Day 8 update - 7/22/10

Yesterday was my birthday--what a weird birthday, on full liquids! I usually have champagne and dark chocolate. I settled for a cherry chocolate protein shake.

The scale says I've lost 40 lbs, but I still can't get into my old jeans. Where am I losing it from--my toes? I swear I can't tell the difference. 18 lbs pre-surgery and the rest post-surgery. It's kind of depressing to know that I have so much weight that 40 lbs is a drop in the bucket.

I feel fine. Recovered, really. I'm not hungry or anything. I'll spend the rest of the week cleaning the house and then I'll go back to work, I suppose. The cleaning is a big job. At least it's exercise.
