What a difference 2 weeks makes!!!

Jul 29, 2012

I made a promise to myself that I would blog throughout this experience, and that is what I intend to do. It was very hard in the beginning because I felt so terrible. However, tomorrow makes 2 weeks and although I don't feel great, I feel so much better than I did. I am still not getting in the required liquid or protein (not even close), but I hold out hope that with work I will be able to. Emotionally I am getting stronger also. I down 36 pounds since starting July 6th which is the date I started my pre-op diet. July 16th was my surgery. I am not exactly sure what my actual surgery weight was because the scales at home and the scales at the hospital were different, so I am just going with my weight on the date of my 10 day per-op diet which was 350 and now I am 314. Wow, I can't believe it. My feet used to be swollen all of the time and now, my shoes are too big. What a great feeling.

I have set a goal weight of 150 lbs! And for the first time in my life I believe I can get there.
