I've lost 102lbs so far. I can't believe I was that other person.

179. Tough week for me. I am going to kick it into gear and have declared the month of August as a NO EATING TRIGGER FOODS period, which means zero candy, Cookies, cakes, ice cream, white breads or crackers, pretzels, or chips. Basically if it has added sugar or is processed, I'm not going eat it. August 31 will be my 40th birthday and I will be so happy if I can be at 175 by then, which would officially be not obese according to the BMI charts!

I just couldn't stop myself from calling my insurance to see how the process was going for my paperwork that was sent in earlier in the week, and I'm approved! Of course I call my surgeons office to let them know and my case coordinator is on vaca until Monday. I really really needed that good news!

You should be getting in Protein everyday. You won't start getting it from actual "food" sources until week 4
Week 1 was Clear Liquids so I got protein from Isopure Protein Drink
Week 2 was full liquids so I got protein from Protein Shakes and Greek yogurt
Weeks 3 was purées so I got protein from protein shakes and mixed in unflavored Protein Powder into thinks like mashed potatoes.
Week 4 was soft foods so I got protein from things like eggs and soft chicken in addition to the sources noted above.
Week 5 I started regular foods so I got protein from meat and protein smoothies here and there. Protein oatmeal balls, Greek yogurt, protein oatmeal. Gotta get creative!

Surgery was 3/25 a I've lost 84 since surgery and 97 from my highest.

My doctor never set a goal for me. The only appt where goal weight was discussed I was asked what I wanted to weigh. I chose 150 and plan to work towards that!
