 As of today I have lost 100lbs from my heaviest weight pre gastric bypass.  I have not been on here much since my surgery.  I plan to be on here more tho.  I'm super excited that I am only 16 lbs from goal!

 I'm three months out now and very glad I had the surgery.  The first month was the hardest and I didn't realize how much I would miss chewing food.   now that I can have raw vegies and chicken breast my life is back to normal.  I feel much better.  Still have a hard time getting all my protien in, but I'm working on it.  I'm down to a size 14 and I havn't seen that size in a loooong time, I'm still losing an average of 3-5 lbs a week and that makes me very happy!  The surgery was well worth the struggles I went thru the first 6 weeks.  I would recomend it to anyone who has struggled with their weight like I have.

 Seriously, I'm struggling with this surgery.  I'm not hungry but being on clear fluids really sucks!  I miss chewing, and I miss food.  Not that I'm hungry for food b/c I'm not.  It doesn't even bother me to sit with people while they are eating and I'm drinking my "clear" fluids.  I guess I just want to be back to normal, and that includes eating...even if it is a small amount.  I'm sure once I make it thru the fluid part of this new lifestyle I will be ok, but getting there is very difficult for me.  In 3 weeks I will be able to have soft foods...3 weeks feels like an eternity from now!
