The Friday Photo Post

Apr 15, 2011

It's Friday and I posted a new photo. My wife comented that I was wearing the same outfit every Friday, so I started changing up a little. I also changed my profile picture. I cropped this from a picture that was taken at the Pacific Ocean during our vacation over the Christmas holidays. I'm amazed by the change when looking at this photo vs. the last one taken. I definitely can see the difference in the face and stomach area. When looking at the difference week to week it's hard to tell the difference.

I just got back from a business trip to our firm's Disaster Recovery site in Ohio. This was my first trip after getting banded. I was grateful that I'm no longer on the puree diet. I had scrambled eggs and bacon for breakfast. Eating bacon again was very enjoyable. For lunch, I tried some Japanese food at a Habachi resturant. I couldn't eat everything, but I ordered Salmon and fried rice. I tried a few fork fulls of the salad, which was very good. The rice was a welcome treat since I hadn't had carbs since before the surgery. I had a Filet Mignon and salad for dinner, very yummy. Breakfast on consisted of a cheese omlet and a side of bacon. I ate all the bacon and half the omlet. I had a slice of pizza with a side salad at Sbarro's for lunch. I ate all the salad and picked at the pizza. Basically, I ate the meat off of it and the some of the crust. I really don't want to talk about dinner becase I was really bad. I was running late and didn't get to eat at a sit down resturant. I arrived at the airport about 1 hour before my flight and after getting through security I had about 40 minutes before boarding to get some dinner.  The only resturant in the terminal was Johnny Rocket's so I decided on a patty melt.  Honestly, I should have had the salad, but I saw someone with one and it didn't look good.  Any how, I wanted to only eat half the sandwich, but as the Alka-Seltzer commercial said "I can't believe I ate the whole thing!" It  wasn't too bad. I wasn't too ful, but I was fuller than I wanted to be. I also killed my carbs yesterday. Way too much bread.

I'm back home and went back to my routine. Omlet for breakfast, small salad for lunch, and a small portion of whatever my wife cooks for dinner.
