update Sunday nov 6

Well, today my mother would be 70 yrs old.  She died primarily from lung cancer (as a several decade smoker) in 1999.  However, obesity was certainly a contributor to her overall poor health.

I weighed in at 309.4 lb this morning.  Some stats:
 lb lost     period                            days elapsed       loss rate (lb/day)  
 25.0      during preop period                  18                   1.389
 32.6      since surgery lost                    40                   0.815
 57.6      total weight loss                      58                   0.993  

So, weight status aside, post op is going ok.  Keeping fairly compliant with supplements.  No major GI issues (stinky poo occasionally).  Eating continues to get easier.  Probably eaten a few more carbs than I should.  I have consumed carbs with minimal bad affects..which is kind of a double edged sword.  As an example, today I had a 2x2x2 from IHOP...ate 2 scrambled eggs, 1.5 pieces of bacon, and half of one pancake with syrup.  Howver, still prioritizing protein (target 90g a day) over anything else.

Having my ~7 week post op checkup with Dr Garth on the 15th (so about 9 days from now).  At that time they will draw my labs and I'll be able to find out how my supplements are doing.
