Day 7 & 8 liquid diet

The days just keep getting easier. Much more energy, not many problems waking up in the morning. The only issues that I have are the super loose stools that come along with an all liquid diet, and missing actual food. Don't get me wrong, detoxing is and was probably needed because with out it I couldn't have the surgery. But I can't wait until I can eat normal food again. 

Today I went and had my pre-op labs done and got more information on what I can and can't have after surgery. Monday is my surgery date and I'll come home on Tuesday. Then begins the real work. Exercising, getting in all my liquids, making sure I'm getting all the protein in.  I can't thank my support system enough. It's been hard, but I know in the long run it will be worth it!!

Surgery day!!

Today is the big day! Surgery. I weighed in at 223.6. So I am going to say that is my starting weight!! I'm nervous and a tad scared. The pre-op diet was ok. The first 4 days were rough, but after I got though those it was a breeze! Say a prayer, cuz here I go.

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...
