I'm going to Schlitterbahn Wednesday and I'm wearing a size 14 swim suit lol that was way too small last year. Not sure why I even had it, I maybe accidentally picked it up at a garage sale or something. Lucky me now though I have wore a 14 in maybe 12+ years!

Day 1 of Couch to 5K is a success! So so happy, I quit running a few years ago because of a leg problem that got progressively worse, but didn't have a spec of trouble

Headed to the lake for camping, then tomorrow on the river for rafting. I ♥ going to the river, just wish we had more time...going to try really hard to find time to go to Eminence again this year, but we'll see.

At Jacob's drug challenge (Zithromax/Arethromyacin), I'm sure it'll go fine
Next week is his peanut challenge! -
I'm not afraid of stall I don't think....I'm expecting them & soon too. I'm afraid of something more permanent. I guess, like a lot of us, I'm just afraid that this won't work for me & be just another failure in a long line of failures. No reason for it though. I'm doing great right now, it's just a worry at the back of my mind.

Mommyinneed, no I didn't have an infection. I was just being a worry wart. 2 weeks out now, just started on mushies & doing great. I had my doc look at it and she said it looked normal and I said are you sure? Lol, I'm the type who needs something to worry about. I was somewhat dehydrated (from my trip home) which led to an electrolyte imbalance & low heart rate, but that was easily fixed with Gatorade & 100 oz of Fluid for 4 days straight. Now I'm just worried that one day this wonderful, wonderful weight loss will end & reverse itself like it has so many times before. It just seems too good to be true....but like I said I need something to worry about Hope you are all better, or getting there! That doesn't sound like it was fun at all.

I've been thinking that as well. If every doc has a different plan, that tells me that no one really knows what is best, so why listen to one over another? I haven't started mushies yet, tomorrow was supposed to be my day but I'm thinking of trying some soft string cheese today, or maybe roast beef hash (been following The World According to Eggface's blog), we'll see. Everything so far has went down fine, but I've mainly been having Protein shakes, yogurt & milk. Seems to be the easiest way for me to get in my protein - I'm trying for a minimum of 50 grams a day. -

I guess I should say 4 weeks instead of 2 since that included pre-op dieting as well -

Doing great! Down from 221.5 to 197.5, 24 lb! Went from size 18/20 to a 16. All in 2 weeks today. It's amazing, I keep waiting to wake up from the dream & gain all my weight back lol but I guess that's never going to happen! And you? I know you've already lost 30+, maybe more by now. How's your food going? -
I am now at the weight I was before getting pregnant with Nick. Haven't been here in 8 years! It was so close yet so far....

Hard, long first day back to work today. So tired when I got home I got out of the shower and just passed out on the bed for about an hour, it felt so good

Getting adventurous with tonight's protein shake. I'm going to add some PB2 (powdered peanut butter with 85% of the fat & calories removed, yet still high in protein) to my regular chocolate protein shake. Should be interesting

I have a pound container of Syntrax nectar. Any suggestions of the best way to eat it? I tried it in broth (pre-op) and it got kinda foamy, but it was tolerable. I tried it in some diet juice but it seemed to make the juice really sweet & I couldn't finish drinking it. Any suggestions?

Man I'm so behind on planning & I'm usually the planning queen lol. Haven't planned anything for camping next week and haven't planned nicks birthday party at all yet. I better get on the ball!

I was sleeved on May 15 & so far I lost about 12 lb pre-op & 2 post-op so 14 total. I got a little dehydrated while out of town & retained a lot of Water that I'm just now getting rid of. The dehydration (we think) caused a low heart beat - mine was rangin from 40-50 whereas normal is 60-100 (I'm normally in the 70's) and that was slightly scary, but I'm back up in the normal range now. I also think that one of my incisions is slightly infected, maybe a small absess underneath, but I'm seeing a doctor for that tomorrow & we'll see. Otherwise, I'm feeling great. I didn't realize how swollen up my legs were. They were skinny before, but now they are loose & even skinnier. My wrists are smaller and my face looks thinner My tummy is still swollen though.
