Wow. I came out of the hospital at 255. Today I'm at 240. 15 pounds already gone!!! I've been drinking water and protein, trying to get in 400-700 calories perday. At least that is what the Dr said to do. I can't quite get it all in yet but I'm getting close...

This morning I went a little fast with everything so it all ended up in the toilet. So I'm starting over. Pain is controllable with the meds the Dr. gave me.

My blood sugar is getting kind of low so now I am taking half a dose. My sugar is below 105 every time I check. This sleeve thing is pretty darn good!!!

Wow...  Tomorrow and then the next day...  Thinking...  Lots of thinking going on...  Get up on Tuesday Morning and then head on down to the border and meet my driver.  go and check in to the hospital.  Wow...  It is really happening...

Well, the appointment went fine.  Aside from the commute to San Pedro from San Diego, it went fine.

I met Dr. Owens and he seemed to think that for someone of my size and stature a VSG would be the way to go.  He even mentioned that it's easier to perform on taller folks.

I go Tuesday and they complete all the pre-op necessities in the morning and perform the surgery around noon.  So Tuesday afternoon it will be so long tummy its been fun...

Well, tomorrow's one of the big days. I go to visit the Dr. for the first time. I've been on liquids for the most part for about a week and a half. I sort of slipped over the weekend and am getting back on track. That liquid diet is a killer.

I'll update my blog after tomorrow's appointment

IJ...

Well, this is the third day of my pre-op diet.  It looks like I've lost about 7 pounds.  I'm wondering what happens if I lose too much weight...  Will they not operate?  That's about the only real worry I have.  I am moving along with my shakes.  They get kind of tiresome but, overall it seems to be tolerable.  I did slip last night and had a bowl of soup that equalled about 220 calories.  It was chicken noodle soup from Progresso.  I had about 200 -250 calories to go before I maxed out on calories so I went for it.

I am really ready for that magic day to be here...  Especially if I can get some awesome results on my blood sugar, cholesterol, and hypertension...

Well, today I have started my pre-op diet.  Supposed to be liquids for 2 weeks.  So far this morning it's been pretty easy.  I'm sure that as the day goes on I'll be ready to pig-out!!!  It kind of sucks to watch all my co-workers leave to eat lunch...  I can't.  Iguess I'll just have to get used to it.

My wife is extremely supportive.  She has had the RNY surgery and is helping me to get the right vitamins and protein...

Surgery is on the 22nd of April...  It seems so far away but I bet the time will fly!

Oh yeah, my weight this morning was 247.  It got to 250 this past weekend I guess I lost a couple.
