Well went to the Doctors today for my 4 week follow up. The weight loss has slowed down. ALOT .. I feel like i did something wrong but I am sure I am still on the right track.  As far as scars they said the doctor did so well that they wont be seen some, but I am going to keep putting vitamin E oil on them, 1 keeps the itching down and 2 helps make them disappear better. Today she also told me I can start solid foods. THAT SCARES ME. I so bad wanted to be at this point, by didn't think Id see it for a long time. WOW! Now thought cross my mind what can I eat, what do I eat. I tried chicken ( a few days ago) and it got stuck in my stomach and hurt so bad. Makes me scared to try again, but chicken is a good source of protein. So I think i may try to eat slower chew more and try something more moist ( dark meat) She said I can eat everything, regular veggies, salad, but be smart small portions, salad is last if at all. PROTEIN FIRST! also start drinking less protein and EAT more protein. Something I will learn in time.

We made plans today for valentines day, since I am on solid foods, we figured snow crab legs will be a good thing to make, soft and easy, just gotta remember to chew chew chew! And the hubby will have potato salad or Cole slaw. i would like to go to a movie but don't think we will make that this week. maybe next week.

don't think there is much else to update on .. oh as of today I am 224lbs. they said down 32 lb since surgery, I guess it is ok, beats the 29 lbs i lost the first 2 weeks, but i need to remind myself I didn't eat for 16 plus days that's why I lost so much so fast, I am not trying to get food in my system, even if I don't think i am hungry trying to get everything vitamin wise that i need. It is a slow process and I need to keep telling myself that, but i got spoiled loosing that weight fast upfront, but a pound a week is good too, that's where my friend is and she is 8 months post-op.
