19 days post op- 27lbs down

Jan 31, 2009

Well, its been 19 days since my surgery and I am down 27 lbs, now weight at 209.  This is exciting, however i starting to get a little bit down b/c the scale has budged since Monday, the day i was allowed to start eating solid foods. So now im nervous that the weight loss will stop b/c im off of liquids. Im considering just going back to the protein shakes for a while to lose more weight. Also, now that i have introduced foods, i am doing the whole, trial by error thing, figuring out what will go down and not get stuck, and well, everything goes down fine!! I mean this is a good thing b/c people have a hard time with foods, but it makes me feel like omg this isnt going to work for me and the only reason i lost the weight was b/c of liquids!!!! Even lettuce, a fibrous food, went down perefectly fine! Idk, i think the next few days im going to stick to protein shake. I realize I should be proud of myself, and tho I am, I still feel disappointed that I didnt lose another 5 lbs or so, since thats about the rate it has been per week since I started this journey. My goal is to be at 200lbs, or I should say 199, under the 200lb mark, by the one month mark, which is Feb 12th. I am going to Florida Feb 24th and want to feel good about myself!!! So i have 9lbs to go with 12 days to do it. I hope this works!
