Weeks 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Yikes I have not been keeping up with this very well now that life is back in full swing with teaching, grad school, church, etc. My apologizes.

I have still been taking my pictures though! Every Saturday.  I start out having every intention of blogging and then...something gets in the way.  I will try and do better though.  Several people have asked me in person and online when my next post would be and I do not want to let you all down.

So, here are my pictures in order of post-op 7 to post-op week 10.

From week 6 to 7 I lost 1.5 pounds.  Week 7 to week 8 post-op I lost 4.3 pounds.  Week 8 to week 9 I lost 3.2 pounds.  This past week, post-op week 9 to post-op week 10 I lost another 4.2 pounds.  Total lost you ask?? 59.8 pounds since my heaviest weight (Early June).  Since surgery (July 12th), 10 weeks ago, I have lost 44.8 pounds.  Here is my pre surgery picture and my latest side by side. I was blown away and had a huge smile on my face at the same time! 

Talk about a big difference right?!?!

So since my last blog I have made pizza. You read that right...pizza that I can eat! That would be pizza that is low carb, high protein, low to no fat.  You make it out of whole wheat low carb tortilla and put non-fat cheese, turkey pepperoni, mushrooms on top...mhhmmmmm makes me smile just thinking about it.  

I also made turkey cheeseburger mini meatloaves (delish!!!!).

This past week I made mini chocolate protein muffins.  They have sugar-free caramel gooeyness inside.  For a bypass patient, this is like heaven.  It is just sweet enough to satisfy a craving, but not too sweet to make me want to get sick.

Most, if not all, of the recipes I used came from http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/

She has wonderful recipes that anyone, not just bariatric patients, will enjoy.  Definitely worth a look.

Thanks again for all of the wonderful support I have been getting both online and in person.  It means so much to me and keeps me focused and on track.
