One week since surgery

Today is my official 1 week. My starting weight: 283 Today's weight: 267 Lost so far: 16 pounds   So when I see the numbers I wanna check my math and make sure it really is 16 pounds in 1 week. That seems crazy! I can't believe it's only been 1 week. It kinda seems like a lot longer!! I think the liquid diet does that! I am excited to start the next phase - mushies. I have eaten out twice this week, once yesterday and once today. Both times were at Mexican restaurants and I was able to or

Day 6 again?? Eating out and I've decided I'm really a T.V. chef?

I guess I counted Monday, the day of surgery as Day 1 but really that should've been Day 0. Anyway - I weighed this morning at 268! I've lost 15 pounds in the first 6 days. I am still on liquids so I am attributing this to water weight and just the shock of my body going through the surgery.

Day 6

Starting weight 283 Today's weight 270.5   Still feeling sore, especially on my left side. My stomach muscles hurt and 2 of my incisions are really bothering me. We have 2 small children so we are at home with them today. During the week our nanny comes and helps out which has been a life saver but today it's just me and my hubby. I have to remind myself not to pick up our daughter (2 y.o.) and to be careful bending down. I'm a bit nauseated today. DH made bacon and eggs and the smell is bo

Day 5 - Feb. 11, 2011

Day 5 - Feb. 11, 2011         Starting weight: 283   Current weight: 272   Mini Goal: 250   Goal: 199   Dream Goal: 150-165ish               I woke up in a bit more pain today. I am having internal pain, my husband said it must be my stomach healing from the inside. So I took some pain medication and laid back down. I slept another 2 hours and when I woke up I felt slightly better. I have been sipping water whenever I’m awake. For breakfast this morning I mixed 2 oz. of wate
