Feeling great

Nov 21, 2011

   I am feeling just about as good as before. I can eat just about anything just smaller amounts. I finally got off pureed and now am on regular still soft foods. I love my homemade chilli. I had my curry shrimp yesterday and it was a little spicy but didn't bother me. I confess that I ate 5 BBQ peanuts the other night and it was fine. I just chew the heck out of everything. I am still not always hungry but think of food as fuel for my body.

For some weird reason I don't feel my fybromyalgia pain and haven't been taking my Lyrica any more. Also my blood pressure is now a normal 120/80 so no more high blood pressure med.

Actually the one bad thing is the flare ups of gout that I keep getting. I take allupurinol twice a day and colchicine when it gets bad but that is one of the side affects of rapid weight loss.

Clothes are getting loose but I don't want to buy anything now. Guess I better get a belt (LOL). Down to 257 lbs from my original start of 334lbs. Lost most of pre surgery weight on a high protein low carb diet. Pre optifast was 287, surgery weight 280. Going slow, but that is ok. I knew it would be due to my mobility issues (still waiting for spine surgery). but any loss is good!
