Time is moving fast. Seems like yesterday I was in the ICU recovering from my surgery. I am glad that it finally stopped hurting to eat.......but now I'm in a new stage. I have never in my life been
so much. I have discovered barbecue pork and too much applesauce are not my friends. Since it doesn't hurt I'm thinking I can eat normally......but oh no!! Raw veggies are off the list for now, hamburger, and steaks are bad. I also have to watch my carbs....something that I love to eat. I am at the stage where I am 
a lot to avoid eating things I shouldn't have. I have grown very tired of sugar free and diet drinks, so now I drink watered down juices. O course I keep an eye on my calorie intake because I am afraid of gaining weight again.With my tummy so small I have to make smart decisions on what I put in there. I'm at the stage of beginning to deal with the reasons why I eat
I have to get into a better schedule with eating my healthy meals, getting my protein in. I had blood work done and everything is on point except my vitamin D was low 
I still wear the same size clothes even though I am very close to being 100lbs lighter. I still have severe back pain which prevents me from standing a long time, but my knees are very happy these days. Now I need to find a workout regimen. As soon as my wound heals I want to get in the pool 
. Hopefully I can get physical therapy to help build up my strength. I need that structure and discipline to get started. My last issue is the 
, or the lack thereof. Stool softeners and laxative are my friends. I look forward to the day when I can stop taking so many pills. Maybe that's TMI, but I am being honest. I plan to take more pictures soon...I haven't caught the photo bug yet. If I can get my belly to flatten I would be a very happy camper. I want to get my sexy/sassy attitude on.
