August Updates, come join in!
Feeling great!
Favorite food - I like em all, same problem as before surgery- taste has not changed- however, SF popsicles from Kroger have really been a blessing when i wanted something but didn't know what.......also chicken noodle soup was a lifesaver when nothing sounded good in the beginning. Now I really like scrambled eggs with green pepper and cheese! Laughing cow cheese, liver and onions if you chew it really well. I could go on and on.......
I've lost 44 pounds since July 11 (I did a one month liver shrink diet)
I had laproscopic RNY
Having trouble with water making me feel bad, nauseous.......really have to sip, sip, sip, because I can't do ANY gulping to try and get in my water all at once.

What else? The first week I was thinking that I made a mistake about the surgery, then I started to feel better. By the 3rd week I was experiencing a lot of discomfort and was having regrets again. Now I am glad I did it. My B. pressure is much improved, I am sleeping better (less snoring) and the joint pain is better. Looking forward to completing this part of the journey and meeting my goal weight by this time next year.
