Attended my second nutrition class yesterday where I learned more about protein, carbs and fiber. Also learned more about how to eat after surgery. I'm getting pretty excited but nervous.
I have been working hard. I'm so thankful for my darling daughter who walks with me everyday. We live in a beautiful area and have many places we can go to walk.

This past week I had an upper GI scope done so my doctor could see how big my hiatial hernia is. Turns out it is very small and not a concern. The Bypass will fix the issue. The day of the procedure I slept pretty much all day and had a horrible sore throat. My throat is still sore but doing better. My doctor directed me to eat soup and shakes that day. I hadn't had sugar in a while so I was hesitant but I'm glad I got the shakes. It felt incredibly good as the ice cold yumminess slid down my throat. It has caused sugar cravings to return but doing my best to get back on track.
I was happy to see I am down over 15 pounds. Changing behaviors is really working for me as I prepare my body for surgery! I can feel the progress in my clothing and even when I sit on my bed. I'm feeling so mch more comfortable. It is amazing the improvements with just 15 pounds gone.
I have 135 pounds left to lose. I am focusing on enjoying the changes at each step rather than worrying about the big number.
