New Beginnings in 09

Change, I am one to not like change, but with RNY you can't help but change many times a week! When my journey started, I stopped drinking carbonated soft drinks, which let me tell you wasn't easy. You could say that I should have owned stock in Coke products. We went through 4 two liters a week. Yep, I lived in sugar heaven. Now my DH (dear husband) might drink 1 every two weeks! Yes, that's change. On October 13th, the day of my surgery, my life changed dramtically. I have lost 81 pounds to date, which is a MAJOR change. I haven't weighed 221 in I guess about 15 years. I have changed sizes 4 times and now will only buy a few clothes. I don't want to spend a lot of money on clothes that I will wear for two weeks, it's just not smart. People that haven't seen me in awhile have come up to me and asked if I had been sick, others look twice and then ask tentatively my name, just in case they have the wrong person. It's fun to see the look on their faces when I tell them how much weight I've lost.

What I ate today: Breakfast: 6 ounces Yoplait blackberry yogurt, it was good except for the blackberry seeds, I wasn't expecting that! Lunch: 1/4 cup corn chowder and a quarter of a grilled cheese sandwich. That was Good! Water throughout the day with grape drink mix and my vitamins. For Dinner I had a Morningstar farms sausage pattie and OJ. For my late nite snack I will probably drink a protein shake, or have protein ice cream. Thanks to a fellow blogger, theworldaccordingtoeggface. She has the BEST recipes for protein ice cream and protein shakes.
