Another Update!

Aug 26, 2009

Well, I am 79 days out from surgery.... and it's been an interesting (though mostly pleasant) ride. As of this morning, I weigh 205lbs. Woohoo!

I had my second fill last Tuesday, just over a week ago. At that appointment, I weighed 209. So, 4lbs. in 8 days is something I definitely cannot complain about! :)

I cannot believe how much healthier I feel now that I'm on a strict, healthy diet. I've cut out 99% of greasy and fried foods... and am finding that my taste is slowly changing... I actually prefer healthy foods over junk foods. Thank God... otherwise this journey would be a LOT more difficult!!

I'm slowly finding ways to eat healthier versions of the same "junk" foods that I used to love. I've never had much interest in cooking (the microwave was my best friend pre-surgery... yuck).... but I'm finding that I really enjoy experimenting and coming up with new food ideas. It's amazing how many delicious substitutes are out there if you look. :)
