So far so good 1/15 on January 15, 2008 2:43 am
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 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.

Still going strong on December 7, 2007 3:22 am
I don't know if anyone really reads this stuff, but it has been a pretty good week. Went to the doc for weigh in to make sure the liquid diet is working. All systems are go. I have stuck pretty good to the liquid diet. I have cheated two times, but it was so minimal. Twice, I ate one inch off a slice of Swiss Cheese. I LOVE Swiss Cheese. Anyway, I have lost 22 lbs as of yesterday (12/6).
I weighed myself when I first started this diet and weighed 359.5, Yesterday I was 337.5. That is remarkable in itself.

I am well on my way to making the big step. The only pre-op thing I have left is my endoscopy. Then I can set the date. I was looking at Dec 13, but for family reasons I may request Dec 11. Dr Matin is my doctor and I know he does his surgeries on Tuesday and Thursday.
