Kimberlina 18 Posted August 30, 2011 2 weeks! It has been 2 weeks since surgery! I am back in school and back to work and am doing great. The hives are clearing up and I have lost.......................... OVER 40 POUNDS SINCE BEGINNING THE PRE OP DIET!!!! It's so hard to believe that the time has gone by this fast. I had waited for so long for the surgery and now I can say I am officially on the "other side". I don't have any full body pictures ready to post yet, but I do have a couple of upper body/face shots. It's amazing the difference there is in my face already. I'm so happy. I am begininng to want to go out and about again. I don't feel ashamed to leave the house and go places. When someone looks at me on the street, my first thought isn't "Yah, I know I'm fat.... Quit looking at me!!" but now it is "Hmmm... are they flirting with me?" haha, such a change! I know I still have a long way to go but I am suddenly so excited for all that is to come. Today I get to start REAL FOOD! I was so tired of the liquid diet and I am ecstatic to move on to cottage cheese, cream Soup, oatmeal, mashed potatoes........... Oh man am I a happy girl! Lastly, I am wondering if it is normal to not even be able to fit in 1/4 cup of food (cottage cheese) within 45 minutes. I thought it would be a little easier than it was, so I am just wondering if anyone else really struggled with getting in enough food (despite feeling hungry)?
