Hello Again,
Well, I know I haven't been blogging about my status lately, but I have a good reason for that! I haven't had any reports just as of yet until 5/24; which was my first 2 week follow-up and I will say everything went fine; my vitals were on point and not to mention that I feel great!
I will start off by saying that I am down 24lbs in 3 1/2 weeks when in the past I couldn't lose 3 lbs in 3 months...However, it has been a challenge and definitely a life-changing experience as they may say! I also have been trying a few new things in my diet just to see if I could tolerate some different foods.
Although I am very self-consious with what I eat, I know the only way I will know what I CAN eat is to try out a few things. So, I have tested applesauce, mashed potatoes, thin but cream soups and most were tolerable; except the applesauce. The texture of it going down is not a pleasant feeling for me so I'll just stay away for now!
I also made a BOO-BOO on today; I went a little overboard with my senses. I called myself going out to eat with a friend of mine and instead of ordering my usual (soups and protein shakes); I tried a little tilapia....wait a minute before you start in on me, I just wanted to taste a small, small fork full just to see if I can digest it okay while chewing it to a puree. Well, it was okay but I know I won't be trying that again until the next few months. It was a little tough and I couldn't chew it as much as I would have liked blenderized!
I already knew that I could do mashed potatoes but how about meat?! Well, today I gave it a try and felt guilty! I felt like a cheat! I will not lose this race I said to myself! So, I will just make sure I follow my specialized diet plan and I know there will be no self-guilt. I will keep posting as much as possible but until then...To a Happy Sleeved Success!
