Update... with pictures!

Hi all, I know I haven't been posting much, just busy I guess.  Well, Friday made four weeks since surgery.  I can't believe how quickly it went by.  I have to say looking back the first week was the hardest as far as head hunger.  I'm amazed how much my body has changed.  I have very few bad food cravings, my sense of smell is off the charts and the things I liked before somehow taste different.  I started purees on Sunday and I have to say it's more of a struggle than I anticipated.  Eggs are gross, seriously I craved an egg  and now I have all I can do to choke it down.  weird.... I made chicken salad, yummy, pureed spinach looks gross, but really what doesn't when pureed.  I also made ricotta and a litle sauce and ff cheese....YUMMY!  I have yet to get all meals in though.  I'm not forcing it.  I feel great.  I am so thankful that I've been given this opportunity to change my life.  I hope that for all of you pre ops out there, things go as well as they have for me.  I would NEVER go back.  Anyway, I've added some new pictures to my profile.  I see a little difference, can't wait to see what 130 lbs. looks like!!!!!  Love you all, hope you are enjoying your summer so far.  I agree with the previous posts....I do not feel like eating anything in the heat.  I have kept up with my protein shakes though.  Have a great day!!!!

You are doing and looking Maaaavelous.... congrats and enjoy ... hugs Cheryl

Ditto what Cheryl said....."YOU LOOK MAAAVVALOUS!!"  Keep it up...you are doing great!  Glad to hear you are feeling so well!   Ruth
