I went for my weigh in today and...
I was happy to find that I lost 29 pounds in 3 weeks. From the first day my surgeon officially weighed me I am down 50 pounds. I can't believe how good I am doing. I am only 14 pounds away from my first major goal. And I am now only 63 pounds away from my second major goal. I couldn't be happier with my progress so far. I was also informed that I can start pureed foods and he said when I feel like I have done it all and feel confident about trying solid foods to go ahead with it. I think I will do the pureed for 3 weeks just to make sure I give my tummy the best chance of healing fully. I have a lot more variety now so I won't get as bored with this as I did with the liquids.
Thanks everyone for the support. It feels great to have so many people rooting for me.

Shannon that is great, 29 pounds is a big loss.
I have my surgery in a little over 9 hours and I hope I do as well as you.
You are an inspiration.
I am getting more and more excited with each hour.
Just reading how well you are doing puts my mind at ease and gives me hope. Keep up the good work. Are you getting your protiens in? If so what shakes do you like?

Congrats on your weight loss! I am down 42 lbs and feeling pretty good. I have been on pureed foods for a week and find that tuna (really wet) and egg salad on crackers go down pretty good. My son has noticed that my bat wings are not as big as they used to be. He has a habit of pointing that out to everyone.. 
Keep up the good work!

Holy cow, doreen.......42 lbs??? I am so very jealous!! Mine was the same date as yours, and I am BARELY down 25.....really 24.5, lol!! I feel like with as few calories as I am eating that I should have dropped a MILLION lbs!!
My biggest question when I go back to the surgeon on the 30th will be about my blood pressure meds...........I think I need to cut them way back...feeling real draggy, took it just now, 88/56! That is crazy....... Even on meds mine usually ran about 140/85. This low makes me feel like I will faint...hate the feeling.
Keep up the great losing!! I am thrilled for all of you!!
