    Thursday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Still more progress
on January 25, 2008 8:21 pm
Here it is 1/25 and I am still going in the right direction.  I am under 300, actually 295.5 today.  Wow!  64.5 lbs in less than 2 months.  I wouldn't believe it if it wasn't me.  

Eating good lately.  Really, since I have been permitted to eat.  Yesterday had steak at Bennigans.  I am not sure if I will go the steak route again for a while.  It sat a little heavy, but still was not a problem.  I had Rainbow Trout at Red Lobster the other night.  That was great.

It was nice to go to the hockey game last night and not feel crushed in my seat.

Been doing a lot of reading on OH TMB.  I started a thread called THE NIGHT WATCHMAN, because I am up all night.  I did it to sort of ease the load on David for prayer requests.  We can both publish lists, if someone appears on both, so be it.  Double prayers never hurt anyone.  I also use it as a place for people to drop in and say goodnight when they are logging off the computer.  And, I try to carry on conversations from work with anyone who wants.  I can't use chat at work, but I can use the discussion board.

So far so good 1/15

I was down to 301.5  today.  I am getting close to that 300 mark.  I can't tell you when the last time I weighed less than 300 was.

Ate out at Chili's Sunday night.  Monterrey Chicken and Lime Seasoned Shrimp.  The chicken was fine, but the shrimp too a lot of chewing.  And still really wasn't ready to be swallowed.  But I did get plenty to eat for the next couple of days.

Next week we are going to Red Lobster.  I will have fish instead of shrimp.

Doing fine without protein supplements.  Using Atkins Advantage, 2 cans every night (30 gms protein).  

Also, still doing decent with the water.  Drink 3 seventeen oz bottles a day.

It has been a while since I updated this

It has been a wonderful ride.  I ended up losing 20+ pounds before the surgery.  I weighed 334 on the morning of the surgery.  I have lost another 32 lbs since then.  I am down to 308 as I type this.  I am so amazed.  According to Mary, I have stopped snoring.  Also, when I walk up the stairs at work, my knees no longer are killing me when I reach the top.

Foodwise, I am eating a bunch of stuff.  I stopped the protein supplement because I am eating so much protein.  I have been having a turkey omelot for breakfast every morning (1 egg).  Then I have been having turkey or chicken for lunch and supper every day.  I am the type of guy who does not get sick of eating the same thing everyday.  This weekend I will be trying beef for the first time.  So far my favorite is the shrimp I put through the Bullet with a tablespoon and a half of marinara sauce.

I am so thankful that I have had this surgery.  And this is just the beginning.
