It has been one month since my surgery

It was a month ago yesterday that I had my surgery, and let me just start out by saying, I would never change this, even though its alot of work, I love my new lifestyle.  Thanks to Dr. Williams and all his wonderful staff over at New Life Center of Bariatrics for everything they done to give me my new life.  I have as of the 19th lost 78 pds!! That's alot of weight, 40 of it has been in the month since I had surgery.40 PDS! Yeah, like that's a toddler lost.  I also started working out a gym 3-4 days a week.  My life physically is changing for the better, better than it has ever been, and I am so thankful for this tool, this gift, this second chance on life that I am living now.  I go back to Dr. Williams on Monday, I am hoping then to find out that I have lost another 10-15 pds. I lost 12 pds in one week!! Yeah, I am totally loving this, cant eat, so what... who needs the food, I have my protein shakes, my G2 Gatorade,a Popsicle here and there, and I am getting my life back... you go ahead and swallow that big bite of cheeseburger there for me, I will take my protein shake, and continue working hard at getting into my pair of "Skinny" jeans I bought, hahaha... on top of the world here in my weight loss people. I am tickled to death with the decision I made to have this surgery. If anyone were to ask me if it was worth the risks to have it, I would tell them, YES absolutely, it is the best thing I ever done in my life!!

I have lost 14 pds, and its will not be 2 weeks till tomorrow

Yesterday was my first check up visit since surgery, and I had lost 14 pds.  The nurse said that was good, she said they expect a 10% weight loss and mine was a 14% so that I had done good.  She advanced me to stage 2 of the diet plan. My first meal was tuna/light mayo.  It took me 45-50 minutes to get down 3 tablespoons of food... but I kept it down. I am going to do everything by the book, exactly like they tell me to, because I want to loose the most weight possible. Just wanted to update my progress. I am so happy and feel great.

Got my Medical ID Bracelet today

I am not a rich person, quiet the opposite, I am dirt poor.  I had to have a medical ID bracelet, because after bariatric surgery we can not have any NSIADS or a NG Tube placed in us.  Well most commonly these bracelets are quiet expensive.  Well I went to Walgreens Website and they had one for 17.99 and it had a USB port that you plugged into any pc, and put in all of your medical information. Awesome was the first thing that came to my mind, I can afford 18 bucks, and this will allow me to put everything on it.  Well let me tell ya, it is well worth that 18 dollars, I love it, it allows you to upload a full blown medical history, and is super easy to do.   If you are like me and don't have tons of money to blow on a high price one, but know you need one, go here and get one. I got the pink one... I love it!!
