It's day number 21 for me. I feel grrrrreeeeaaattt. After surgery they schedule a two week check-up. Mine was August 9, 2006. From the date of surgery to my check-up, I lost 17 pounds. So they gave me my cap and gown and patted me on my back.:cheer2: I have graduated to soft foods, ya'll. Let's just say I have been waiting for this day. So that weekend I made a potato soup with carrots and celery. Yummy, right? Yes, indeed. But, some how I managed to put on 3 pounds. I ate the soup from Sunday until Wednesday and saw that I gained. :eek: What gives? My answer to that question came the next morning. Ladies, I know you understand me. So next week I might weigh myself. (crossing fingers) I feel the new me coming out. There are so many things on my list to do. I can't use my weight as a reason not to do. Just to name a few: Sky diving, Bungee Jumping, Learning how to Sail, Learn how to Drive a Race Car, Dirt Bike, Motorcycle, Hang out with my girl-friends more than once of month. I'm sure they'll like that. Oh, yeah one more thing..... Six Flags here I come. It's off the beauty shop and then the gym.
