Thanks! I haven't updated it in a little while but I posted fairly regular updates at my post here:

But in a nutshell - I've been eating a pretty similar diet ever since I got off pureed foods. Every single morning since the day after my surgery I have scrambled eggs. For the last few months it's two eggs with one ounce of shredded cheese.
I usually get 32 oz of Water in before lunch, I drink most of it during my drive to work.
I eliminated certain things from my diet, including soda (and really all drinks except water); most processed sugars, rice, potatoes, bread, Pasta.
Lunch might be some sort of leftovers from home, or a tuna or chicken salad. I can stomach about 5-6 oz of food per meal. For a few days the other week I decided to add some cold cuts to my diet so I got some nice sliced ham, turkey and cheese and made little rollups for a couple of days and dipped them in mustard. I did 2 oz of each and it was great. This week I'm eating barbecued ribs I made in an electric pressure cooker, I made enough for 4 or 5 days and just bring one in and microwave it.
dinner might be similar to lunch, although I do try to be more "dinner like". I might have a sausage or two, I love the bacon and cheddar sausages from BJ's. I will either have two and that's my whole dinner (and really fills me up), or just one plus some roasted brussels sprouts. Tonight my daughters wanted to eat out so we went to Wendy's and I had a small chili. I sometimes make zoodles (zucchini noodles) and have that with chicken and some pesto, it's great.
I have totally eliminated Snacks from my diet. Some folks at work have little bowls on their desk with candy and chocolate, etc, I used to graze on it constantly. Now I never touch it, not even one hershey's kiss (and they do look good!)
If I'm hungry between meals I'll have a greek yogurt (I love the Dannon's light and fit boston cream pie flavor), and recently I started having 1 oz of almonds every so often. For dessert I almost always have a Jello sugar-free chocolate pudding and a few pops, either sugar free ice pops or sugar free fudge pops.
My daily caloric intake is usually about 1100, sometimes a little more. The most important macro, for me, to keep low is my carbs. I don't really care as much about the calories or fat.
Exercise - right now I'm in the middle of something at work which consumes my entire day, but ordinarily I go to a planet fitness near my office 2-3 times a week at lunch time to do the circuit training, and a few times a week I go to the planet fitness near my house at night and do the bike for an hour.
I've been extremely lucky - no stalls. I weigh myself daily in the morning and have noticed, every so often, that I stay the same for a couple of days in a row, or even go up a fraction for maybe a day or two, but always start heading back down.
Twice I've been bad. On my birthday I ate some ice cream cake and on my niece's birthday I had cake. I regretted it both times, felt really yucky and sluggish. Although if I recall correctly I lost weight the next day both times. Maybe the sugar shocked my body into boosting my metabolism (but I wouldn't recommend it).
Good luck!

Got some great news from the scale this morning, I'm officially down 100.4 pounds from my starting weight of 314.6 on 12/7/16. That was the date I started my pre-surgery diet, and my surgery date was 12/21/16. I never dreamed it would work out so well. So close to my ultimate goal, but this was an unofficial goal for two reasons. First, 100 pounds just sounds nice Second, when I did Weight Watchers about 10 years ago, the lowest I ever got was 214, so I wanted to get there again. Before that, I can't even remember the last time I was so low, maybe 25 years ago. Anyway, just wanted to share!

Please share what you've been doing for diet and exercise. You've done so well!

Great job!! Congrats.
This op really seems to work. I'm just 10 days post op and on the liquid diet still but I've lost 20lbs already from the morning of the op! I'm sure this will slow somewhat as I get onto purée then doled good again but it's sure as heck a good start!

Fantastic! Great job.
You're about 20 days after my surgery date and about 20 pounds ahead of me in total. Wow!!! and I thought I was doing well! Awesome!
I'd like to know what you are doing differently than me. Not that everybody's body Is the same, but I'm hoping that I'm not doing something wrong!
What have you been doing for diet and working out?
also, did you have any stalls?

Wow, this is more than malpractice, it's fraud, possibly criminal. Speak with an attorney and see if they think you should report to the police or at the VERY least the local medical licensing authority.

OK so I tried the zoodles again today with a new recipe. I had them cold this time, no salt. I spiralized a zucchini, mixed in 3.5 oz of chicken, and 60 grams of basil pesto sauce and ate it cold.
AMAZING!
It was absolutely delicious and totally filling. Looking forward to having it again soon.

Wow, I haven't posted here in almost two weeks! I'm still here and kicking. Things are continuing to go very well, the scale continues to give good numbers so that's great.
I "cheated" a little bit last week. It was my sister's birthday and I decided to have most of a piece of cake and two Cookies. Didn't sit well with me later. I didn't get sick or anything, just felt yucky and sluggish so, lesson learned.
Also I think my taste buds are totally changing. Went out to eat lunch today, which I've only done once or twice since surgery. Went to Buffalo Wild Wings to try their "Naked Tenders" which are basically grilled chicken tenders. I chose the Honey BBQ Sauce which I've had a million times and is not at all spicy. This time I could barely eat it. WAY too spicy, and didn't taste very good. My friend tried a bite and said it's definitely not spicy, so it's just me. Anyone else notice more a sensitivity to "spicy" foods?
Also, a little self-promotion if that's OK, I hope it's not against the rules. My wife and I have signed up to walk 39 miles in two days as part of the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade. Our team has pledged to raise at least $3,600 to help fight this disease. If you can spare any amount, your tax-deductible donation help support the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade's goal in fighting breast cancer. You can donate - or sign up to walk too! - here -> http://www.avonwalk.org/goto/teamk-rock
Thanks!

Been away for too long! Everything is going great, hit some milestones. One I hit today - I'm down over 66 lbs in two and a half months. When I did Weight Watchers about 9 years ago, it took me about 9 or 10 months to lose the same amount - and then I put it all back on and then some No chance of that happening now though!
Also some non-scale victories. The big one - I can wear my wedding ring again! I had to stop wearing it for a long time, it just got too tight! Started wearing it again a few days ago, feels good.
Also cool - i have about 8 suits I rotate through for work. Before surgery, I was down to three I could wear, the rest were too small. And the three were getting a little tight too. Now, I wear all of them. The original three are way too big and I had to get them tailored. The other five are starting to get loose, going to need tailoring soon. That's a welcome expense, especially with what I'm saving on food.
Tonight I saw a recipe on Facebook I had to try, and I made a GRILLED cheese SANDWICH with cauliflower toast for bread, and turkey bacon. The toast wasn't as crunchy as I would have like, but not bad at all! I could actually only eat half, saving the rest for tomorrow. I'm attaching a pic for your enjoyment. Hope everyone is well!
