Well four weeks out today and still on soft foods I went away with the family for the weekend to Mystic, CT. Finding foods was challenging but not impossible. The first day for lunch we went to a restaurant where I had a turkey sandwich and just ate the turkey off of the sandwich. 

For dinner we went to a restaurant and I had a bit of salmon that looked like I barely touched it, since I was in a hotel I didnt take it home with me. The waitress asked me if everything was ok and I said it was great but I had surgery and am limited. 

Breakfast in the hotel I had some scrambled egg, for lunch I had a diner chicken salad sandwich that I picked off the chicken salad and had a side of cottage cheese which worked fine. 

Dinner was a bit of an issue in the fact that I didnt get to eat until about 8:30pm which is late. I meant to have a protein shake on the ferry but I forgot my backpack in the car and couldnt get back to it as I couldnt open my trunk of my SUV without hitting the car in back of me........ I did have plenty of water during the days and on the boat as well. Dinner was a diner tuna salad platter. 

Other than the high amounts of mayo (and bits of celery and onion), I think I did ok for the weekend. 

Well the Fourth was the one week sleevaversary for me, so there was no partaking in BBQ eating, but I attended two BBQ's. I walked past a loaded grill and announced "I lay claim to none of this", or asking if it came in Protein Shake format :). 

I had a great time at both parties and enjoyed watching fireworks from one of them. All in all a great fourth and I look forward to the next one :).

Well the day is here. 12 hours from now I should be under anesthesia and on my way to a new me (Not that I havent been losing weight already). Anyway I can hardly wait to get this over with at this point. Talk to you folks from "The other side..."

I just got my Primary Physicians clearance today. Just ahve one more appointment with the Surgeon and then it is off to get it done on Monday. After starting this process in April of 2015, it seems like (and has been) forever to get to this point. But the day is almost upon me. One that will be remembered for the rest of my life. I cannot wait. 

started the liquid diet his week as per doc. I really just want the time to pass as quickly as possible and have this done. In 6 days I've lost 20.2 pounds. Can't wait to have the surgery.
