Good morning, all, and thank you for the welcome messages last week.
One of the many items on my pre-surgery list was to get the sun damage on my face treated. I have been applying a dermatology cream to treat it and my right cheek looks like somebody took a belt sander to it.
Happily, my last application was Thursday and I am hoping to start healing this week.

Another week in the right direction. I think I'm eating a little better, and for sure I'm getting more activity. My legs are pretty sore after the two big bike rides last week, and next weekend I have my 150 mile ride so I need to recover as best as I can this week.
Summer started in full swing this week. We had our first 100 degree day since 2011 on Memorial Day. Looking at the weather this week, its going to be fantastic for early June. Time to get outside, and load up on vitamin D.
Have a great week.
I'm in the same boat as you......In month 3 of my pre-op weight loss program. Welcome aboard. Looking at VSG in the fall (October/November).I've lost 33 lbs. since February. I find posting my weight here is very motivating to me.
Start of 6 month pre-op diet (2/14): 320 lbs.
5/20: 291 lbs
5/29: 287 lbs
Food: C- Family was in town and wanted to eat out every meal. They also wanted to visit breweries. Bad combination but I stayed strong at most meals
Water: B ( or A , if you coun****ered down lite beer.....LOL)
Vitamins: B - Ned to get supplemental vitamin D
Exercise: C Only made it to the gym twice, but I got a lot of steps in most days.
Hi All.
I thought i posted last week, but i created a blog entry instead. Fortunately, it didn't end up on the bottom of the home page. I am still not certain I am doing this correctly.
I am going to have RNY sometime in late summer. For now I am going through my six month pre-op program and trying to develop good habits.

I'll take it! Wonky schedule has it benefits. Next two weeks have straight evenings so no back and forth. Given the new guy to finish since we have to get him out on his own. We lost another one to a larger department. In a six man operation when one goes it causes issues. When you're two down - you have ISSUES! Guy that is leaving is on a well planned in advance Alaskan cruise with his Mrs. Leaves working for us. Comes back working for them!
Headed to triple digits here by next weekend. Felt like triple digits yesterday walking around the local car show. When you feel the sweat running down your legs under your pants and the waist band on pants is soaked - you're hot.
Have a Great Memorial Day Weekend and remember those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for YOUR freedom!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

A good week, even though it was not reflected on the scale this morning.
Enjoying the decent weather and the much needed yardwork.
The flag is up and waiving in the breeze in remembrance of our fallen.
Peace to all.

Please take some time this weekend to remember all those who gave their lives so we can enjoy the freedoms we seem to take for granted every day.
I wish I could chalk my weight loss to clean living, but frankly I have no idea why I dropped two pounds. I was able to bike about 55 miles, and take a couple spin classes, but I doubt that would have countered my eating. I'm not looking a gifthorse in the mouth. Here's to another good week.
We skipped spring this year. A month and a half ago, we had a foot of new snow, and three weeks ago the lakes were still frozen. This weekend, we are well over 90 degrees, and tomorrow we are looking at the hottest memorial day in 50 years with heat index of 100 degrees or more. It makes outdoor activities a little unsafe. If you're in a hot area, make sure you're staying hydrated.
Have a happy and safe weekend.
Good morning men. It is a somber weekend and rightly so. Many of our fellow Americans will be carrying on for the "first weekend of summer" with wild abandon, oblivious to the cost of their freedom. We are not in that crowd here in our household. I have to attend my brother-in-law's 60th birthday celebration today, but eating his wife?s cooking will cast a pall on any jocularity there.

I've been hitting the numbers right on for weigh in day for weeks now. I got all the way down to 261 this week. It?s been a real mix of weather and activity. The coming week holds lots of riding for me - in the car. I don?t know how much cycling I will get in.
I hope you all have a good weekend and a great week!
