9 weeks out

I went for my weigh in and B12 shot this afternoon. I am at 214. I have lost 38 lbs since my surgery date. I think I did the math right. Sloane also gave me the go ahead to eat salad. So I am crunchy and chewy slowly for the first time in 9 weeks. Mmm it tastes good. Aime

Aime - That's great!!!! YAY FOR YOU!!!! OMG - once I got the go ahead, salad tasted like nirvana to me!!!!! Even now, salad goes down easier than a lot of foods - I guess it's the high water content. Just make sure when you're eating salad, that it's loaded with protein so you can pick most of that out first!!! PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN!!!! Good job, Tia

Aime, I am so proud of you!! You are doing great. best wishes and enjoy eating salads. hugs, Cira

Congratulations on a job well done, I had my surgery on 10/13/06 and was ok'd to eat salads not to long ago, it was a nice transition. I have lost 39 lbs since surgery and had to lose 20 before I could have the surgery so I am down 59 lbs. What a great journey we are on, you are doing great. I'm having a horrible time getting in enough protein it this is not an issue for you please tell me your secret. Best of luck with your future and enjoy those salads. Margie

Thank you for the support. I am drinking at least one protein shake a day. I will also eat a protein bar as a snack. I am eating chicken quite a bit. I don't really count my grams of protein. I just make sure that when I eat I have something with protein first. I wish you luck. Aime

Aime, Congrats to you!!! What an awesome Christmas present you have given yourself!!!! Keep up the good work ~Heather
