Well, it was 3 weeks yesterday since surgery and I have been doing really well. I started going to the gym this past Saturday and the weight really started coming off. The only problem is, I feel really run down after I workout, so I think I might cut back a bit and take it a little easier. I'm the type that I always tend to overdo, always got to go for the gusto, ya know! I've lost about 28 lbs since starting my liquid diet (according to my scale) which started Jan 5th. I've done great with the diet so far, for the most part.

I did go to taco bell today and ordered some of the refried beans, thinking...high protein and pureed! Well, didn't sit so well, that was the first time I dumped and it was AWFUL!!! I never want to feel that again. Of course, I couldn't be resting at home when it happened, I was in the middle of one of my college classes. Nearly fainting in class is not so much fun. I've learned a valuable lesson though, stear clear of refried beans for the time being.

My husband has noticed that I'm getting smaller, which is very cool! I can now fit into size 20 jeans, where I was in a comfortable size 24 before surgery. After surgery (until the staples were out) I was wearing my baggier 26's. The first few weeks were really rough for me but they are getting much better. If anyone has any interesting tips for me, please let me know!
Good luck all!
