It's been a month since surgery and I've lost 17 pounds.  And I've lost 48 total since the beginning of this journey.  I started solid food today and am doing okay with it so far!  My only issue was that my boyfriend made french fries in the deep fryer and I wanted to just try one.  Well, one turned into 6!  No more of that for me!!!  I can see how easy it would be to go back to my old ways and it terrifies me!  Back to eating only healthy protein. 

I had my surgery on 12/28/12 and according to my surgeon, all went well.  She even repaired a hernia while she was in there.  After surgery, the pain meds were sufficient.  But day 2, they took me off of the first pain med and put me on Lortab which made me throw up.  From then on, I just took tylenol and experienced terrible pain.  I wished I hadn't had the surgery at all and started having severe anxiety.  I could sleep nor could I sit still for any length of  time.  I got discharged on the 30th and a now am finally feeling better.  I'm not hungry but want to eat real food.  I need to work on my brain now!

I got my surgery date...December 17th!  Now I have 12 more pounds to lose!  I sure hope I can do it.
