Hello Okgal50 :)  Life is starting to feel like normal again.  I can pretty much eat whatever I want now just in smaller portions.  I can eat very small portions of meat, like a bit or two.  Liquid is going down nicely. I don't have to take tiny sips anymore so I am able to consume more water, thank goodness.  Constipation has been an issue.  I now drink prune juice in the mornings and it seems to do the trick :) I am still struggling to consume the 50 grams of protein a day.  I mix my protein powder with my chicken broth in the morning to get 28 grams in right away but the rest of the day consists of nibbling on my family's food or a couple bits of banana/avocado/cheese etc.  I'm finally at the point where I am not so dizzy. I use to wake up in the morning dizzy or if I did any kind of cardio(walking up stairs) I got dizzy but not anymore.  I think it's because I am able to consume enough calories for my body to manage itself.   That said if my shower is to hot I still get dizzy quickly. 

I'm down a total of 31lbs including the weight that I lost on the pre op diet.  My pants are all to big!!  Yeah, that feels good.  Mobility is getting much better.  I can tie my shoe laces with ease now and without snapping the wire in my bra when I bend over! lol  It's a good feeling.  I'm in onederland!!  I have to say I didn't think I would get emotional about that but I did.  The emotions came out of nowhere. Goes to show that they are in there just waiting to be dealt with :) 

Thats a loss of 20lbs in one month and 4 days post surgery which isn't record setting but I'm ok with that.  I know how the process goes.  The ladies that I've watched on youtube after one year look amazing.  I feel like I can now start hitting the gym.  Just a slow start to begin with... walking on the treadmill and maybe some arm workouts as I am noticing the bye bye arm starting to show up already.  

Enough about me how are you doing?  Are you ready?  Do you have a date yet?  What's new?  

Talk to you soon :)

What was name of clinic in Mexico?

Hi Amberch.  Could you send me a link for Smart Choice in Clgy.  (wasn't able to find a website when I googled it)

I'm starting my research into getting a Lap Band.  

I have been in contact with a Brampton clinic...but would like to see if I can find a clinic closer to home (Edmt).

My family doctor sent in the referral, I'm not sure why it went to Edmonton, the nurse I met with thought she might have sent it to Edmonton because she thought it would be faster. But it is from AHS it's not like I went to another province...
