Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to post that everything is going good.  So far I haven't had any dumping issues, I am pretty scared to try new foods.  I have been sticking to what I know works.  My pcp took me off my blood pressure, cholesterol, and lowered my diabetes medicine.  I am so excited, I will be more then happy when I am off all the meds.   

My weight lose has been pretty steady I am on some weird pattern, two days nothing third day 1-2lbs.  I guess my body has it's own system.  I am down to 205.4lbs as of this morning.  I have never lost weight this fast before.  I am doing good with the protein but I am having trouble getting my fluids in.  I have to remind my self to drink and eat, I have like 15 alarms on my phone telling me to stop drinking 30 Min's before I am supposed to eat, start eating and start drinking again 30 Min's after my meal.  My phone is constantly buzzing.  I am probably driving my coworkers crazy. 

I never believed people when they were saying they don't get hungry any more.  I haven't been hungry since I had surgery....craziness.  I had my follow up with the surgeon and he said I was doing great, just keep doing what I'm doing.  I have been getting really crazy about measuring my food, I won't eat anything unless it is premeasured.  I really hate to throw up so I am avoiding it as best as possible.  I had some problems with left overs...probably too dry.  But other then that everything is great.

I will post some pictures soon.
