Update

Just realized today its been awhile since I visited ye olde blog! The weight is still coming off, albeit slow. I plan to amp up my exercise and protein this week to see if that shakes up things a bit.

Whats new and exciting:

• I now have a total aversion to seafood and eggs. Can't eat it, smell it, or think about it. Even typing that made me a little gaggy. Unknown if this will be permanent...
• I had to switch from chewable tablet Calcium to the starburst-texture kind. It was just too nasty and I wasn't taking it like i'm supposed to.
• I am now "cleared" to eat any texture food I want. The only thing I am really having difficulty with is chicken. I have tried a lot of preparations, but it is being stubborn. I've thrown it up several times, which is annoying and unpleasant.
• PB2 is awesome. I've been putting it in protein shakes and it is yum. Adds 5g of protein to the shake and a ton of flavor! I use it with chocolate or banana Bariatric Advantage protein powder. 

I've been trying not to have too many shakes lately, but I have had to supplement when I can't get down my lunch or dinner (especially if it was chicken).

I'm also REALLY trying to make breakfast a priority. It just seems like I can't eat anything before 12pm except coffee. I just don't want anything, not even a shake. I made some healthy mini muffins today as a game plan for this week, also I have some yogurt and I bought fancy granola so hopefully that will motivate me. The nutritionist says I'm supposed to eat TWICE before lunch... currently I would be thrilled with a few bites of yogurt.

Lets see, what else. I am pretty much in a size XL now, down from 2X. I discovered that I can't really wear any of my 2X stuff anymore, unless it is a sweater wrap or something. I recently bought some leggings in size 1X juniors and they fit great. I think that is probably a regular XL. So that is exciting! I think i'm probably in a 16-18 pants but I have been wearing smaller dresses.

Also someone who hadn't seen me in awhile greeted me like, "Hey, skinny!" yesterday. That made me smile real big :-)

As far as goals, I'd like to be down 20 more lbs by Christmas. I think that is doable. That would put me just at or under 200lbs which is my first BIG goal. I will definitely be celebrating then!!
