Down 17 pounds

In less than two weeks ... 17 pounds. That's what happens when your stomach is reduced to nearly nothing and you're on full liquids. So what have I been eating? Let's see: chicken broth, Jello, yogurt, protein shakes (yuck), popsicles, strained cream soups ... that sort of thing. Yum yum, huh? Well, on Wednesday I move to purees and believe me, after two weeks of this shit, I'm looking forward to that.

My energy's been up and down. It's up today and I'm in Pacifica working. Then I plan to go to the gym for the first time since the surgery. Yes, Mom, I'm taking it easy on myself.

Onward ...
