Hi All,
It's been awhile since I've posted.  It's been 4 months since I've had my surgery and I'm feeling great.  In the beginning I had a rough patch where I got dehydrated and had to be readmitted for about 3 days.  But I've been great ever since.  I've dropped 45 lbs since the surgery and went from a size 18/20 to a 14 and still getting smaller.  My family now calls me the amazing shrinking woman!   

To get in my proteins, I drink a protein shake (GNC pro - 20g/scoop) 2 scoops mixed with a light juice (Crystal light) and fruit and makes sure I take my vitamins.  They are so important because I do feel a difference when I forget to take them or just get plain lazy.  I still have to do better with the calcium pills; they're just so gosh darn big and I can't take them at the same time I take my other vitamins due to the iron.  But I'm working it out.  I've learned to eat slow whether I wanted to or not due to a few episodes of dumping...After feeling like I just had the worst hangover, I've definitely know better!

I still haven't told everyone about the surgery; of course, they're all wondering.  But my closest friends & co-workers know.  I haven't had to deal with any "haters" so far, but I know they're out there.  So, I'm ready!
