Today I went to the doctor to get my weight checked and my drain pulled, weirdest feeling EVER! Hope I never have to experience that again. Since my pre-surgery diet I am down 20 lbs. Wooohoo! I plan to start walking now that I am off my pain meds so the lbs should start dropping.

It is the weirdest feeling ever! Kind of feels like a snake is being pulled out of you! Mine was so long the nurse pulled on it and stopped because she didn't believe how long it was. I had to tell her just keep going I want to get this over with! Your weight loss is great!! Just think about how your life is going to turn around........That will put a smile on your face!

I know I am super excited about the weight loss. Today was my first day in stage 3......I had crockpot chicken chopped and mashed carrots.......IT WAS AMAZING! I am so ready for this change.

Once you get to have food again it is amazing! You will find some of your foods will taste different for awhile and some longer. I found some flavors to be more intense and some just totally different. Just remember to chew your food really good and eat slow. Otherwise you will fill up in record time! Best of luck to you!
