Checking in...

21 pounds down!!  How unreal...I am more shocked at how much better I feel than the actual number!  I can breathe better, and I really makes me wonder how I will feel another twenty thirty pounds down the road.  I am having to sleep on my back because of pressure on surgery site, and I am a stomach sleeper....so you can believe I should be snoring like a bear.  Not one night have I snored.  Louie was shocked. Sometimes we dont even realize the strain we are putting on our bodies, till it comes off and we feel it.  I walked last night for the first time..,.just a little...about half a mile...and felt great.  No pains anywhere after, so I know I can keep going, and increase it more and more.  I head to Victoria tomorrow for a check up, and am hoping he gives me a thumbs up, because I have been doing eveythng I am supposed to.
Thusrday I begin the soft foods phase.  I am interested to see what my new stomach will be able to tolerate, so will be very carefully adding a few things to my meal.

Everyday has been great for me...from stepping on the scale and seeing half a pound to two pounds come off...to feeling so much better and active already!!!  This is the best decision I could have ever made!!!!
