I turned out to be a beautiful weekend. Friday night it stormed all night, causing our soccer games to be cancelled on Saturday, which meant...FREE DAY! We were lazy for most of the day, and then I went to the gym late Saturday afternoon. I actually enjoyed being on the treadmill. I did 2 miles in 40 minutes. That's pretty dang fast for an out of shape fat guy.
Sunday was High School Senior Sunday at our church. I'm in charge of coordinating this. I was pretty excited because the suit I haven't worn in years, fit nicely; and the shirt I used to love to wear didn't strangle me at the collar. I got lots of comments on how nice I looked. I felt good.
Then today, Monday, I went in for my 2nd post-op appointment. I got on the scales first thing, drum roll please.........I am down 41 lbs since I started all of this. I was and am pretty amazed. Then to top it all off they moved me to phase III of the bariatric diet, so for lunch today I had a grilled chicken breast with onion, mushrooms, & green peppers sauted on top, finished with a little mozzarella cheese. It was very good.
My band is working. Not that I didn't think it would - I just don't have lots of positive weight loss experiences to look back on.
Onward,
Marc
