I can't believe it's been a little over 6 weeks since surgery!  I had my 6 week follow up with the surgeon and the nutritionist yesterday.  I can now use the weight machines at the gym, along with the cardio ones.  I am also now on the Phase 5 plan for eating, which is still high protein and low carb, but adds a lot more fiber and variety of foods.  I was starting to get very hungry 2-3 hours after a meal, which the NUT said happens if you stay on the soft food plan, so I guess my body was telling me it was ready for the next step.  I ate broccoli with my protein last night and it went down fine.  This morning I had blueberries with breakfast and it was ok too.   I am now starting to plan ahead again, as I was in a routine with the soft food plan, so that I continue to make good choices, and not eat on the fly which gets me in trouble.

Thanks!  I lost more than 1/2 of the dropped weight before surgery, so since 8/22, my loss is 23.3 lbs.  I feel great and am pleased with how things are going.  My only complaint, if you can even call it that, is that I need more clothes that fit and don't want to spend a lot of money.  Oh, poor me - not!  LOL
