OK, lost 4 lbs and that is moving from liquid to semi solid diet. Ever have that feeling when you are waking up that you are smaller, somehow? I felt that way when I got up today. I think my swelling is down somewhat and I'm passing liquids better.

Kind of getting into the rhythm with eating and my blood pressure meds. I literally chew my two little pills, swallow a tiny bit of water to get them down, and then go work out for 45 mins on the elliptical. Then I drink water or whatever. Seems to make a big difference in the water pill doing its job. Doctor told me to try different ways of taking the pills, but there were no absorption studies one way or the other.

Second trainer appointment this morning and then home to figure out some recipes for the week and get a shopping list together.

I read on someone's post that they are more focused on the whole food/eating/cooking thing than before the surgery. Amen to that! It is a big focus of my day.

I'll spend a lot of time on the weekends getting organized for the week. Being away from home 10-12 hours a day will mean I will have to be well-prepared at work.

I'm very thankful for this forum, responses to blogs and posts, and for all the support. This is just too new, too big, too consuming not to have this great support!
