how much salad can you eat? I have not tried salad yet, but want to... I am waiting to speak to the nutritionist on the 10th to see if I can venture out there in the raw fruit and veggie world.

Hey Laura,
I am exactly at 3 months today. My surgery was on July 3rd and I am down 62 pounds. I am having a hard time with any meats. I do protein drinks to make sure I'm getting in enough protein. I had my lab work done last Thursday and everything was good except my iron. It was low, so they told me to get a prenatal vitamin with iron and add that to my already heavy intake of vitamins. I am hoping that things will be better when I go back. I did get some spinach since I know that's high in iron. Since I can't do meats, I know liver is out of the question.
All in all I am doing well. I feel good, I am starting to look good and I don't regret having this surgery...not even when I'm puking my guts up because I've tried meats again or ate too fast or drank too soon after eating. It's the best decision I could possibly make for me. Do I miss all the old foods? YES but I remind myself daily that it was those eating habits that got me to the weight I was before surgery. I am much happier now than ever. I can actually make it through a shopping trip at Wal-Mart without feeling as though I'm going to die. It feels good to be active again.
I wish you much success as I do for all us July babies. What a way to ring in the 4th next year when we all will be at least a 100 lbs lighter than we were this year. Can't wait to get to goal and see the amazing results.
Lots of Love
Kathy
