6lbs lost!!!

Jun 08, 2011

SO i went to my first post op appt today like i blogged earlier and I lost 6lbs!! I am now at 223!! My blood pressure was beautiful and I feel great!! They advanced me to soft foods and I promptly went to the store and bought HEALTHY soft foods like non fat beans, low fat cottage cheese, soy milk and so on! I also bought a tons of fruits to make fruit smoothies. I have a recipe book that my nutritionist gave at the class i took and it has a bunch of recipes for some pretty tasty blended drinks. Today i have had a lot of water, beans, cotttage cheese, applesauce and made a smoothie out of vanilla soy milk, strawberries, blueberries and watermelon sherbert! I have to get used to my new stomach because the old me wanted to eat like a cup and half of beans but my tummy only allowed me about 1/4 cup with maybe 4 tablespoons of applesauce and then i was full!! I think it's just the motion of eating that i have to get used to that is different..but with the results that i am going to get eating the way i should eat, that is motivation enough for me!! I wore a shirt that i haven't worn since december with a pair of black tights and athena sandels!! It was actually big on me and i felt great!! I have a lot to go but it's these moments that make me so glad i made this decision!!
