Smiling ear to ear

Hi all you loosers LOL Hope you all are doing great on your journeys and those of you getting ready to start good luck!!!! Went to see the doc on monday and lost 15 lbs...not to bad for 12 days out i didn't think. Scar is healing so nicely he took off the steri-strips and told me to do whatever i like but if it hurt then to STOP. I walk everyday but as soon as i step out and that air hits i gotta go potty LOL. Awwww just love all tha****er and protein shakes. Biggest news i got was i actually fit into a pair of jeans yesterday i never thought i would...and they zipped up WOW...*pats self on back*. And this morning...guess what....I HAVE ANKLES!!!! Yes indeedy i really do have them LOL. Still some fluid i need to get rid of but by golly i got some pretty feet after all. Sorry folks need to brag on myself alittle lol. Inches are melting away, self esteem is growing i haven't felt this good about myself in so long. My biggest problem is weekends, watching the football games with friends and seeing all that food and of course those commericals with all that cheesey pizza and subs...so far i have let it pass but man sitting there and remembering how good it used to taste LOL. Im still doing the puree'd food and looking at my little plate of mush compared to that...sometimes its just to much and i leave the room ...so far its worked hope it continues. Begin with the end in mind. Take care all...be in touch soon Sally

Hi Sally! You go right ahead and brag! You are doing so well, you have every right to feel good about yourself! Sounds like your positive attitude is working in your favor. I truly think that is about half the battle. About the mush - this too shall pass! Before you know it, those days will be over and you will be eating REAL foods (and wishing you were back on the blended at some points ;). I am thrilled for your success! YOU GO GIRL! Keep up the great work - Jo

You are toooooooo funny!!! You deserve to jump for joy, to brag about your tiny little feet, they need love too! Pat yourself on the back all you can. I think it is wonderful you are feeling and doing so great. all you want because you owe it to yourself. As far as the pizza and stuff. Now and then I'll have a slice, but I do not care for the taste of the dough anymore. Nor do I like bread or anything like that unless its crackers, I think its the crunchy part I like. You will be surprised at how much your tastes will change. Just keep doing the water and protein, try to ignore the rest. I know, easier said then done.
