What a day!
Well it's been a while since I ve actually posted an update been kinda busy. The weekend of Sept 15th Clint & I took a weekend road trip up north to take pics. We made it to Fairbanks. Overall it was a nice trip except for the rain that started about 1 hour south of Denali National Park on saturday and continued till the trip home when we were about an hour north of Denali Nation Park. All in all I was able to take about 50 pictures. They came out pretty and I have posted some on Picasa so make sure to check them out.
Other then the trip I ve fighting these allergies for about 2 half weeks. Really sucks but seems to be getting slightly better. Also joined a new guild in WOW and so far has been really great. Been able to get into many more 5 mans then what I got into when it was just Soma, Clint, Pel & I.
And the big news!!!!
This morning after I got outta the shower I did my daily ritual of trying on my wedding and IT FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Today was the first time in over 4 years that I have been able to wear the thing. Talk about a great feeling. From what my scales say I have lost 103lbs since the surgery on Aug 1st. Not to damn bad if you ask me. Only down side is it's alotta damn work to keep myself looking so damn good. LOL.
Well I gotta run for now.
Peace

The Alaska State Fair
Well today I took the family and my mother in law to the Alaska state fair. It was fun. A lot better then the last time I went back in 2000 but I believe that's because it was nice to see all the excitement on my kids face in the petting zoo, riding horses or just seeing fair rides for the first time. I will be uploading some some pics to my picasa so just click on the link on the left hand side and you'll see the fair pics I was talking about.
On the weight loss front I am doing pretty good. I haven't been weighed in 1 week but that's no biggie. Last time I was weighed I was 377 so all in all 51Pd's lost. Not half bad. The doc seems to think I will be sub 300 in about 2 months which will KICK ASS. I really want to be able to walk on our treadmill at home it will make this winter so much easier.
Well gotta run. I ll try and make a better effort to update things more often hear. If you do read please leave comments. Good, bad or indifferent I really don't care I would just like to know that people actually read this thing.

Wow it's been along time.
Sorry about the lapse in time between post I truely never ment for almost 2 weeks to go by between blog posts. I will definatly be better at this from here on out.
So recovery has been going pretty good. Pretty much all the emotional stuff like sense of not being able to comply w/ the life changes needed have subsided and I am doing really well. The diet has progressed to mechinical soft foods like tuna fish. Still sucks as I would give my first born to be able to eat baked piece of chicken breast. hehehe. I have been cooking regularly so that Soma has good meals when she's at work. So far I haven't burnt the house down and from what I am told they have been really good.
In the weight loss department last time I heard which was last week Tuesday Aug 14th. I was at 384pds. I go to the doc tomorrow for prescription refills for asthma and some alergy meds so I don't have a stuffy nose while using my cpap machine. One thing w/ loseing so much weight I have already went down 2 pant sizes and 1 shirt size. I almost can fit my wedding ring on which I have not been able to do since 2003. I can't wait to wear that puppy again.
Went back to work Aug 13th. The first week was pretty trying. I found I was really foggy headed. I would be in the middle of something and completely forget what the heck I was doing. Not real good especially considering I have a job interview the 2nd day back. LOL. So far this week even though its only been 1 day I feel much better. Not completely on my A game but ten times better then the week before.
Well it's time for me to end this. I will try and update this sucker 2 or 3 times a week so you can come back more often and hopefully leave me some comments. I'd love to hear from anyone reading these entries.

7 days post
Well it's been 7 days since I went in for surgery. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions and things happening. I go to the doc tomorrow for my 1 week check up and if my scale is anything close to correct I ve probably lost close to 20 pds but I ll update that tomorrow for sure.
Some weird emotions have really came around since surgery. Not sure what has caused them except going through a pretty major change like having your stomach changed from an endless bag of holding to 4 oz tops makes you think some about all the changes you have to make in your life so that can get out of the prison you once were in. These changes are scary for me because well like most humans I am a creature of habit and don't really like change when it comes to the way I live my life. I know it must be done in order for me to be with my family for the longest time possible but it sure doesn't mean I have to like it. This has led me to really rely on my mother during her time here more then she know's. Right now and for a while I will be basically on puraid food and protein shakes with lots and lots of fluids.
Now I can some what cook. You know baked chicken, grilling & pasta noodles but I was worried that since i am not the most profienct cook that having the variety that I may need in order to stick to it with temptation was going to be hard. Since being home I have watched my mother cooked and have come to find out that it doesn't look that hard. That gives me real hope. Not only for me and the puraid diet but going forward when I can eat like a real person and also help make sure there is healthy meals for Soma and the kids seeing as she works later then me.
Well I am getting pretty tired and think I may have rambled a bit. Sorry. I'll try not to do that again.

I farted!!!!
Well surgery was done on Aug 1st. It took about 4 hours to complete but all went well. I was able to come home on the 3rd and since being home I feel much much better. It's surprising what a change of scenry will do for you. I ve been able to slow down on the pain meds and still be good getting around the house though slowly.
Also I was finally able to fart today which is good cause it gets rid of the bloated feeling in my stomach. For breakfast today I had 2 oz of protien shake and 3 meds. Not bad if you ask me.
Well time for me to run.
