Long time no post!

It has been quite some time since my last post, but life has just been crazy around here.  We finally moved back to Iowa and are so happy!  I am working as a home care nurse and my husband is working in a warehouse nearby.  I had a surprise surgery the Tuesday before Thanksgiving which has really slowed me down.  I was having a lot of pain and when I finally got to see my surgeon he was fairly certain that I had some internal hernias, so he sent me from the office to the OR and as it turns out some of my connections were coming apart and I had some very large, thick adhesions wrapped around my bowels.  But since the surgery my pain has not returned, but some of the weight has.  I have been hovering in the 240's for months.  With the surgery and the move I gained a few lbs, but thankfully not as much as I would have gained prior to WLS.  With that being said I have taken on a new challenge in the way of liquid Tuesdays and liquid Fridays.  Meaning twice per week I will do protein shakes and water all day and then a cream soup for dinner without chunks.  So likely tomato soup since that is the only one I like.  Several of my friends (both WLS friends and non WLS friends) have joined the challenge and I am truly amazed by this.  I am so blessed to have such supportive and amazing people in my life.  I am so thankful for every single one of them.  So I will end this short entry with the hopes of jump starting my weight loss again and moving on to goal.
