Next week makes 3 months out!

I haven't been on here but for no other reason then I have been so busy! I am officially down 40 pounds and I am so happy!! We are away on vacation in Europe the next 2 weeks and so far so good. London has been excellent to get my walking in and as far as eating goes, I eat pretty much whatever I want now just in smaller quantites. I just can't eat much so I need to snack in between meals. I packed lots of granola bars and have been ordering cheese platters! LOL. Getting enough exercise in at ho

Tomorrow= One Month Post Op

I can't believe it's been a month already!! Life is so much like normal now. I can eat out, go to parties with no issues, etc. I am down 29 pounds and feel great. I went to a communion yesterday and was able to find enough friendly protein to eat. I think the hardest part this week has been to eat enough! My calorie intake is not high enough so I have hit a plateau. I ate some shredded cheese in between lunch and dinner today, let's see how that works. It's very hard to make yourself eat when yo

Day 7 Post Op

Well, it's been a week and my life is already different ... in a good way that is My husband and I took a ride in our new car since it hit finally hit 75!! What a beautiful day. We even went to a pizzeria and I had broth with a smile, didn't even crave the pizza!! I decided that I need to go about my life as if I would normally or else I may fall into a rut. We have lots coming up soon with family and friends and I will be @ all Have a great night everyone!! Getting ready to have some broth wh

Day 6 Post Op

I started working from home today and that sure did make the day go by much faster. I didn't blog yesterday since I had a busy day. My sister was kind enough to take me to get a pedicure and manicure since they scraped my gel off my fingers prior to surgery. It was quite a comedy scene since she is 9 months pregnant and I am not walking 100% (a bit hunched over). We must of looked like a coupe of losers. Her 3 year old daughter fell asleep in the car and we had no stroller. Since I would normall

Day 4 Post Op

ok ok, I have to admit something ... I cried today! I just had the ultimate meltdown, I was feeling so down and I honestly don't even know why. Sort of like when you're pregnant and you just cry for no apparant reason. I was second guessing my decision and all but here I am better again and back on track. I absolutely did NOT get all of my protein in today AGAIN!! GRRRR. My nutriionist says I should be taking in 2 ounces of liquid every 15 minutes ... WELL, by hour 4 this am I thought I was goin

Day 3 Post Op

If you asked me this morning I would say there was no way I could handle this. However, I feel so much better this evening! Yay me!! I showered, which I think was the best part of the day's progress!! LOL. The gas is slowly but surely getting better. I ate some protein, definitely need to get much more in tomorrow. I kept my water up pretty well, got in about 45 ounces, I know I need to get more in but it's only been 3 days. Tomorrow I plan on trying some decaf tea. Then Sunday I plan on trying

2 Days post-op

Here I am suffering from these stupid gas pains! I must say that the surgery went much smoother than I thought it would. I was only in my hospital bed for 24 hours then back home I went. The only problem seems to be these gas pains. My incisions look perfect and I have no pain that requires "pain pills". I have only been sipping on water today since I was pretty nauseas yesterday so I couldn't drink much. Tomorrow I will introduce some protein, nutritionist said to try 2 ounces an hour with wate
