One week out feeling great!

Hi everyone. I am happy to say my surgery is now one week behind me today and I am down 10 pounds and doing great! This is by far the best thing I have ever done for me. No pain, no gas and believe it or not I am walking two miles a day...slow but walking. Dr, Dayhim at EMMC was my surgeon and I love her!

I am happy and the best part is I have one more week of Liquid diet and then I get to taste normal foods according to Phase 4.

As soon as I can figure out how to post pictures I will.

Welcome to the loser's bench! Glad your surgery went well.

I am meeting her TOMORROW!!! SOOO excited! 

Congrats! How is Phase four going? 

Phase 4 is a breeze! I am down a total of 53 pounds since October 2. Tomorrow will be one month since my surgery and I have a lost 23 pounds since I got home from surgery. Woohooo!!

I am exercising and feeling great. I have not had one problem at all since day one. I love Phase 4 because I at least get to chew my food. It is very important to chew and to take small bites. I found that when I get full I hiccup and that is my sign to stop eating. Take the thirty minutes to eat your meals and do not drink 30 minutes before, during or after your meals.

I made a mistake and took a sip of water one night while eating and it filled  me up so I could not eat the rest of my meal. I have gone from size 18 pants into 14s!!!! I just bought three new pairs of size 12 because by the end of the month I will need them. I have lost my butt and it feels great.

I am walking two miles a day while carrying 3 pound hand weights. My arms are getting smaller and I am losing my boobs. What an awesome feeling it is. I find that in Phase 4 my go to meal is 1/3 cup of FF cottage cheese, 2 slices of peach packed in water, and 1 to 2 ounces of deli sliced thin turkey or roast beef.

I am getting in all of my water with no problems at all and I am up to 53 grams of protein a day on average.  My protein is the first thing I eat!

I have never been so happy in my life. I feel great and have never been tired or had any pain.

Thank you for asking!

My husband says my face is getting small and my coworkers are like WOW you look great. I can even wear a belt with my shirt tucked in now.

If I could figure out how to upload pictures I would.
