My Weight Loss so far

So far I have lost a total of 80 pounds. WOOHOO! I lost 50 pounds as of the morning of my surgery. I lost a total of 30 pounds in 31 days. I lost 7 pounds the 4 days prior to surgery, so a total of 38 since September 15th.

My first dinner with my family.

Last night I made dinner for my family. I made lemon pepper chicken, gorgonzola mashed potatoes and corn. It was the first meal we had together. It was really nice to sit down and eat with my guys. :) I only ate the mashed potatoes but it was nice just the same. Next week I have more soft foods so I am going to try some ground meat dishes.

One month later....

It has been 37 days now since my surgery. I am now able to eat soft foods. YAH! Refried beans never tasted so good. I still drink at least 2 protein shakes a day. I have found that if I don't get a minimum of 30 grams of protein I feel sick. I will get dizzy, and weak and feel generally bad. I have protein shakes for breakfast and for lunch. I have soup or soft foods in the evening. :)

My Journey

On October 20th I had Gastric Bypass surgery. This page is about my journey and hopefully my great success!
