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.
