It's been a looooong time!

It's been a long time since I posted.  Here's a quick recap of the past 2 months:

• I went on vacation with my family in the middle of April and had a great time.  Eating out was a bit challenging considering I was only 6 weeks post op, but I managed.
• My wound finally closed the end of April.  I was so happy to not have to deal with that any more.  My husband was also happy to no longer have to pack my wound every morning at 6AM!
• In the beginning of May I went back to the gym.  I finally had enough energy and no more pain to start exercising.  Prior to May, the only exercise I got was walking. 
• As of today, May 29th (3 months post-op), I am down 36 pounds since I had the surgery.  I am feeling great and have lots of energy!

So that's a quick summary of what life has been like for the past couple of months.  I am burned out on the protein shakes so that has been a problem.  I've been having the Special K Protein Water and that's good.  I also switched from the vanilla and chocolate type of shakes to the fruity ones.  I think the key is to switch it up a lot so you don't get burnt out! 

I still can't eat raw vegetables.  Rice and potatoes make me sick - even a tiny amount.  I've been eating mostly protein, dairy, fruit and cooked veggies, which has been totally fine.  I just need to make sure that I make a variety of things and not the same thing day after day.  It's very easy to get in a rut!
