Went to my Dr today, mostly because I went off of medication before surgery and needed to get back on something now that I am eating again (couldn't handle it with just liquid diet also it was making my B/P go up). I went last Dec 7th (5 weeks before surgery and 7 weeks ago today.) I am taking the last time I was there as my official before surgery wieght (even though the I'm sure the 5 weeks inbetween then and surgery I gained at least a couple pounds~ with all the last supper meals I got in) I wieghed 267 then I am now 257. Not bad for no pre op diet and really only one week of no eating. Another great accomplishment is my blood pressure was running high 180's/high 90's. Today it was 124/89! yahoo, the bottom number is still high but I think sometimes that has to do with being in a Dr's office b/c at home when I take it is closer to low 80's. I know that I have had MOSTLY liquids and also for the past week oatmeal and yogurt for almost 2 meals each day but I am hoping that I can keep it where it is or lower.

I feel good today, physically and emotionally. I usually HATE going to the Dr's, ecspecially the scale but for the first time in a year seeing improvments gave me a boost.

Last night was my first night back at work and it went O.K~ (long as always, but O.K). I had my Cream of Tomato soup with a little bit of l/f shredded mexican cheese on top really just a sprinkle, but I was satisfied all night, I usually make it about half way and then run to the vending machine for some comfort grazing but last night I didn't even think about it. My goal for the rest of the week is to get some good music on my MP3 and walk the garage on my lunch. I really need to work on getting some steps in, by the end of the day I am so tierd with being with the kids all day, house stuff, Logan's homework, dinner ready just in time to get out the door for a full shift at night.

Off to put the girl to sleep and maybe if I'm lucky a 30min nap :bathbaby:
