Not one minute of regret. 

I did have my very first real problem with food yesterday.  I made beef fajitas and ate about half of one.  About 15 minutes after I was done eating, I was experiencing pretty sever uncomfortableness,  After another 10 minutes or so, I had the dreaded foamies and soon realized I could not keep the food down.  First time since surgery that I actually had to regurgitate something I ate.  Not sure if it was the beef, the tortilla or maybe the jalapeno, but something didn't sit well with me.  Otherwise, I have had uncomfortableness and some pain after eating the wrong thing a few times though really not very often.  That type of episode is always accompanied by the foamies, but I've always gotten through it with little real discomfort.  Not so yesterday.

Otherwise things are going very well.  I am down to size 44 pants (from 52) and really could be in a 42 in jeans.  I have lost over half the weight I need to lose to meet goal.  Back in February I was at my highest weight that I ever saw...348.6 lbs.  Today I am 266.1 lbs.  I have lost 82.5 lbs and have "only" 81.1 lbs to go.  Big WOW moment for me.

I am scheduled to have my 3 month Dr. appt on Thursday where they will discuss the results of my first post-op blood screening.  Hopefully all is well.  I have noticed I have lost a tremendous amount of muscle mass as well as fat, but my strength doesn't appear to be affected too much.  I NEED to start working out though.  Other than walking almost everyday and doing things around the house, I get little exercise.  Need to work on changing that.
