Glad to be home

10 Days out
     I am soooooo happy to be home and able to drive again.   I have great support from my friends and have fun seeing them again and showing off all my battle scars, which are healing nicely.   Tuesday morning I had lost 18 lbs but the last two days I havent weighed, just to give myself a little something to look forward to. 
   Learning to eat again is fun.  I actually feel like I have a new toy.  I have eated cottage cheese and  sliced deli turkey and yogurt.  Hormel makes a White Chicken Chili that I love and is FULL of protein.  Im not getting all my water in but Im trying.
  The vitamins have been an issue.  I can't swallow pills like I did before and I can't stomach three scoops of the bariatric advantage crystals- that is just too much liquid to drink.  So today I switched to the chewables.  I figure I will try again with the liquids later but for the first few months when I'm losing so much, Id rather not have the struggle to get them down. 
   I feel great!  I am so excited and smile when I tell people about the WHOLE experiance.   I would tell anyone to do it~ If I can do it.... anyone can.
