Dean is doing great!! He has lost nearly 8lbs this week. He was on a fluid diet all week. On the 25th he was able to start with pureed foods! He had grits for the first time ever. HAHA! He actually liked them. He's doing so great and I am so proud!! I actually gained a pound this week! Oh well...it was my Birthday week...and I splurged a little! Today, the 26th I have lost it again! WOOHOO! Here's Dean's weekly picture!!

1 Week Post Surgery!

He did it! Dean made it through the surgery with flying colors. He went in on Monday morning and came home on Tuesday afternoon. It would have been earlier had I not had a little mishap. I stopped outside his car at the hospital to get his phone out and when I went to get back in my car it had locked itself. My car was running, locked, and in the middle of a parking garage. Luckily, our roadside assistance took car of getting a locksmith out to open my car. That was a 45min setback! HAHA!! Anyway, Dean is down 22lbs since we started on January 28, 2013. I am down 7.4lbs. Not bad either!! Dean is on a liquid only diet for now and seems to be doing really well with it. I know he's looking forward to the puree part next week!! Here are 2 pictures. First is day 1 and the other is from today! A HUGE difference!

Today is the BIG day!!!

Dean is being operated on right now!! Today is the start of a new life for him!! I am so nervous for him but he is/was ready!! Here are 3 pics to show his weight loss since we started this on January 29th!!

One week down...

Well, we made it 1 week!! Dean lost 8.4lbs and I lost 4.8lbs. Not bad for a week! This week Dean has had to move on drinking protein shakes only. It has been a little bit harder this week for him!! Only 6 days left until the surgery!!
