Last week I had my 2nd post-op checkup.  I've lost 62lbs already.  I can't believe it.  I knew the weight would come off but I had no idea it would be this fast.  At this rate the first 100lbs should be gone by October.  If it isn't, I wont be disappointed though.  My doctor was very please and surprised as well; I've never seen him so animated.

I've never lost this much weight at one time before so this is very exciting for me.  I look forward to more success.

I still haven't told very many people I've had a procedure and I'm not sure if I want to.

As of this past Tuesday, I'm 8 weeks post op.  Thus far I haven't made an effort to journal any of the changes that have transpired and I should definitely get better at doing that.

So far I can tolerate everything I eat which is good and bad.  I can still eat chocolates without dumping.  Trust and believe chocolate still tastes good though I can only eat a teeny tiny amount before I don't want it anymore.  Half of the time I dont want any type of food. I do skip meals often which  I also know is a bad thing.  I have to get that protein in.  Though I've found that I can eat foods I used to I'm also very surprised to find out I don't even want them.

I don't even look at food the same. I ended up with two free lunches today and I was terrified.  There was nothing I could do with all that food!  I stared at it for a while then end up throwing it away.  I hate wasting stuff but  I knew I wasn't gonna eat it later.  Most of the time I bring my leftovers home to the kids.

I really don't have anyone I can lean on to deal with these emotional things I'm going through.  It's a very difficult process.  I may schedule some time with the psychologist at the surgeons office. I expect she'd be able to help me figure out ways to cope.
