I'm so excited to start posting here, not that I will ever look like aarval Jesus that guy looks amazing but, my own amazing is comming

Congratulations!

Well, I'm 10 days post-op and feeling really good. In fact, other than the "crazy glue" on my incisions, I do not feel like I had surgery!
I am sensitive to cold beverages so they have to be room temp or hot. I have no problem with that. I cannot do pureed foods. Out of the question. Just the smell of any foods pureed makes me dry heave.
I am existing on grits, oatmeal, refried Beans, yogurt, liver sausage, eggs (and whatever else the surgeon's office gave me in lieu of actual pureed food).
I feel so good, I'm ready to go back to work now. Watching tv all day is driving me nuts! Cant resume bowling for a few more weeks and the season starts in August but I've decided to wait until the beginning of September to start my 4 leagues and I've told all the people who need to know that.
I'm trying to avoid watching my family eat. I cannot cook for them. I nibble. So I told them right now, its about me and I have to avoid foods that will block me from losing weight so for the foreseable future, I will NOT be cooking for them. Hubby will either be forced to cook for himself and the kids or they will be "take out food junkies" for awhile.
Whatever, I dont care. Getting them fed is what brought me to this drastic stage (bypass) in the first place! My son is going back to college in a few weeks and I'm glad because he's Mr. pizza and that is one of my weaknesses. Daughter will be in her 4th year of nursing school and will be very busy so I won't see her much and have to watch her eat.
I just have to get through these next few weeks and then I think I'll have it made with the "food temptations".

So today is 6 days post op and I have done really well with head hunger. Well today my husband made lunch for our son and himself. He made one of my favorites, pepperoni and motz sandwiched on a soft deli bun. UGH! they looked soo good. my mouth was watering. I was really hoping I would be someone who didn't get head hunger. :/ oh well. On the plus side I am down to 300 lbs! That is 28 lbs in 6 days! I am shocked I didn't expect it to come off so fast.

I went to my husbands squadron picnic yesterday and thought I was going to die from all the cupcakes staring back at me. It is all in my head I know but damn I just wanted one little bite. I made it through the day by repeating the number 30 in my head over and over again. 30 is the number of pounds I am down 19 days post-op.

My surgery date is August 7th. I've just completed Optifast week 1 and I'm down 10.2 lbs!

God is so good to me! I have almost not pain other than the left side, my mouth is a little though. I don't feel hungry, which I'm very glad about. They have me walking every to hours which, has been easy to do. Tomorrow i get gave some clear drinks and also some Jello. I'm ready to start seeing the pounds drop off!
