Day 47

I have lost 50 pounds.. On December 15th, I weighed 355 pounds.  Today I weigh 305 pounds.  I continue to exercise daily and continue to take my recommended vitamins and keep up with my protein intake.  I still drink two GNC lean shakes a day.  On December 15th, I wore a waist size of 54 pants.  I now wear a slightly loose 50 and a comfortable 48.  In shirts, depending on brand, I was wearing anything from a 4XLT to a 5XL.  Now I am wearing a 3XLT fairly loosely and last night I bought a 2XLT fleece hoodie.  It feels so amazing to shed these pounds.  I have noticed that sometimes my weight will go up slightly by about 0.4-0.8 lbs in a 24 hour period but then I usually see a 1.0 to a 1.6 pound loss in the next 24-48 hours.  Well, until next time folks!

Day 36

Today is the first day of Stage 6 of my diet otherwise known as regular diet.  My only remaining restrictions on food is heavy meats like steak and pork chop.  I also started back at EKU for my final semester yesterday and it was a bit rewarding.  People that remember me from last semester prior to my surgery noticed a difference.  I even spoke to one person who has a friend he was concerned about who is struggling with obesity.  This whole experience has empowered me to encourage others to seek the help they need if they truly wish to live a healthier longer life.  Other than my Vitamin D levels being a little low, my one month appointment blood panel was fine.  Now that I am back in school and have access to the nice gym on campus, I only expect to continue to dropping the weight in regular fashion.  I warned all my instructors that I am not sick or have some sort of illness but to expect me to continue to look different as the semester wears on.  I have officially dropped 45 pounds as my weight now stands at an even 310 pounds.  Until next time friends.

Day 28

Well Eating foods like canned tuna has been a refreshing change from just soft non meat foods.. Only two more days before I can eat meats like chicken and ground up hamburger.. Today is a milestone for me since I have officially lost 40 pounds or 25% of the total weight I intend to lose. On the 14th  I will be going to Dr. Smith's office in Georgetown for my one month appointment check up and labs.  I suspect he will be very pleased with my weight loss progress.   Id like to thank all that care to view this blog and hope that you will continue to do so in the future.  My official weight as of this morning comes to 314.5 which is a total loss of 40.5 lbs.  Until next time!

Day 24

I have now lost 37 pounds.  I began to eat flakey fish meat like canned tuna.  My weight now is 318.0 lbs. 

Day 20

Well today has been like most days as of late.. I still wake up and eat some scrambled eggs and soft boiled potatoes.  Then I have my GNC Lean Shake.  I take my vitamins, go to Ravenna's park and go walking for around 45 minutes to an hour straight..  Drinking water throughout the whole day.  I then eat something like applesauce or even some cottage cheese, Drink another Lean Shake.  Then go to bed.  My latest weight comes in at 321.8 which brings my total weight loss to 33.2 lbs.  See you next time!

Day 18
