Two weeks out and down 15 pounds!

I just went to see the nutritionist today and am officially down 15 pounds since surgery on April 5th. WHOOPIE!!! I am now on soft foods and had my first "big girl" lunch today of one ounce of deli ham and 1/2 ounce of string cheese. My nutritionist suggested I do 6 meals of 1-1/2 ounces each to start with. I was sure that would not be enough...WRONG!!! It was just right. I had no problems with eating either. I think I will have a Boca Burger for my next mini-meal and see how that goes down. Took my dog for a walk for 20 minutes. Will have to go out on my own later to finish up. I want to do 30 to 45 minutes a day. Well, just wanted to share. Have a great day everyone!!! Holly O.

Holly, Congrads on your weightloss. I am so excited for you. I talked to ins rep and they said When I see the surgeon on the 5/5. Then they will have a answer for me..I will keep you updated.. Polly

Thaks Polly!!! How exciting for you!!!! I am sure you are all set to go. I will send prayers and positive vibes your way. Have a great weekend. Holly O.

15 pounds is sooo awesome Holly!! You should be very proud of yourself, I know we are proud of you. Do you have any idea just how good ham and string cheese sounds to me!!!??? I have another 10 days of CIB, yogurt and LF cream soup ahead of me until I can move along. It sounds like things are going great for you. Keep up the good work. Linda

Hi Holly, Good for you! You are doing so great! I can't believe that you were able to eat ham and string cheese already! Keep up the good work and just enjoy the good feelings. Luann

That is so awesome!!!! And it was great seeing you out and about so soon after surgery as well! Keep up the good work - I live in Quincy too - I bet we will run into each other somewhere soon! Liz -83

I would imagine we probably will. It was good to see you again and to hear all your wisdom on being post-op. I guess I am one of the lucky ones feeling so well so soon after the surgery. Must be my good pioneer stock!!! lol. Thanks for you support and I will see you next month. Holly-15
