Almost Five Weeks Out

Apr 12, 2010

Well, so far so good.

I have lost 21 pounds since surgery and 39 pounds total.

I was wearing a size 3x tops and now I'm in a Misses Large.  I was wearing a size 24 pants and now I'm in an 18.  Hooray!

Even my shoes are too big!

I'm keeping a close eye on my blood pressure because it is still kinda low.  I go back to my primary doctor next week.

Some post-op things I'm thankful for:
Magic Bullet - makes it very easy to mix up those protein shakes
Sno Cone Machine - I want everything ice cold!
Sugar Free Popsicles - the best!

My DH is out of town this week so we will see how I do.  The busier I get, the harder it is to keep track of and take in all of my fluids.  I think I will start grinding down more ice to mix with my SoBe and Vitamin Water.  I'm also starting to get tired of eating the same things over and over.  Once you cook something, it takes forever to eat it all.  It's not like you can just throw the chicken onto a salad.  Maybe I will try to make something like crabcakes with some left over chicken?

I'm thinking about my friend, who will be having surgery on Wednesday and wish her well.  I know she's going to do great.
