I finally see a difference!!

Hello Everyone. I hope that you all had a great weekend and the start of the week is going well.

I went on a road trip last weekend and it went great. The only thing that I found to be difficult about traveling is getting all my water in. Now that I am back, I am drinking TONS of water.

Next weekend I will be flying on an airplane for the first time since I had the surgery. I am sure that i will be able to get all my water in then. Much different from driving.

After quite a few days being on a weight loss plateau, I finally am starting to lose again. I bounce between 301 and 299 on my scale. I haven't been under 300 pounds in almost 4 years. I was so happy that i bought myself a present.

Food is going well. I am getting in my protein. I found that eating small salads with chicken is the easiest. The one problem I am having is trying to find decent carbs to eat. Fruit would be the ideal carb to eat but it is hard to find small portions of fruit. I fill up so fast on the protein that i can only take one or two bites of the fruit. This leaves quite a bit of fruit left.

I am no longer wearing a bandaid on my drain tube scar. It has finally healed over. The bruises from the Lovenox shots are starting to fade. I don't know if i mentioned before but i am no longer on the lovenox shots. That ended last Friday.

I am still taking the calcium and chewable vitamins twice a day. Vitamin B1 is much to be desired. I can't stand taking that medication. I think that when 3 months comes around and i can swallow the pills whole, i still will try and find the chewables.

Now to the topic of this post. Yesterday is the first time that I really saw a difference with the weight loss. Especially in my face. I looked in the mirror and my mouth dropped. I couldn't believe it. This surgery was definitly worth it!!!
