2 Months since VSG
Dec 16, 2007
I am miserable at keeping my blog updated. I really had plans to keep such a good log of my weight loss, since this was going to be the "last" weight loss journal I would have to keep. Oh well, here goes for months 2. I am down to 176, that's down 35 pounds since surgery. I feel great. I still have a few issues getting foods down, but that is getting better with each day. That is simply because I try to eat too fast. I know I'm loosing slower than it seems most are loosing, but I'm happy with the results thus far. I'm almost halfway there. Not bad for 2 months.

Today is my one week mark. I am amazingly pain free. Just little twinges under my left rib cage at times and my back hurts a littlel if I walk around too much (went to Walmart to shop and found that out). This morning weigh in was 196.5 that's 14.5 pounds down from the day I left home the day before surgery. I am getting my liquids in ok, but it does take all day, a little bit here and a little bit there. I am using the protein bullets for my protein, I find that the 45 gram size is very thick and sickenly sweet, but the 26 gram size is much easier to get down. I gave up on liquid vitamins, and I'll wait till I can do chewables. Tomorrow I go to "full liquids" which allows me to have some yogurt and foods like that. mayabe a soup that's a soup not just the broth from it. So far this has been a great ride. I have no complaints, I mainly just laugh at myself.

Less than 1 month to go and I go from excited to worried and back to excited again. I read that this is totally common and am just waiting till the date gets here. Real estate market really slow here in Atlanta area right now, so I decided that since I'm putting out $10,000 for surgery that I probably should have some positive cash flow coming in so I've taken a part time job back in the nursery at a local hospital. So, on top of working real estate 5 days a week working at the hospital 2 days a week and planning surgery....wow, I'm a little overwhelmed. But, it's nice to be back with the babies in a much slower environment.
I have a date!!!

Today I called and scheduled my sleeve surgery with Susan at Dr. Alvarez's office. My day is October 16, 2007. I have made my travel arrangements and a friend that I worked with for many years is going with me as my support person. My husband is supportive, but he is a little on the uneasy side I think. He worries about me being so far away from home and maybe something happening to me. I worry too, but not enough to miss out on this opportunity that I have looked for for so long.
