About this user

Hi everyone, I am about a week or so over my 7 month surgery date on July 27th, 2009. Everything is going really good for me. I started out last January at 430 pounds. The day of my surgery I was 387 pounds and today I weigh 257 pounds.

I have two sets of measurements from the surgeons office.

May 20th, 2009:

Weight: 414 pounds
Wrist: 8.5 inches
Waist: 56 inches
Hips: 62 inches
BMI: 53.22

Jan 20th, 2010:

Weight: 268 pounds
Wrist: 7 inches
Waist: 44 inches
Hips: 49 inches
BMI: 34.41

I have been exercising and going for snow shoe walks however it has been infrequent. I have been trying to get better with that and be more consistant but when I do go to the gym it is so much easier than before.

What am I eating now? I can pretty much eat anything I want. I don't eat pasta or rice yet cause I am not supposed to. I don't eat too much breads yet cause they really fill me up so I try to avoid them. I have been eating quite a bit of healthy choice frozen meals at work. Other things I am eating are chicken, steak, salads, chili, and even some mexican take out food ( get the small size and it is pretty healthy).

I have been doing a really good job staying away from the bad foods. Occasionaly I will have a piece of pizza. I do drink coffee now. I have had a few diet mountain dews which I probably should stay away from. I have also been addicted to these big cookies at the local gas station. I had three of them at work today so I need to do a better job of not snacking on them.

I believe that it is ok to eat like a normal person which includes having a piece of cake or some potato chips from time to time as long as it is in moderation and not done everyday. I do need to quit the cookies though.

The hardest thing for me is probably still getting enough fluids in. I don't have a problem drinking fluids at all but for some reason don't as much as I should. I still buy the protein powder but I don't use it every day like I should. I do eat protein bars from Walmart but not everyday.

I still take my flinstone multi-vitamin twice daily, a vitamin D pill, prevacid, b12 sublingual every day when I don't forget lol. I don't take my calcium every day but should. I do drink a lot of skim milk though which does help a little.

Another issue I have had has been not eating enough during the day. I need to work on getting in enough small meals in because sometimes I feel that I am not getting all of my required calories. At least my blood work is still coming back good.

Well, just wanted to give some updates. I will post some pics soon. If you want to comment on my good and bad please feel free too. :)
