I haven't been on recently. Its been hectic and crazy and I haven't had the time to log on. But I have wonderful news. I was married on 8/9/08 in a beautiful beach ceremony and had a great reception. 2nd greatest news: I am down 51 pounds!!! I want to cry scream yell!!!

61 pounds to go for my goal weight of 140!!!!  Whoo hoo!!!

On Phase 2 - Watery/Mushy/Puree Foods
Having trouble finding things to eat. I have to find some protein shakes because I know I'm not getting enough proteins. I get full quickly. The Doctor wants me to take 30 minutes to eat but I get full before the 30 minutes. On some occasions I get the full 4 ounces but on others I don't. And it's hard no to drink when you eat when I'm accustomed to drinking some water to get food particles out of my mouth. Taking Day by Day... Down 19 Pounds!!!! Hooray!!!

I'm feeling better today. Not 100% but definitely better. Yesterday was the worst day so far. I could barely swallow my fluids and would feel this tightness as things trickled down my throat. I also had very harsh upset stomach and heartburn. I was sucking on Tums most of the day and I definitely didn't drink that correct amount of Fluids for the day.

Woke up today in definitely a better mood and able to swallow a bit more. I still feel some pressure in my esophagus but I'm able to take a bit more fluids.
