Hi OH!  I'm still hanging on.  Weighed in at 262.2 pounds on 3-26-14.  I'm thinking about getting into an Overeaters Anomynous meeting.  I'm struggling.   I haven't been making the best food choices.  Not quantity wise of course, but small bag of chips here, muffin there.  This is still a struggle for me.

Wow!  Time sure does fly by.  I'm holding in today @ 269 pounds.  I know, that's only a 2 pound loss from my last entry.  I have made some mistakes.  This is still a process for me.  Just because I had the sleeve surgery does not mean my thinking/approach to food has changed.  I'm really focusing on what my food triggers are and learning how to change my dependence on food for comfort, entertainment, sadness, happiness, anger, etc.  Praise GOD for allowing me to have this surgery.  Just losing over 50 pounds has made such a positive change in the way I feel.  Until next time OH Family!.  Have a Blessed journey! 

Hi Obesity Help Family!  Today 2-24-2014 was my follow up visit with my surgeon and I weighed in today at 269.4 LBS. (that's approximately 51.6 pounds lost which includes the 9 pounds lost during the 2 week pre-op diet).  I'm pretty pleased and I've set a goal to get under 200 pounds by my next birthday.  Wish I could upload some pics, but I'm having problems with this site.  I'll just keep them saved in my camera. 

Well, it wasn't too bad for my first week back to work.  It was only a 4 day week since we had Monday off for Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday.  My boss was also gracious and took me off from receiving any applications for the week.  But starting on Monday, 1-27-14  I'll be back in rotation of receiving ALL work.   I weighed this morning in at 278 pounds on my home scale.  That's not bad for being 5 weeks out today from surgery.

Well, it's time to go back to work.  I'm not really excited.  I don't really feel like all the questions and stares.

I went to my PCP this morning and weighed in at 284 pounds.  I haven't been 284 since 2001.  I'm also officially starting the Soft Food Phase today as well.  I made a one egg omelet with 1 tbsp of cheddar cheese and 1 diced slice of Canadian bacon.  It took me almost 30 minutes to complete. 

Went to my follow up visit with my surgeon today and weighed in at 294 pounds.  Highest recorded weight was 321 lbs, Surgery Weight was 312.   I can't complain.  I'm still in the full liquid phase and each day it's getting easier to get in my protein/fluids. 

Praise God I made it.  Dr. Krause is great.  Minimal pain.  Just having problems getting in all of my liquids.  But each day gets better.

I can't believe the Big Day is tomorrow.  I pray all goes well and I have an uneventful recovery period.  I'm so excited to get my body healthy so that I can start enjoying my life.  Praise God!  I know I can do All things through Christ who gives me strength.   Well I will check in as soon as I'm up to getting on the computer.  See you on the Loser's Bench!

I've been doing pretty well on pre-op diet (4 protein shakes and 1 meal).  Tonite though I had more steak than I should have but did not eat anything off plan.
