Wow what a journey and so worth it
Hey guys so it's been over a year now and I have lost over 70 lbs.
This was so worth it except now I'm getting very lazy and eating bad foods so I've been stuck at 145 for the last couple of months.
I'm going to start smarten up and loosing what I'm suppose to which is another 15-20 pounds .
Let's see . This was definitely worth it.

Thank you for the update!
Finally in Tijuana-- this place is so nice!
Hey guys so ive made it, im a bit concerned cause i havent lost much weight but it maybe that im retaining all this liquid from being on liquids for so long.
So the ride was good, the driver from the airport to the hotel was awesome! Really nice and the hotel is just like it is everywhere else in the chain of Marriotts :)
I have a window room and the view is beautiful --kind of reminds me of Athen's hilltops.
I am super nervous but really excited abt tomorrow.
Ive tried the chicken broth and its yummy :)
Will be ordering popsicles soon!

Almost there!
So im on my way to San Deigo, can i tell you i feel hungry!!! I had a chicken noodle soup from Tim's without any of the stuff from it just drinking the broth. There is not much choice in the airport when it comes to diet drinks and sugar free stuff. So try to pack drink flavours to add to your water on your flight there.
I was amazed that the airline only had diet coke-- which i dont think we are allowed to have so i just got tea with a little sugar. ( i know i have cheated a bit but i wouldn't of been able to drink it without)
Anyway, im feeling nervous and kind of excited but i know in the back of my head that there will be more pain than gain (in our case loss!lol) initially.
I didn't get to step on the weight scale before leaving so im not sure if i have lost anything or not.
Lets see, praying and keeping my fingers crossed that the surgery goes all well. :)
