I can't remember if I mentioned it here or not, but I'm off of my blood pressure medication! Super happy as that was one of my goals. I am down to 246lbs as of today as well, so 19lbs lost since surgery on the 8th. I hit my 4 week mark and am now getting to reintroduce some soft foods, which I am loving. I can say that I now understand people mentioning certain things, such as chicken, sitting in the stomach like a rock. lunch today was 4 pieces of deli turkey and two slices of cheese, and dinner was a tiny bit of shredded rotisserie chicken, with a little bit of feta cheese and some buffalo hot sauce. Most my Protein for the day is still coming from liquids though. I am finding it hard to get enough protein from food alone, mostly because I don't feel like I can eat frequently yet. It takes quite a long time after eating for the "full" feeling to go away. So between that and drinking Water constantly, I just don't feel like I have the time to eat more actual food.

Holy crap!!!! I am afraid I'm gonna be fined for excessive use of exclamations!!!!!!!! You look ahhhh-may-zing!!!!! WTG girl and huge congrats on your success.
Smokin' hot mama. BTW, note to yourself: channel Elle EVERYDAY. All. The. Days! IT worx!

(I'll post mine today--have a business meeting out of my guest bedroom office that actually demands I dress professionally which does not include my 4x flannel pjs. )

I am so deeply sorry. May your journey navigating this devastating loss be supported and held by others and guided by whatever faith or conviction you are connected to.
