Just about a month out...

Feb 09, 2009

I am just about a month out and weighted in tonight at the facility where I was doing the Optifast program. I'm down 24 lbs since surgery!! A total of 148 lbs since I started this journey to a new healthier, sexier...ok healthier Rob.  Hard to believe that back in June that I would be down this amount of weight in 8 months. It goes to show that if you really put your mind to it, IT can be done. I can't begin to thank all the friends I have made on here...all the love and support has been amazing. Since leaving the hospital...I no longer need my Type 2 meds, HBP meds or had to use my Bi-Pap machine to sleep!!  Just this alone has made me feel tremendous.  I have been able to keep everything down so far with out a problem....I am able to get 75 oz of water in a day as well. I did try a little steak yesterday which didn't work so well...but I was smart enough to throw in the white towel and realize that I am too soon out without getting sick...Steak you may have won this round...but I'll be BACK!!!   :)

I wanted to get some thoughts down as my first month comes to an end....so a yr from now when I read this I will be like oh yeah...I remember having a problem with steak back then...   I am fairly new to this so if any newbs out there have a question about Optifast or how I approached certain ways of geting my protein...please feel free to contact me!!
