Anyone who knows where the title comes from will know my fav book of all times!

Banded on March 6th and First Fill on April 4th I must say that I am very pleased with this new start despite a PB or two and one of them being a

"EPGSHFLYADV":

Excrutiatingly Painful Gagging Sliming Heaving Feels Like You're About to Die Vomitation (suggested replacement for PB, by Strawarts)

Considering all this is so new the constant positive results are very rewarding.

I have lost

31.5 lbs in 7 weeks

13.5 lbs in 1 week before WLS

18 lbs in 6 weeks since WLS

and the best of it all is that my glucose level which was high and requiring insulin and lots of meds before surgery has never been better hovering between 4 and 6

[4 to 8 mmol/L (70 to 150 mg/dL)]

Also for the first time in half a century I have been logging every bite and every minute of exercise and I average 1300 Cals and 60 mins of exercise a day.

Still have a long way to go to make it to my ideal weight but the goal seems attainable for the first time in a long time.

Just broke the hunnerd this week (100 Kilos that is, 220 Lbs) Now my next goal is to break the 2 hunnerds 200 lbs that is. Final Goal is 75 Kgs (165 lbs) for a "perfect" BMI of 25.
