For those you following along: my wife, jenny, and I are still separated since just before my VSG Oct 8, but hopefully we are moving closer to reconciling. It was really good to see her tonight. The kids were pretty still distant. Sure it is awkward for them. Just wanted to ask u to keep us in your thoughts. Thanks in advance.

And 4 notches on my belt since I started this

Down 4 lbs this week! Yes!

Surgery 10/08. Including pre op down 50. Feel much better. Cleared for regular food as i tolerate. Seems much easier now. Maybe less hunger, I drink water of make myself wait. I did not at first. I was afraid of getting hungry idk. Certainly more restriction. Been walking, joined a gym this week. Still tired at times. Need more sleep.

What is a HEB?

Just wanted to share today is my one month post op anniversary. I am down exactly 50 lbs today !! What a gift! Spent the evening at the beach with good friends. We had grilled salmon and salad. I passed on the garlic bread and carrot cake. Feels great to be "in charge" of my health and making good choices.

Thanks for the chicken cheese idea.

Sometimes Biggest Looser depresses me not inspired me.

I take two Prilosec in am and one Zantac in pm. Helps a lot.

I still love the original Scooby Doo

Proud of u man!

Down two this week finally. Joined the YMCA yesterday afternoon. Looking forward to new workouts.

I had a macho coworker tell me how brave he thought I was for having surgery. Said he could never do it. It was the best compliment I have received in a long time. This is our time.

Ahh shucks . Thank you tally. This is a gift, a second chance! Thanks for your quote.
