Chick-ON ON ON

Well... I'm supposed to be waiting until next week to start eating solid foods, but last night I had about a 2 inch piece of chicken cut up very small - I mean VERY small and mixed in some spaghetti sauce. I did very well with it. It went down and stayed there just fine! I was happy about that! I realized that I'm going to have to have things pretty wet here at first to get it down. I did talk to some other more experienced Bypass patients and they said that as I get further out I will be able to eat just chicken. Thats a good thing too because I'm not all into having my food smothered in sauces and stuff. Just give my hubby a barrel of ketchup and he would be happy to eat any meat with it! lol :)

Last night, much later in the night, I actually ate a string cheese and ate almost all of it! Then this afternoon I had one for lunch and DID eat it all! Everything stayed down and I did well!

Anyway, I just wanted to report a good day... Oh and even better... I weighed today and I was 258lbs... I've lost 42lbs now! How exciting! I havent seen the scale say 2 5 ANYthing in over 10 years so it was pleasant! My goal is to try to get to 250lbs by the time I get to see my surgeon next week Thursday! 8lbs in a week... think I can do it?? I'm gonna try!! :)

Well I hope for another good day tomorrow... all I can do is take this one day at a time. :)
