Thanks everyone for the well wishes! I am happy to report that I am 3 weeks post op today and down 14 lbs., 190 baby!!!!! Very exciting for me especially that everyone that has seen me since surgery can really tell I've lost some weight! Woo hoo! I've still been feeling great, except for the vitamins and my tummy are having a hard time adjusting to each other. I hear that this too shall pass. I had my first meal out yesterday with a friend. We went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast and I ordered the same omeIet that I usually do, but of course, ate at the most 1/4 of it. No biggie, I just had some for breakfast this a.m. So down with one of my biggest fears, eating out! It was pleasant to sit there and make the meal about conversation instead of about the food. She even commented to me that I was a big inspiration to her and she ended up only eating half of her meal! That typically would not have happened to either one of us. So all in all it was good, just a little time consuming. Now just trying to work on an eating, taking vitamins, drinking liquids, getting in enough protein, eating the right things (whew!) schedule! It's going to take some time I know, but I'm headed in the right direction! Bye all.
