One Month Post-Op!

It's been one month since surgery and things are good - very good.  This photo is me, in shorts (with my very white legs) but shorts none-the-less.  The kids and I were at the park with Kuma Steph and our lovely godchildren.  I had a great time being out, celebrating with a little stroll and sunshine. 

I started mushy foods this weekend with some of my first meals being greek yogurt or ricotta with pureed spaghetti sauce also refried beans.  My weight-loss has started but I can tell you that going from 300-500 calories to 800 calories a day really makes a difference in how one feels.  Once I can get used to these calories I will get more exercise in and take the last 20 lbs. off to meet my goal.  

Stefan and I are heading up to the Bay Area in a few weeks to celebrate my cousin's engagement and I'm really hoping to lose at least another 5-10 lbs. 

School/work is about to start back up and I've seen a lot of colleagues - some are noticing the weight loss and some are not.  At first I didn't think I'd mind that folks didn't notice the weight loss but I do - why?  Am I really that vain?  I thought I was losing the weight for my health?  Why should I care that folks notice?

More fun Before/After pictures coming soon.
