Hey!!

Bunnie... I am happy to report that I am down from 262 to 245 as of today. I had a 5 day full liquid pre op that I lost the first 8.5 on and another 8.5 since surgery last Tuesday.

 

I am wondering if I should be doing more? I've pretty much just done a little walking, a lot of napping and some reading/tv. My family is taking care of everything and telling me to just rest. I am slightly sore but thinking if I got out I might have a little more energy? Any thoughts?

I love that your family is taking care of everything and telling you to rest, great support system! I wish I could give advice but I am not having surgery until July because of my work schedule 20 lbs is awesome!

So proud of you ladies!

Yesterday I had a work event and went out to lunch with coworkers. I was nervous, but I ordered the Soup. I have to say I did get full pretty fast and the weirdest thing for me was not being able to drink after eating since it's soemthing I used to do ALL the time. We also had a cocktail party to attend last night. I had a couple of the appetizer bites (the ones that were soft) and I was SO full. I didnt feel stuck, but I definitely had that full feeling...almost too full, which I know isnt good to have on day 7. Anyway, I can tell the plication must be working. It was very interesting to see myself in an environment like that where there was so much food and drink and I really had to think about what I was doing -- no mindless eating crabcakes and mini burgers LOL.
