I know it has been awhile since i posted.  I just don't think about it.  I have lost a total of 43 pounds as of today.  It is pretty exciting to know for once in my life that i will not gain this weight back like i have in the past.  I need to go through my closet and take out the clothes that don't fit.  It is such a challenge to find things that look good at this point.  When i put on something that is too big it makes me still look big and i know that underneath that is not me.  I am starting to feel better than i was before although i know that i am not eating nearly as much protein or food in general that i am supposed to be.  It is just so hard to do that.  I take my vitamins religiously and try to get in as much protein as i can but oh well..... Enough for today i will try to do better. 

I am having a bad day today.  I bought some new protein powder and multi vitamin in powder form last night and had to gag both down today.  It is so frustrating to not like the things that we have to have.  I know in my head that i have to do this but my taste buds tell me otherwise.  I know that eventually it should get easier but until then sometimes i just want to give up.  Well tomorrow is another day so until then..........

September 2, 2008 - It will be 2 week tommorrow since i had my surgery.  I had my postop appointment last thursday (1 week and a day after surgery) and was down 11 lbs.  It has been a rough 2 weeks so far.  I have been trying to get my protein in as best i can even though i really don't like the shakes.  The vitamins i can not handle.  I am looking for an alternative to the chewables.  I am starting to get out for short periods of time. I do find that i get tired very quickly.  I had to cut one of my blood pressure pills in half already because my blood pressure was dropping real low.  I have an appointment with my cardiologist next week and we will see what he does with it.  Well I will try to keep up with the posting thing.
