thank you sooo much I am only on my 4th week and I just want different flavors on my palate...

January 25th was my surgery... i wanted to wait till my first post op appointment with my doctor to find out my weight loss. So It's been 2 weeks and I'm happy to say I lost 34 pounds!!!! YES!!! I started at 341 lbs and now I'm 307 lbs. Right now I'm following the diet to the T. I regret not preparing myself before surgery because right now it's all mental for me. The diet itself isn't hard but I wish there were more things I could taste (don't we all). I'm on stage 3. Today I finally tried eggs it went okay. Day by day I'll get use to it. For quite some time I've been smoking, drinking, and EATING my life to death... to be honest I had drinks 2 weeks before my surgery. I quit smoking for 2 weeks to take my labs and smoked 2 days before. I didn't realize how foolish and selfish I was until I laid there awaiting surgery. My life flashed before me and I couldn't believe all that I've missed. It's hasn't been long but I know I'm not going back. Well, that's my start.

Thanks Helen on venting I loved reading every moment of it... 1 night 4 pounds? oh man something I don't look forward to... but hey I'm taking in everything. Jhope I don't remember when the hell my family ever wanted to eat my food. Thanks ladies for the read. I'll be looking out to see your journey...
