A good morning and good dose of reality

So, as I've mentioned, I'm on liquids.  Boost, Slimfast, Carnation Instant Breakfast and a few soups blenderized with protein powder.  Delicious.  If I never see another protein shake after I get onto my mushy foods, I'll be happy.  But, given that I'm taking in less than 800 calories a day, I guess I'm bound to lose weight.  However, I haven't felt all that different because the anesthesia, etc... really blew me up - literally and figuratively.

However, I got on the scale this morning, and I'm down... Yippee!  I am finally getting rid of the bloating, and excess water weight from surgery.  I'm waiting until tomorrow when I see the surgeon for their scale reading to update my weight tracker, but according to mine, I'm down to 260.  Wow. 17  pounds.  However, my good dose of reality was that my butt is still big enough to knock a picture off of the side of the fridge when I walked past it!  Nothing like that to make sure I know that I have a long (or should I say wide) way to go!

I'm getting my haircut this afternoon, and will get 1-week out pictures on Friday - I'll try to start posting some before and current.  Thanks again for all your support!
