Hey all,
So I didn't measure the other day as promised but we will measure on sunday when its been 2 weeks. I do see and feel big differences in my clothes and body as the days progress... I am looing my double chin!! I am very excited about that-- now I can take really good pics! you know the kind - from above shoulders only.  Anyways everything is starting to fit better- I was even wearing my "fat pants (jeans) " today and I had to roll them up and they were supper baggy, not to mention I could take them off w/o even unbuttoning them. very excited about that! 

Here are some things going on lately, Protien has been hard for me to get in. I am getting sick of the shakes and all the sweetness. I wanted to eat more soups but couldn't b/c I had to get that protien in. I ordered the unjury unflavored from unjury.com and it has like 20 grams per scoop. It should be in on Friday. Excited about that b/c I have been craving something more flavorful than the shakes.

I started making my shakes a lil different- adding 2 teaspoons of yogart. it helps alot. skim milk, protien powder and 2 peices of ice. Oh and I've been adding a squirt or two of that new mio water enhancer.

So I've lost 18 lbs so far! Very excited about that... I have a wedding I am in and the dresses are in. Its in a month and I ordered the dress 2 sizes smaller than my size from before the surgery so we will see how that goes.

One more week until i can move onto a new food group... I'm gonna try and make it thru, I am running out of creative options but I will make it! Well getting tired.... gonna run- Christy

So its been a week since surgery. While in the week it felt like it was going by so fast but now it feels like it was so long ago, if that makes since. I had a bridal shower that I helped host yesterday, I might have over done it but I stayed home today to get some RnR before I go back tomorrow. Tomorrow maybe a half day, we will see. We really can't afford for me to be off much longer.

I've lost a lil over 15 lbs this past week and I can start to see and feel the changes. I'm not sure but to me that feels like alot in the first week. I;ve heard everyone is different tho so we will see. I'm not really hungry, only when I smell something really good, It reminds me to eat. I'm still in the liquids phase - only 1 more week until I can start putting food in the blender. I really miss solid foods at this point. Especially dinner type foods like meat.


Well thats all for now. We are gonna do measurements tonight and see how that goes! - Christy
