I dug out the size 16 capris downstairs and the majority of them fit. Hooray.

I'll have to look for protein water. I've not seen it.

Seeing my feet is great, as well. I can even bend over and touch the floor without straining. Granted I am only 5' tall so it's not far to the floor. HA! We are all doing so good. I am proud of all of us and glad we are in this together.

My husband and I went out for lunch yesterday, one of the few times since I had my surgery. I got a catfish sandwich and a baked potato. I brought 1/2 the potato and a little more than 1/2 of the catfish home. I didn't eat the bread. It tasted so good. I have been on a fish kick the last 2...

I went shopping this morning for a little while. Tried on a pair of size 16 capris, just to see if they fit. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to button them. To my great surprise, they actually fit and I didn't have any trouble buttoning them. I didn't buy them, however. I have several pairs...

I haven't weighed in a week but I am happy with the 57 lbs. at my last weigh-in. I will weigh tomorrow morning. Hoping to hit 60 lbs. off but I won't be upset it I haven't. Anything is good!!!

I only sleep 5-6 hours a night most nights, anyway. I did sleep 10 hours last Sat. night. Couldn't believe it. My husband said he kept coming to the bedroom to make sure I was still breathing. :)

my surgeon was recommended by my primary care doctor and also 2 of my friends had him do their bariatric surgery. I didn't even think to look him up.

I still have my gall bladder and have no issues so far. I hope I don't have to have it taken out.

I take Celebrate multi-vitamins, once a day, and Up Cal powder added to my water 3 times a day. I got the Celebrate vitamins on Amazon. com and the Up Cal from the pharmacy at the hospital where my surgeon is. The powder is tasteless and I add it to my water with whatever flavor I am going to...

I have a Premier protein shake every morning for breakfast. That's a good start on my protein for the day. I drink at least 4 16oz. bottles of water a day, as well. So far, so good. I haven't hit a plateau yet but I am waiting for it to happen.

Jan. 10th was my surgery date. so it has been 10 weeks. I only lost about 8 lbs. the week before surgery. Only had to do the liquid diet 1 week before surgery.

I made a protein shake last week and made what I couldn't eat into popsicles. When I get hungry, I grab one of those. Not bad.

I eat cottage cheese or a cheese stick. That curbs my appetite. Some days I don't get hungry at all and other days, I want to eat all the time. Today is a good day and I haven't been hungry.

I was on a 6 month doctor supervised diet (required by insurance). I saw my surgeon every month or so before surgery because he wanted to make sure I had covered everything required by my insurance company. I had to see a cardiologist, have an EKG and electrocardiogram and stress test, have a...

I always eat my protein first. Been eating a lot of fish lately. I used to didn't care for anything but tuna and catfish but I have been expanding my horizons, so to speak. I don't drink very often so doing without liquor isn't a big deal for me.

for dinner tonight I had 1/2 of a small catfish fillet and about 4 French fries. That was enough to fill me up. I always wait the 1/2 hour or so after eating to drink. Otherwise I am miserable. Don't belch but would probably feel better if I did. :) I use a small plate, as well. Makes it look...

I am 62 and had surgery Jan. 10th. Best decision I have ever made, other than marrying my husband. HA! I feel so much better about myself since losing 57 lbs. Still have 63 to go but I am about 1/2 way. Went through a bunch of shirts this morning that didn't fit for the last 4-5 years and they...

I had a protein shake for breakfast about 6:15 this morning. Haven't eaten anything since. I am going to have catfish for dinner so I'll get more protein then. I have drank 32 oz. of water so far today so I'm doing good that way. I have been full of energy today and got a lot done around here...
