Back on track

Thanks to everyone who gave me encouragement in my last post. I am back on track. No deviating from the diet and I am hitting my water quotas!!! Tomorrow I go to see the dr. so hopefully he will up my diet to soft mechanical. I am really struggling withthe protein shakes, but I managed two yesterday. Today I am going to try adding the powder to SF hot cocoa. Talk to everyone later. I can't wait to have an update about my weight loss. Have I lost any yet? We'll see....

way to go TJ!!! I'm so glad to read this post from you!! I'll keep my eye open tomorrow to read your weight loss!! GOOD LUCK!! Megan

Ok, update from the Surgeon: I am doing just fine!!!! I told him about my slip ups and he was more interested to hear that my pouch tolerated these foods. I told him about my issues with the protein shakes and they gave me some unjury unflavored whey protein to try. I will let you all know how that goes. I have been upgraded to pureed foods and can go to regular foods next friday. Now for the nitty gritty: How much have I lost? Well, I bought a scale two days ago and when I weighed myself in the morning yesterday, I was...280.5 lbs! NOw I was undressed at that time and when they weighed me in the dr.'s office, I weighed 282.6 lbs. I am convinced this was the weight of the clothers, I had on some pretty weighty trousers, lol. So lets see, if people are using tthe three figures model to be highest weight/current weight/ goal weight, mine would be 302/280.5/157. My weight loss since surgey has been 6.5 lbs, unless you add in the loss of fluid retention weight post-surgery. That would be 19 lbs.
