AND surprised after eating at Cheesecake factory last night.
Enjoyed some Bang Bang Chicken and Shrimp and 1/2 piece of white chocolate macadamia caramel cheesecake.

Today has been a very "poopie" with AM and afternoon visits to the bathroom.

The Blue Bunny Peanut Butter Ice Cream with chocolate swirls is 19 grams of carbs and 4 grams of protein for 1/2 cup serving.

I thought that would be a nice treat to try. It was and I suffered zero side effects...other than losing 2 pounds the next morning.

Today, I love my DS! First time I can say this!
I walked all over today with Sophia. Really kept up without suffering while out in the heat today. That was a new thing!

I went swimming yesterday. That was great.
I went to cheese cake factory and had the chicken from bang bang chicken and shrimp plus 1/4 of a piece of Macadamia caramel cheesecake. My daughter had some too. I was able to bring more than 1/2 a slice back too!

GREAT 2 MONTH ANNIVERSARY FROM HOSPITAL RELEASE!
I LOVE MY D.S.

MINUS 64.2 POUNDS!!! 

BMI 42.3!

The Scale is Moving and I have 2 days till my 2 month anniversary for release from hospital.
62.5 LUBS LOST.

61.2 lbs lost since Hospital release date. 2 month anniversary, 8-23-2008
I took a few days off of fit day. I put almost soley protein in my mouth and only eat what I can. I do feel like I need to increase the amount a little bit.
But, I realized:

I am not eating a ton...just to get to a certain level.

It was always said on the board to get to 60 by 60 days, 90 by 90 days on grams of protein. I was almost to 90 grams when I was logging food on fitday. Also, my calories were 1000 plus. My carbs, were always on the appropriate level of 50..sometimes a few over. For, NET carbs.
Then, I started to think about what Dr. Simper emphasized last time I saw him. This surgery is because you have excess weight you can live off of and need to lose.

I thought, this surgery is not a physically made diet plan. I make the diet plan. This is to starve me to thin. I will still try and feed my body everything it needs, but the reality of the sitiuation is...
I am not supposed to try and eat like a normal person by month two.
Nice for those who can, but I got this surgery to lose weight and fast.
I can eat more later, after goal, when the DS keeps me on track with my weight through the malabsorptive phase.

PROTEIN and VITAMINS ARE MOST IMPORTANT...and water/liquids.

Discussion on Forum regarding Excess Weight Loss Goals and percentages lost.
Found it interesting since I just passed up my 2 month anniversary.
Presently, I weighed in at 283.5.
I have lost 59 pounds (I presently bounce between  59 and 60 lbs. STALL).
I am almost at a 40% Excess Weight Loss.
That is kind of a nice warm and fuzzy for me, enduring the stall.
I have decided not to get on the scale for the rest of the month.
I will weigh in on August 24, which coincedes with the anniversary   of my release from the hospital and the weight of 342.5.
Then we will see...I am sure it will not have changed, yet. LOL.

 

Anyways, here is the analysis from the post that suggested the weight loss.
