7 Weeks since surgery and 60 pounds down!!

Aug 17, 2011

I literally had my surgery 7 weeks ago today.  I got on the scale last night and I've lost 60 pounds already.  It makes me wonder if I'm losing too much too fast because I've seen on other blogs that people aren't losing as much as I am, especially how fast I am.  I don't want anything to go wrong anywhere else.  But I want the weight to continue to disappear.  

I mean I have some serious struggles lately, especially with introducing food to my pouch.  I'm supposed to be on a regular diet but that hasn't happened yet.  I'm still pretty much on a liquid diet and some minor foods.  Ones that I feel most comfortable eating.  I really want vegetables so bad but I'm scared because I tried last week and it didn't go so good it made me sick and have dry heaves.  All I know is this has been one of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my life. 

Another thing I'm struggling with is the protein.  I have my protein shakes but gosh what else is high in protein that I might be able to EAT.  I tried a protein bar and OMG it was the worst thing I've EVER had in my LIFE. I'm the type of person that would just suck it up and eat something even if it was bad but I couldn't do it. I throw them away. I've tried 2 different types and both were terrible. They left after taste and I was stuck at work with no tooth bush. All I wanted to do was bush my teeth, THANK goodness I mints. 

I think I'm starting to see a difference in myself now that I've lost this much weight. Before I didn't notice much but now.  I wore a pair of carpi's today that I used to have to lay in the bed to button and zip up but I didn't have to do that this morning. Normally I would have to undo the zipper and button when seating at my desk but I've left them up all day.  Plus I pull them away from stomach!! :)
