Advancing

I have gotten through stage 2 now, and now I am onto stage 3. New food choices, and more flavor! Foods are to be pureed and soft for 2 weeks, but each texture is only a week long - so in a week I will be able to have even more choices. Today will be the much anticipated mashed potatoes! We will see how that goes.

Still having a bit trouble sleeping - however I am completely of the meds! I still have some pain, but not enough to have the high strength stuff. Each night I am getting a little more but I am still tired throughout the day. I am doing a little more and more each day with my activity and soon will be back to work.

I had my first follow up last Monday and I made my goal - actually I surpassed it. My goal was 12 pounds, and I have lost 15! Going out this weekend to get a scale so I can keep track of the weight loss. Since I have started my journey - I am down 39 pounds!! Each Sunday I will be weighing in to make sure I am on track!
