its been like 5 months since I last posted. Shame on me. It has been a roller coaster of a ride. I had my 6 month post op. I've lost almost a 100lbs. Still need to loss about 40 more. I take my vitamins daily but after my labs i do have to start iron. That's going ok so far.

My eating: I have good days and some bad. This holiday weekend has been a combo of both good and bad. I know this will be a struggle make the right decision everyday. I do try to be mind full of the carbs and eat my protein first. 

Well I want to jot a few things down.    

Today I'm on the forth days of soft  foods. Things are going OK still trying to map out my food and make sure I'm getting in my protein with out drinking a shake. But i think i will need to get one in at least once a day.

It still amazes me on how small my belly is. Like for dinner I had like 1/4 of tilapia fish fillet and one piece shrimp and my belly was full. CRAZY!!

I did have a protein bar it look several hours to eat but i think it had to many calories it was a total of 240 calories and 19 grams of protein.

I'm getting in my water /crystal light. i am logging every thing in fitnesspal just to keep and eye on things.

Well i cant believe that is been 5 days since being sleeved. I got out about about yesterday for a few hours and I was pooped by the time i got home. I need to make sure i have my protein drinks before i get out and do any thing.

I'm glad my mom is here with me. She was the clock watcher on making sure I got my fluid in hourly the first few days.

I have to say I'm go glad i haven't had any gas pains or had to take any pain pills at home and in the hospital. I did have my PCA pump and they gave me Toradol in my IV. My belly does growl a bit but other wise I'm not hungry and its not bothering me to watch my mom eat or while we watch the cooking shows. I hope this continue until i can get mushy foods.

Well I'm trying to document my progress.

I'm sleeved!! its been two days now. It seems to be going OK. I'm home sipping and resting with my mom. She has kept me on point with sipping and getting my 3 oz in every hour. I also took my BP pill i was worried it was going to be to get stuck but it went on dow. It felt a little funny but i was ok...lol
 
I had my first victory before surgery. In the pre-op room.  I wanted to weigh 299 before I laid on the OR table and I made it!! I was so happy!!

I have to keep sipping and walking.

I don't blog much but wanted to try to jot down a few things of my journey.
