1 month update

Well, I'm a month and a day out and finally feeling somewhat human! I was released to soft foods and found I really didn't care!! I'm so full from the protein and the water I drink that food was almost a non-issue. The other night I ate the tiniest amount of cream of wheat with butter and splenda. I'm of course, terrified of overfilling that pouch so I was just comfortable. I ate a single potato skin with cheese today, not exactly good food but it tasted like nirvana and I chewed it until the cows came home. I'll try and see if I can fit something in for dinner a little later. Dr. Oh is pretty strict, no bread and no meat until the 2 mos appt. Very harsh considering I love meat and tolerate veggies. This month will teach me a lot. As for my weight loss I'm down a total of 36 pounds. Feels pretty good, already dropped a size. Back and legs don't ache when I stand and walk. If I had more energy I'd be running laps I swear! We're hoping the energy will come with time. Have a great day everyone and thanks! Deb

Hi Deb! Congrats on your weight loss!!! WOW!!! I am glad you are feeling more human. I know you were struggling, but it does get better I tried to call you last weekend, but you were not home. We are leaving for Disney Land on Thursday morning, so we won't be home for 11 days or so, but give me a call if you get a chance before then *hugs* Laura Oh P.S. I went for my 4 month check up...I have 29 pounds to get to goal...YIPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! Dr. Oh says I should be there by my next appointment. Hopefully he is right!

Deb, sounds like you're off to a great start! Keep up the good work!
