Wow...

I’m down 19 lbs today! Freakin woot!!! In 3 weeks!! That’s pretty damn sweet in my opinion! :)

Sorry I haven’t posted much of an update recently. The first two weeks after surgery were sort of busy. The first week I was still really sore and tired all the dang time. After the second week I was feeling a lot better and 100% off the pain medication (that was during week 1 really) and was getting super stir crazy! I think because of that I’ve been going out and doing stuff constantly. I can’t stand to just be sitting and bumming! I’m sure things will slow down a bit again soon but right now I am on a ‘get up and move” roll! Been doing lots of Karaoke and just getting out of the house :)

I’m on soft foods now – basically stuff I can chew down to a mush. This really gives me quite a few options, which is nice. I still can’t have raw veggies or fruit but soon enough… If I stay at the rate I’m going I may be down 40lbs by my 6-week appointment! That would be exciting! I’m feeling much better so it’s easier for me to get my “movement” in for the day. Yesterday I did a 30min aerobics tape and WHEW it wore me OUT! I guess I’m not as ready to go back to the gym as I thought – still getting tired a bit easy. Lame-o.

Things are getting better every day and that makes me excited. I promise to be better about blogging again. I may even start taking pics of my food! Ok… well maybe I’ll wait until its not all mush! Hehe!
