Two-Week Post-Op visit!
So this morning was my two-week check-up and things went great! I am down another 11 pounds this week 
which leaves me down a total of 40 pounds 
since I started the pre-op weight (4weeks)! I feel absolutely wonderful, well except for the cold I have 
. Besides being sick I am really feeling better than I have in years! I am starting to really see a difference in the mirror and in my clothes, which is becoming a great motivator for me 
. I am doing great with food, I have been eating fish, cheese, eggs, and re-fried beans which have all gone down well. I get to start on Chicken as of today so I am totally stoked about that! 
I also got the staples out of my incisions today, which feels awesome! They were really becoming a nuisance! Over all I am completely satisfied with my progress and am SO excited for my husband to see me in September (he is in Iraq), I am going to be a whole new person! 
And I am totally with you guys who said you can't wait to see your own before and after photos! We will all be there soon!! Thank you all again for the support and encouragement, you have all been invaluable to my success!!
Doesn't the loser's bench feel GREAT?

OMGosh!! Congrats girl!! I am so happy for you and it just motivates, and encourages me....I am glad you are feeling better, and that you are healing so well...Also your doing so well on the food intake!! Oh yeah i know how excited you are about your husband coming home, my husband is in iraq too, he just left, and he is taking his r&r in july and I am having my surgery in april, so i should look like some pounds have melted away when he gets back.....I cant wait!! Well congrats again, and i will talk to you soon.
CONGRATS! IT'S THE START OF AN AMAZING JOURNEY!!!

It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve.
It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.
