Everything is back to normal as far as I can tell. I'm back to the routine I had a couple of weeks before surgery. The weight loss has settled down to a slower pace having introduced more liquids and 3 meals a day. I could actually get by on 2 meals a day (bout 6 oz each), but I notice the difference in energy when I don't get enough protein. I haven't had any problems yet with eating a variety of meats, chewed very well of course. Turkey, fish and chicken have been going down good. I had read other blogs where some people had a hard time with chicken. If it's dry, I stay away from it.
It's nice to be able to fit into everything that is in my closet now. Although I can't see the weight loss in the mirror, it shows in clothes. Some stuff has been on hangars so long it has become vintage.
At 6 weeks post-op (Oct 26th), I go back for a visit with Dr. Woodman. He'll check over everything and determine if I'need a fill. I'm assuming that will be based on my feedback about hunger patterns. Although I haven't had any problems with hunger yet, I feel like that is on the horizon.
Today, my weight is 296.0

We wish we had your "WILL" power!! Awesome, Brother. Have you given up meat altogether? Deer meat is very lean and so is dog.
