This is Me.

This is the story of my Weight Loss Surgery, namely the Vertical Gastric Sleeve. When I started this journey, I really wanted someone to tell me exactly what to expect, what to eat, what to do, etc, so I decided to chronicle my OWN journey.....to be able to look back on it, but also to possibly help someone else about to start theirs.

Day 30 - First official day of purees/mashed

Boy was I excited about Friday. Although it was a little anti-climactic since I actually started eating real food the day before. However, I'd been looking forward to Friday for a week. My plan was to meet my friend Jolene at Cheddar's for a cup of their baked potato soup. In the past, I remember it being really thick and creamy. But this time it was thinner, almost brothy. And it just didn't do it for me. So then, since I didn't have enough protein at that meal, I felt like I was hungry the rest of the day. I've realized that I need at least 20 grams of protein at each meal. It helps fill me up and I truly believe it helps me lose weight.
When I got home, I ate/drank dinner (a protein shake) then laid down at 7:30 for a quick nap. When I woke up 3 hours later, I realized how incredibly tired I was!
