Today is my birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARY!!!!!!!!!!! My birthday was April 1st I turned 41. I had my surgery on 2-23 and I am just now starting solid food. I have lost 43 pounds as of 2 weeks ago i haven't weighed myself since. I go to my surgeon on Tuesday for my 8 week follow up. I am anxious to start swiming because i can't walk to much i have very bad knees. I feel like the inches are really coming off faster than the weight. I have some trouble with the pain from not chewing enough like i have to burp and i can't talk. I am getting better at it though. Had to stop the protien drinks because of nausa. I have tried different brands but no luck yet. I have cottage cheese, cheese, youghurt and chicken, Turkey Burger for protien so far. Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!! Jill

Jill, Happy Belated Birthday to you also. Sounds like you are doing very well. I'm 8 weeks out this week and finally got the OK to use my bike and the pool. Can't wait to get in the pool. I have arthritis in hips and knees, so the water is such a benefit to me. Mary
