....I was wearing a delightful hospital gown and waiting for my surgery.  To date, I've lost 18 pounds since surgery and 34 since preop diet began on December 1.  I'm still playing with my daily protein goal, but I have no trouble getting in 60-80 grams from food alone.  I want to up my protein, but I think it will take a Premier shake daily to get there, and that means watching my caloric intake too.  Whew!  I think going back to work next Monday will help me find balance in all the planning I currently do when it comes to my daily menu.  I don't get hungry, but I work really hard at planning my meals so I get the right balance in calories, carbs, and protein. 

My one month date is Thursday, and I'm really hoping for two more pounds to drop off before then so I can say 20 pounds in the first month.  But, what will be, will be.  As long as I continue to lose, then I will be thrilled!
