I had my two week post-op visit today and made my NP VERY happy! After not losing anything at my visit last week, I managed a loss of eight pounds this week! I thought she was going to start doing a happy dance around the room! And while I was extremely happy, there was no happy dance for me. I had just had 20 surgical staples removed and moving that much kinda hurts right now. But I am doing happy dance moves in my head! and cartwheels! and etc!

I also had my food plan advanced to the next stage. I still have to drink 2-3 4oz "Protein supplements" (4ozs of protein shake) and I still can have my eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese, and shredded low fat cheese, I now get to add MEAT!!! chicken, fish, turkey and soy products! I made a tiny bit of tuna salad when I got home (it was yummy!) and for Christmas tomorrow, I'm making some little turkey meatballs! I can hardly wait!

I hope all of you are having a very Blessed and Merry Christmas!

And one of the really big events today (HOW could I have forgotten in the first post?!) I'm now under 200 pounds!!!

You are doing a wonderful job. And so happy already, wait for the next few months! Everything will change for you. Get ready to have to buy a smaller size, or more. Best of holidays to you as well. Great progress.

Way to go! You are doing fabulous. Getting good news like this is so motivating, at least for me it is.

The next phase will be even more exciting for. Congratulations and Happy Holidays!
