Week 3!!!

Just to think, 3 weeks ago I was getting ready to have my surgery, writing this blog which has touched so many of you.

I am officially on "soft foods" can I get a WOOHOO!!!! Tonight I made this :

Italian Pasta-less Turkey Bolognese







It was DELICIOUS!!! Even though I could only eat about 3-4 regular bites of it... hah

So how am I feeling three weeks out? I would love to tell you that I feel 100% but I sooo don't. I went to my first post-op appointment on Friday. Doctor took me off work for two more weeks. He told me that some people just get their butts handed to them after surgery and it takes about 6 weeks to feel "Normal."

My energy level is about a 5 out of 10 on a good day.  By the time I wake up, catch a shower, get dressed I am POOPED. I am trying to stretch myself a little more everyday. I need to get OVER this, I can't let it hold me back from my ultimate goal.

Tomorrow I am going to go walking with my sister. It is my first "official" work-out session. I am nervous but I am ready.

I have not weighed in since Friday. I weighed in down 24 lbs from surgery, 56 lbs overall from my highest weight. My doctor was very pleased with that. I know I could rock some serious numbers once I get up and move around.

My next big scale goal is 100 Lbs. I would like to lose that by Christmas. So only 44 more pounds to go! Which is fine, because 44 is my favorite number!

I am starting to really feel the difference in my clothes. My work pants that I always wear to work are baggy in the butt and the legs where before they were tight!  Also my shirts have a lot more room in the tummy area. I would like to be a size smaller in pants when I go back to work in October! Hey! Why not!

Well, thanks for reading up on me. Wish me luck tomorrow! GOTTA START SOMEWHERE!!!
