Hi Ladies - the horn honking are the people in line waiting to cross the border. I was in room 303 at Mi hospital the last couple days and it was crazy.
Hi to everyone, including you stalkers!
I am three weeks out from surgery (Feb. 21st with Dr. Garcia in TJ through Ready4AChange) and I am feeling great! This week was very exciting as I added mushified deli turkey slices and "real" Soups to my diet. I've got one of those blender "wands" and it has been perfect for blending Protein powder into Soup.
My "go to" items right now are chocolate Protein Powder in (slighly cooled) Decaf coffee each morning and unflavored Protein Powder mixed into an 80 calorie dannon light greek yogurt at lunch. By afternoon, I've already had almost 60 grams of Protein. The Water intake is a struggle...my water bottle (with crystal light) is my constant companion. I also treat myself to a daily bottle of Vitamin Water zero. This surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself... I'm 66 years old...wish I had done it decades ago!
I donated a bunch of my "fatest" clothes yesterday... I have about 5 sizes worth of boxed clothes from prior weight losses! It is such an amazing, freeing feeling to know that I will never go back to this size/weight.
My recovery has gone better and faster than I ever could have imagined! Thank you so much, Dr. Garcia and your team!
