I have dropped two sizes since I started down this road to healthy with my pre-op liquid diet on June 2, 2014. According to my scale, I'm a third of the way to the goal weight my dr decided on. I have no regrets about my decision to have surgery. It was THE best thing I've ever done for myself and I'm excited to see where this road will end!

In 7 weeks:
Total weight lost ~ 31.6#
Total inches lost ~ 19.75

Soft foods. YUM! Not much more I can say about that! I did try some unsweetened apple sauce yesterday. ...

So...it's been one day since I started incorporating soft foods back into my day. Started out with 1/2 a poached egg yesterday morning, approx 1 1/2 spoonfuls of cottage cheese yesterday afternoon and actually had several small bites of tilapia and squash last night...probably my favorite of all the things I tried yesterday.
