getting there...

I called the surgeon for Geo to see what else he needs to get the surgery. It's just a lung function test and a cardiac test. He also needs a camera down his throat. After that, they will have everything to present to the insurance for the final approval. He's never even been anywhere close to surgery before. His previous attempt was killed by the surgeon who said he had to be under 500 pounds. (he's 567 pounds). but now we are almost there. My mom is going to come down here and help out when he gets the surgery. My only worry is that his weight is going up instead of down. I think we will cut out going out to eat until the surgery. That, and he has to give up soda. I'm worried that when he goes on the all shake diet 3 weeks before surgery and he can't have food OR soda. He wants to quit at the same time he starts the shakes. I think he needs to quit before so it's not such a shock to his system. 
I haven't been doing much lately. Just staying around in the house in my PJ's. I do have good news- I'm a size XL. When I started this journey I was a 3X almost at a 4X. My weight isn't great, but I know my body is changing and shrinking and that's a good thing. 
I have my DMV driver's test on October 6th. Please keep me in your thoughts! I'm 31 and I've never had a license. I'm not a good driver, so even after I get it I won't be driving much. My car is a boat (98 Cadillac DeVille) and so it's harder to drive than a regular car. Hopefully I can rent a car at the DMV to use. I hear that they do that for people who don't have cars. It's like $30 or something... Not too bad in my opinion. We will see how it all goes!
