2 MONTHS POST-OP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on June 27, 2007 4:46 pm
Yesterday was my 2 month mark. I have lost 45 lbs now. I have been doing very well with tolerating foods. I think my favorite is steamed shrimp. It's lots of protein and stays down great. I still have a little trouble with protein shakes, but I am stil trying different things. I went to GNC I found a liquid protein I thinking of trying it in some unsweeten OJ.

I was wearing a size 24/26 now I am wearing a size 20. I think that I my be able to get into a 18 in a week or so. The other day I was still talking with my sister-in-law and guess what? I was able to cross my legs. I can't remember the last time I crossed my legs.

I am enjoying the new me. The first few days after surgery, I was trying to remember why I had surgery. Now I know it was to have a much healthier life. I thank GOD everyday for giving me this opportunity.

Well I've been talking too much, so until next time. God Bless you all.

This is my second week back at work. While I was at home, I wasn't eating that very much. Now that I have gone back to work I need more protein to fuel my body. It is going ok right now getting better with my protein intake. I have gotten really good at drinking water. According to my scales, which were maybe 1 pound off from the doctors, I have lost 44 lbs now. God is great!!!!!!!!!!!
