Day 5 & 6 of my liquid diet

These past two days have been a million times easier than the first 4. 

Yesterday (Day 5) I woke up and had energy for days. I mean, I have no clue where this energy came from, I don't want it to go away. The only downside to all that energy, no matter how much house work I did, I couldn't go to sleep when I wanted to. I still had my occipital nerve pinched so I was still in a fair amount of pain, but I pushed through it. 

Today (Day 6) I got that occipital nerve fixed and I feel amazing. Still a ton of energy. I am managing to get most of my fluids in. I still have to choke down a shake or two. The water is going down smoothly. As I was making mac and cheese for my kids for dinner I didn't even have the urge to take a bite. I have worked and come to far to turn back now!  

I have pre-op appointments on the 19 to get all the labs done. The kiddos have been taken care of and Jay is still being super supportive. Even when all I want to do it quit, he tells me no. 

7  days and I will have a mini stomach!!

A bunch of new updates

Man!!!! I haven't updated here in awhile! Let me give you the skinny, (see what I did there??). Ok I am now 3 months and some change out of my surgery. I have lost a total of 45 lbs, and 8 inches. I am down almost 2 pants sizes. I can fit into size Large shirts. As far as dresses go, I can wear a size 14 in a dress. Here is me in the dress I wore to Casino Night at Penned Con 2017. Size 14, and I wasn't the least bit uncomfortable!! The other picture is of my crossing my legs without being in pain or being uncomfortable. I know that I am saying uncomfortable alot, but, when you are 240 lbs crossing your legs is very uncomfortable. When I was able to finally cross my legs again, that was a huge victory. I have noticed that if I eat certain things, my stomach will hurt. Not very painful, but it is a ache that really make me not want to eat the rest of the day. So with the holidays coming up, you may be asking what I will be able to eat. Well, I can eat whatever I want t...

Week 4 Post op- more like a rant than anything

I know that I skipped last week, but I had nothing new report. But this week I have a little rant... So I belong to several support groups on Facebook, and the majority of the posts that I see on there are people that are really excited about something that they eat or they found that they can handle, or even if it is just a question they will ask it. Now being in a support groups you tend to think that people will be supportive and answer the question with answers that will help you. But, the responses that these people are answering with are nothing like being supportive. For example, I found Fairlife Milk yesterday. I put on one of my support groups that I used that to mix my protein powder for a total of 44 grams of Protein. I don't drink this all at the same time, it takes me an hour or more to drink all of this. The comments that I received were: -You can't digest that much protein at one time- to -Your body will only consume 30 grams of protein at one time. There wer...
