Well last night the mother-in-law came back from Washington state and brought the family back some good stuff. The kids got a bunch of clothes and a few toys and candy. The wife got some clothes also which is good cause she's the type of person who wants she finds something comfortable she literally wears the damn thing out. She has shirts she worn so thin they can be called see through lol.
Now on to what she brought me. Haryy Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I must say this book is pretty damn good so far and I am only about 6 chapters in. Waking up this morning I was really sad that I actually had to come to work today cause I just wanted to sit at home read. Oh well guess I ll do that tonight when I get home.
On a side note i am 8 days out from surgery. Everythings going pretty good. The whole diet deal was better then expected this weekend. Not sure if my stomach is getting use to smaller amounts of food or I am just learning to ignore my stomach telling me I am hungry. Probably a bit of both.
Well gotta run.
Peace,
Matt

---Under Construction---
Well I ve been rather busy so I haven't been able to give this adventure all the attention I should but that is starting to change. I have finally added a links portion to the right side and for right now it only links to my picasa page for photos. This will change in the future but see as how my mom keeps giving me hell about not getting many pics of the kids and me promising her it would be up over a week ago i figured that I better get it up ASAP.
In other news I am 11 days surgery and this damn diet where I can only eat 30 carbs is killer. I mean come on I sure didn't get big by eating so few carbs. I figure if I can do this the eating after the surgery will be a breeze. LOL.
Other then those few things all been going well. I do plan on updating more often so please check back often and feel free to leave comment.

The Dresden Files
If you haven't seen the show well then you should. The show is great and and the books are even better(which is the norm). But what you may not know is Sci fi has not said if they are renewing the show. They should and there is a rather large community out there that agrees with me. If you are one of them (hell even if your not) please check out this site and help us get this show renewed.
This maybe nice for those Wii owners out there. I plan on checking it out as it looks like it has built in charger for the Wii motes.

T minus 20 days and counting
Well I went to see the doc today for my final physical before the Gastric Bypass. It went as well as can be expected for the doc telling you your borderline diabetic and if you didn't have this surgery soon you'd probably be full blown diabetes in the next couple years.
He did push my surgery date back by 1 day so it's now July 31st. I am pretty pumped. I can't wait to be liberated from this prison of fat I am in. At the end of the visit the doc pulled out a lil camera that he could take video w/ pointed at Soma and I and asked me a couple questions. The first questions I can't remember but that last one I sure can as I just about broke down answering it. What he told me to do was look into the camera and tell myself from 6 months down the line that is having a bad day due to say a grouchy pouch or dumping syndrome and tell him why your doing it. My answer was some what surprising. Ok well maybe not so much surprising but the chills it sent through me answering it. I told him that I was doing this for my kids. My son is going to be 5 in 1 month and I can't even take my fat ass out to play catch more then 5 mins. What type of dad is that. Not a good one in my opinion. I told myself to remember what it was like to live being 424 pds. How it felt like you were in prison and it was your own doing.
It really made me reflect on everything in my life that brought me to the sitution and knowing how I got there I know that will teach me what not to do in the future to put myself back in that place.
Well time to run. Be safe.
Peace,
Matt
