Down 35!

Sep 20, 2010

Well its been 3 weeks since surgery.  Today I start soft foods!  Yay!  Its not really that I am hungry.  Its just gonna be great being off pureed baby food!  Ha!  Texter and aroma means the world at this stage of the process.

So I stepped on the scale 2 days ago and was extactic!!!  Not only am I down 35lbs I am also under 300lbs!  So my new goal is to get below 250.  My family notices my lack of chins and thinning neck.  My husband has to keep reminding me to relax my shoulders cuz Im not holding up all that fat on my neck anymore.  Bad news.....I have lost about one cup size on the girls!  Im okay with it...the husband...well he will live!

I walk daily 1 mile around our neighboorhood and have been following the diet guideliness giving to me by Dr. Hendricks.  It is still hard to get 64 ounces of liquids in a day, but you can only take one day at time.  I am starting to have "normal" bowel movements...prior it has been bile...not fun.  Ha!  I know TMI, but I am not going to hold back ANYTHING.  Its my journey!!!   


I am still very sore...but then again i am and always have been a wuss!  My pouch is still sensitive and sometimes even drinking water upsets my stomach.  I am not able to hold down eggs.  I have tried twice and vomited twice.  The only to times since surgery.  So eggs are out of the question for me.

I am doing well for now.  My blood count is back up.  I still feel sluggish, but I guess that is to be aspected.

Good Bless.
