Queenie-Shelle how are you feeling your day is getting closer and closer =) i feel great recovery has been pretty good for me i have started the gym on monday i did feel really tired and hurting all over but it is to be expected as the body is still recovering i have started adding more foods back into my diet like turkey ham, chicken sausages, eggs, cream of wheat, cheese, oatmeal, i can finally drink my protein shake not all but atleast 6 oz of it, i tried mashed potatoes but don't want to get too attached to it bcuz of carbs, and i made turkey meatballs which my family loves but i was actually able to eat 1 1/2 myself, boneless grilled chicken, homemade chicken soup my momma made me =) i have tolerated pretty much everything well being 4 weeks out it's gotten better i even had chilli's from Wendy's a bit spicy for my but ok. I posted a pic on sunday night of my before and now even though i'm only 4 weeks out i am loving my results already i'm not sure if you got 2 see them i hope everyone is doing great i haven't seen any update from shellbelle after the surgery i'm praying everything is well ♥♥♥ oh i have a new drink i am in love with now the

O.N.E. Coconut Water it has only 45 calories and 8g sugars i just can't tolerate water like before maybe when i am further out i'll go back to being normal with just plain water which i looooooved b4 surgery but idk even putting crystal light in my water just isn't working either i find it too sweet now, we'll see what happens lol

I have my date it's coming shortly and my journey is about to begin. Dec. 11 is my date I'm just waiting for my aporoval from insurance company. I hope and pray that I get approved.
