To date the grande total is 23 lbs! I went into the surgeon's today and he cleared me for mushy foods and shredded meats. I am SOOOO EXCITED! I went out to dinner tonight and chowed on mashed taters, green beans, and a little bit of turkey meat. It was like eating filet mignon and lobster (thanks Katie!)
Dr. C said that my incissions look great and that my activity level has been wonderful. He was pretty happy with my overall progress so that was good as well. He cleared me to head back to the pool for water aerobics so hopefully that will be back on the agenda next week as well as cardio and light weights.
Im pretty happy with my progress so far. My personal goal was a total of 30 lbs lost by June 15th. I am more than halfway there already so I am confident I will make it! I just need to keep my mashed potatoes in check so I dont start gaining it back though.
Thanks again for all of the well wishes. Everyone has been wonderful and supportive! Keep checking back for more updates and pictures. Im thinking my next picture post will be in about 2-3 weeks when I go in for my first post op nutrition class.
