Weightloss/Wedding #2

Well lets start off with the weight loss.

I previously mentioned that the dr wanted me to lose 15lbs before my surgery. I can say I have hit that mark! WOOHOO! I have lost 16lbs now since my last visit with her. All together I am now at 21lbs down! I still have 2 more weeks of the preop diet. Hopefully I can lose another 10lbs these next 2 weeks. I am going to start walking every night for about an hour to help lose some more weight. It's really coming off slow these last 2 weeks but my monthly friend was here and I had been sick. I think that messed up the scales a little bit. I really hope I do not wake up from the sugery with no band. I am so afraid of that happening. If my liver is too large she will not be able to place the band. I would have to wait a few more months and lose more weight. The only problem with that is I will have a new insurance kicking in January 1st. So I would have to go through getting approved all over again.

I have read that some dr's will fully open you up to place the band. (they would make one large 4-5 inch incision to place the band). I think I am going to schedule another apointment with my dr and discuss this option with her. I guess I need to call and make that appointment today. I dont know I might just hold off. I guess it really depends on how much I lose this week. If I loose another 3lbs by Fri I think I will be ok. I'm having a hard time now getting in my protein. I wonder if that has something to do with it. I guess I need to get back on my shakes and stuff to make sure I get my full 70g in a day. I guess enough about the weight loss I will try to update again Fri or Sat with how much I've lost this week.

The wedding:

I went to my mom's this weekend and made the "mock" invitations with the samples I recieved. I really LOVE the invitation. It's so cute. I can't wait to make the real ones and get them sent out. My mom really seemed to enjoy spending the day with me. It was non stop wedding talk.

We were talking about what type of wedding cake I wanted. I told her I just wanted some thing very simple. (kinda like me) I wanted a white frosting cake with a pink ribon around the bottom of it. Something like this:

My mom use to make amazing birthday cakes for my sister and I when we were little. I asked my mom if she thought she could make my wedding cake. She started to tear up and asked me if I really wanted her to make my cake. I said of course I do..it would be super neat to be able to tell everyone my mom made my cake. My grandmother made her cake when she got married. Why not continue the family tradition right? Hopefully I will be able to make my daughters cake if she would like. Not to mention my mom making the cake saves me about $500.

Anyways I will post some pictures of the wedding invitations soon. I keep forgetting to take pictures of them.
