I missed writing my journal entry yesterday. It was kind of a blah day for me. I got up and felt good and after breakfast (my protein drink) I started cleaning my bedroom. I got tired really fast so I layed around the rest of the day. I guess I have to remember that it's only been 15 days since major surgery and although I feel good and my small incisions have healed, I'm still healing on the inside. Today I went out today and had my nails done. It felt really good to be able to pamper myself a little bit more :-) I was going to go for a walk, but it's really hot here today and news says we're supposed to have this heat wave through the weekend. If it cools off nicely this evening I may take my walk then. I'm going into work tomorrow for my first time since surgery. I'll just be doing some light work and paperwork. My daughter has been wonderful running the store and managing everything while I've been gone. I've decided that probably for this next week I'm only going to work 3 days instead of my normal 6 days. I need to be able to give my daughter some time off as she's been working 6 days a week for the last month. I also go see my doc tomorrow morning for my 2 week post op. I'm hoping he'll say it's time to start the next phase of the diet and be able to add soft foods. We'll see. Starting weight: 383 lbsTodays weight: 355 lbs. Total loss: 28 lbs (day 15)

EXCELLENT!!! You are doing so very well! How are those protein shakes going down?? So far for me, since my surgery on July 16th, I\'m down 34 pounds (including the two week pre-op diet...) I had to go buy some size 22 clothes today since my 26/28 are TOO BIG!!!! Oh darn!! All my best to you!

I\'m doing good with the protein shakes. I have one (powdered Whey) in the morning with my vitamins crushed into it. And one in the evening that I use as my \"desert\". In the evening I use Chocolate Adkins Advantage (high protein) and add a scoop of my whey protein and a small piece of extra ripe banana.
Thanks for the kind words. Your doing great also!
