Today was the day for my first post op visit with my surgeon. I had my surgery a week ago yesterday.

Today is also the day I get to start on blended food. Wow, the past 10 days of liquids has pushed its limit. It has not been bad, but lets just say I have a wonderful wife.

Now to the important news......drum roll please.

The LBG is down 37lbs, yes thats right 37LBS since his preop consultation when he weighed in at a staggering 434lbs. Weight today was 397lbs.:whoo:

Dr Houston was very pleased with everything but wanted me to be sure to get my protein in. This week was hard enough to get 64oz of fluid in let alone an additional thing of protein.

All in all I am very happy with the progress. I understand I need to take advantage and get it while I can. It should slow down some, but with exercise and low calorie intake I should continue some form of loss.

Thanks for all your help and support during this process.
