20 days out-25.4 lbs gone!!!

Its been really rough trying to re learn to eat again.  It makes me think I always gave my children bites that were too big!!!  Thank you for Chike Protein and GNC Amplified Whey Protein....complete lifesavers!

7 days out....feeling good!!

Last Wednesday, the 24th I had my surgery.  It went well, no complications to speak of other than it was on the brink of a hurricane. The only incident I had was my blood pressure went up and was being really stubborn about returning to normal.  I came home Friday and as of yesterday have progressed to soft/moist foods.  I seem to be tolerating things well, so far.  My weight loss is right around 20.2 pounds thus far.  I have been wearing my pedometer and have actually managed to get in about 5,700 steps a day.  One day at a time, one bite at a time, one step at a time.

14 hours to go

So ready for this.  Got great support from family and friends through the first part of this  journey.  Something strange happened today that came at an odd time.  We had an earthquake, 5.8.  I was sitting in the nail salon with my boyfriends sister doing my nails and the ground under my feet rippled.  Very strange.  Anyway, I am ready for tomorrow.
