Week 7 Banded

I lost another 3 pounds between my fill and my primary doctor's visit last week. Yeah!
I did buy a few clothes (on sale) so that I don't look like I'm wearing bags.
I'm feeling much better, trying new foods, having more energy than in the past few weeks.
I've tried regular pork chops, quinoa, salad, peppers raw and cooked, little village tacos, and this morning- melon. That is not settling so well though. Either I ate too much or melon isn't good for me right now.
I feel like I'm moving better. I realized I haven't had any arthritis pain in my hip for a while now. I'm still a but confused on how much weight I've lost- where do I start? I'm tempted to go back to Feb. when I decided I needed to deal with my weight. Many start with the Pre-surgical diet. Maybe I need two numbers?

So: 40 pounds lost since Feb.
20 pounds lost since I prepared for surgery. 14 pounds lost since surgery.
60 pounds left to go. Whew! Round numbers are best.

People are starting to notice. I haven't been this small for 25 years!

I've eaten out. Mostly positive. Understanding restaurants are appreciated! I tried the 'give me the doggy bag now' request. Nope. They wanted to package leftovers after. I'll need to be more assertive.

Mostly I feel this is doable. Sometimes I look at what is left to lose, but mostly I look at what I've lost. I feel like I'm still on a honeymoon, coasting on the effects if surgery. But I'll enjoy this time!
