I'm feeling ok, but having serious bloating problems...I think I should not have had chicken tacos for dinner the night before surgery! I have been walking up and down my hallway several times per day, and today started some protein shakes and just had 4 oz of cream of chicken soup made with super milk and a little chicken soup protein...I also had some jello today...I'm showing 4 pounds down, but who really knows this soon?? I am hoping to lose 80 pounds. I'm 5'6" and 242 pounds at surgery. I'm a fairly athletic, muscular girl, and have never in my life weighed less that about 180 (well since I was a small child, anyway) so I don't really know what will work best for me. Thinking that 160 sounds good - the biggest reason I had this surgery is because I'm getting older, and it's getting hard to make my body work hard; my joints hurt. I'm hoping with some significant loss, I will be able to get back to working hard without hurting so much...how about you?
