     6 weeks!!! I'm healed!!! So why does my tummy hurt when I eat?( I eat too fast and swallow a lot of air?)
 I started at 260 on Aug 31st and am hovering at 242.  Works out to 3 pounds per week, or about a half pound per day.
If I drank more water I think I could lose faster, but this is fast enough.  My new tummy feels best when it is empty so I  have 
to carefully plan to eat.  I tend to be on the road a lot, so I am unfortunately still going to drive thru restaurants.  El Pollo Loco chicken breast a la cart, is my most common.  In n Out burger "protein style"(sans the bun). I ask for a glass of ice and put my low carb slimfast protein on the ice and it tastes like a chocolate shake and a burger!
Wendy's Chili, and McDonald's
wrap without the wrap.  If I eat too much or the wrong thing my tummy lets me know right away! My favorite is warm soup.
Have to be careful of salt, supposed to stay around 1800 mg salt per day.  The best part is that I feel lighter and better and clearer altogether.  My blood pressure is better, I am allowed to eliminate one BP med per month, if the BP readings are stable at 120/80.
