3 weeks post op!

Today I am 3 weeks post op. I can't believe it's already been 3 weeks. I'm feeling great! I feel more like myself again. I still have one drain left from surgery, but will hopefully have it removed on Friday at my Dr. appointment. I'm now on pureed foods. So think baby food. Yea it's not very appetizing, but the fact that I'm progressing along with very little trouble is awesome. We went to Drug Emporium today to pick up some new protein shakes. I found a couple I'm very excited to try. One is a Mint Chocolate. I hope it's as good as it sounds. Everyone I've talked to says they taste pretty good. I think that's what I'll have for lunch today is one of my protein shakes after it gets nice and cold in the refrigerator. According to the scale at the Dr. office I am at 283. A total lost of 22 lbs. 8 more lbs and I'm back to the weight I was right after I had Sara 5 1/2 years ago. 13 more lbs and I'll be back to the smallest I've been since right after the twins were born. I'm getting excited looking at where I'm going.

I can see a difference in my face when I look in the mirror. Others tell me they can already tell a difference in my abdomen. I can't really see it there, but some of my pants are fitting loser, so that's a good sign. I've decided I'm going to take my measurements once a month, on the anniversary of my surgery. So on Oct 11, I will be taking my measurements again. I'm very excited to do so just to see how far I've come in just one month. :) I will be sure to post the update when I do it.

I guess that's about it for now. I'll update you again soon! Thanks for reading!
