Stepped on the scale this morning and am down a total of 40 pounds (I lost 10 lbs. pre-op and have lost 30 since my surgery on 7/14). YAY!
Today was my 2nd follow-up appointment with my doctor and our "Soft Food Class." I get to start eating "flaky" foods like tuna fish, salmon, and super soft meats like ground turkey and ground chicken.
On the way back to work from my appointment, I bought some tuna fish (3 oz. cans) and low-fat mayo (also allowed in super small quantities at this point by my doc). When I got to work, I mixed the tuna fish, mayo, and pepper together, divided that into 3 portions, and had one portion for my lunch! OMG!!! That was the most amazing tuna fish I'd ever had in my entire life! HAHAHAHA!
Also on the way back to work, I had to stop and buy a couple of smaller-sized capris and tops. Even though I have several items in my closet that are smaller sized, I realized I didn't have any 3x or size 26 clothes. My 4x/5x & 28/30 clothes are just too big and falling off of me. It was a great feeling to know that 4x and 5x are in my past now!!!
I'm also starting to feel like I have energy again and that my stamina is returning. Until now, I'd doing something active for 3 - 5 minutes and then have to sit down. That's finally getting better. Gosh, could it have something to do with NOT carrying around an extra 40 pounds??? ;-)
