WLS Update

Thought I'd give an update on the amount of weight I've lost so far. As of Saturday when I last weighed, I was down 85 pounds (this includes the approximately 43 pounds I had lost prior to surgery). Feels good to be absent that additional weight! My knees, however, still have some pain. I see the surgeon tomorrow and will ask about that. I think one of the medications I take are making it worse as one of the side effects is severe joint pain.

I've been able to eat some additional types of food. Had chili (no meat) this weekend and also some Lean Cuisine pizza (again, no meat). I've had incidents with meat coming back up on me, so it scares me to try it again. I know I will have to, but not rushing into it! I also tried some bread and that works now, too. Shouldn't eat too much of it though.

I joined the YMCA (again) yesterday, but haven't attended yet. I need to buy new CPS (Car Payment Shoes) because my old ones are loose and just not real pretty! I tried some shoes on at Kohl's this afternoon and didn't find any that fit right. So, I am sure I still have to buy the expensive ones to find a good fit.

I'll update again after the doctor's appointment if there's anything significant to report.
