3 months post op

Aug 18, 2009

About 2 weeks late getting this out because I just returned from a 3 week motorcycle trip across the country.  So far everything has been going great.  I am down about 83 lbs, from 346 to 263.  I am hoping to hit the 100 lbs lost mark by the end of Sept.  I am still pretty much sticking to the 60 grams of protien/80 ounces of water each day.  I mostly each chicken, fish, cheese, some pork, protein shakes and protein bars.  Every now and then I eat a treat like ice cream or a cookie or something, but it's never nearly as much as it used to be, so the sleeve does it's job.  Up until the motorcycle trip, I was working out/swimming/playing tennis at least 4 to 5 times a week.  During the 3 weeks trip I was doing a lot of walking, but didn't get nearly enough exercise.  I still managed to lose 10 lbs.  

About the trip:  3 weeks, 7798 miles, 18 states, highest elevation (7200' New Mexico), lowest elevation (0' sea level Ft. Lauderdale), coolest road (Tail of the Dragon US129 at Deals Gap NC 318 curves in 11 miles), most miles in a day (617)
