Yesterday was another good day.  I had my first real venture out of the house.   My daughter and I went shopping!   I had some gifts I needed to pick up.   My sister-in-laws birthday was 2 days after my surgery and I didn't get a gift before hand.  Also, my twin nieces birthdays are the first of Sept. so I needed to pick something up for them.   Also, one of my daughters friends that she has danced with most of her dancing years and a former employee of mine is having a baby and we missed her baby shower because of my surgery.    I felt relieved to get these done and sent off :-)   Another thing off of my "to do" list. Since my dumping incident the other night I'm back to just my protein drinks twice a day and my tomato soup twice a day with a popsycle or jello here or there.   I'm a little afraid to venture to far away from my diet until I see my doc again this coming Friday.  I am really excited about my weight loss so far!!  :-)Starting weight: 383 lbsTodays weight: 357 lbsTotal loss:  26 lbs (day 13)
