New Me and New for Me

Sep 09, 2009

Well, I ususally don't do all this blogging and posting stuff, but I thought it might be a good idea for tracking and maybe to help others.

I had my lap DS surgery on August 17th, with Dr. Stewart in Denton, TX.  My surgery was normal, with gall bladder removed and liver biop.  I had the luxury of seeing my wife go through this before myself, so I kind of knew what to expect.  NOT!!! 

Actually it has not been bad.  I am little tired, and it has been difficult to retrain my body and mind how to eat.  However, overall, it has been good.  I am 3.5 weeks post-op now and I am down 31 pounds.  I'm beginning to feel the difference now a little.

I have already begun eating normal foods again, for the most part, just making sure to eat my protein first.  These protein shakes are getting difficult to get used to.  I actually have some questions about some of that, but will cover more of that later, i think.  lol  However, breads and pastas come last.  But with all he fatty foods and light starches I can eat, it hasn't been as bad as say the atkins diet.  I am beginning to feel like getting out a bit more, and being a little more active.  This will be great.

Right now i am feeling great because I have lost so much in such a short time.  I hope I will be down 100 pounds by Christmas, but it will probably be more like 80.  I at least will be back down in the 200s, which will be the first time in like 15 years to be in that range.

Well, this is getting quite long-winded. 

Bye for now!
