Just before surgery I started posting notes on FB about my WLS... here is the most recent:

I haven't updated in a while... I went back to see my surgeon on the 12th of September. Everything is right on track. As of that day I had lost 58.9 pounds, and to date I've lost 60 pounds!!! This past Thursday, the 15th, was my 2 month surgiversary.. so 60 pounds is a lot. I was released to start working out. But, was told to take babysteps. I have been on log walks, climbing outrageous hills everyday this week. I'm still counting my protien, and probably will for a long time. I can eat pretty much whatever I want, no restrictions. However, having WLS involves changing a LOT of things about your eating habits. It is automatic for me to read labels now. Carbs are bad.. especially from bread and potatos and anything starchy. I do enjoy fruit, especially grapes and watermelon...mmmmmmm.. I eat a ton of cheese, and chicken. Thank goodness I love it. I don't require Protein shakes anymore unless I don't get my 60 grams in a day. Which I'm very thankful for because I've gotten to the point where I can't stand them, and the thought of them make me sick to my stomach. I've still not ever thrown up, or had any nausea. Things are truly going great and I am looking forward to watching this life long weight continue to fall off of me. I am continually thankful from the support I have received from my family, friends, and co-workers. This has been one of the most fullfilling experiences in my life!!!! I just hope that more people that feel the need to do this make sure they get all the information they need. There was, and still is, so much to learn about WLS and what you have to do to live healthy and happy.

Thanks for the update...keep up the good work.

Congrats on your weight loss! You sound like you are really on top of things. I am wondering if you could give me an example of a day with protein? I can't seem to make my protein goal and really hate the shakes too. I too am 2 months out. Thanks!
