided to get Tuna fish..because I knew it would be soft and easy to eat!!

It was yummy...i didn't eat any bread or the veggies..(I can't have raw veggies yet) but I managed to most of the Tuna fish!!  At one point the waitress came over to me and said she could have just brought me a bowl of tuna ..if I wasn't going to eat the bread!  I guess I should have just asked..but I still want to look like I am gonig to be eating as normal as possible!!
Others things i've been eating are...omelets, chicken, deli meat, refried beans, cheese, tuna, ground turkey and turkey sausage!  A cousin of mine brought Ed and I a deli tray full of meats and chesses on it this week!!  It was so awesome because I could eat anything on the tray..and all the meat was soo soo yummy!!
I have got to spend some much needed quality time with my Cami this week!!  She is so funny and at lunch..she can't stand for someone to have something she don't!  So I had to share my lunch!

There is no one I'd rather share my lunch with!!  At one point she took the bowl and turned it up and started drinking my chicken, mushroom, greenbean mixture!!  It was too funny!!  I finally just fixed myself another 3oz and let her have my first bowl!!  

I said from the very beginning of this whole adventure..that no matter what happened I wanted God to get all the glory from all of it!!  Every moment of this journey has been possible due to him and I could not have gotten through any moment and still can't get through any moment without him!!  I feel so blessed already and i know I still have so much hard work ahead of me..but I also know that all things are possible through Jesus Christ!  SO BOOM!!!

I just want to say Thank you for all the prayers, cards and sweet, kind words that everyone has been sharing with me!!  They all mean so much!!  Every day i feel a little stronger and a little better and I can't wait to finally get to the end result!!!  Love to all!!
