Earlier this month (September 7th to be exact) I participated in my first 5k. Although I didn't run or jog, walking a 5k was a huge accomplishment for me. A year ago I would have never thought about participating in a 5k. Next month I'm doing two 5k's. I love my sleeve and the opportunities it has given me. I wish I would have made the decision to have surgery much sooner.

Today was my first post-op appointment. I had my staples removed and I discussed with the nutritionist and the nurse what I have been doing since surgery (i.e. fluids, exercise, protein, vitamins). The staple removal didn't hurt at all and I wasn't expecting it to because I've had staples removed before. So far I'm averaging about 55 ounces of fluid and 70 grams of protein a day. The nutritionist told me to work on increasing my fluid intake and that my protein is good. Tomorrow I can start on puree/soft foods. I can eat cottage cheese, non-fat refried beans, tuna, etc. If anyone has any ideas/tips about the food during this stage please let me know.
Height: 5'6"
Starting weight: 296
Surgery weight: 281
Current weight: 270 (13 days after surgery)
Goal weight: 200 (maybe 180)
