I am 0.2 BMI points away from no longer being "morbidly obese"; soon I will just be "obese." Yay?

Just for kicks tonight, I tried on a bikini I bought 7 1/2 years ago for a trip to Brazil. It fits comfortably and looks great! I still have a way to go before I reach my goal, but this made me hopeful.

I stopped buying Premier because someone in my support group told me it's been reformulated (at least the chocolate flavor has) and now contains whey concentrate instead of whey isolate. Not sure if this is true in Canada as well, but check the label.

I had my sleeve 5/14, almost a week ago! No nausea at all, and no dumping except for one time I drank my protein shake too fast and it went right through me. The pain is minor -- I feel a little tenderness when I sit up in bed. I guess the big thing is that I'm low on energy. I can walk easily, but I'm not quite up to going back to my regular household tasks. Water should help, but it's harrrrd to drink all that water; there don't seem to be enough hours in the day to get in the water and the protein and everything else. I estimate I'm down about 10 pounds now, although it's hard to tell because my digital scale at home is off by a few pounds. When I get back to the gym I'll use the analog scale in the changing room instead.
