Hello Everyone. Just thought I would post an update on my progress since RNY at Vandy on 11/11/2008.
Starting weight was 313 lbs.
Weight at RNY was 278.
Weight at 30 day post op doctor visit 12/15/08 was 259.
Weight yesterday was 229.
I go back for a three month visit on 2/5/09.
Typical day of food for me now is:
Breakfast - 3/4 to 1 egg, over easy
                     1 piece of bacon
Snack       - 1 serving skim milk
                     1 carnation instant breakfast
Dinner      - 1 can soup to go (usually tomato or vegetable)
Snack       - 1 tube New Whey liquid protein (42 g protein, 0 sugar, 178 calories)
Supper     - 1/2 cup of soup (bean & bacon, cream of mushroom, others)
                      1 slice either turkey or cheese or 1/2 peanut butter sandwich
Snack      - 16 oz gatorade
                     1 sugar free popsicle
Daily total of about 700 to 800 calories. 70 to 80 gram protein daily.
64 oz of water daily. Body could use more but I have not been able to work more in.
Walking 60 minutes per day 5 days per week. No weights yet other than manual labor tasks.

Keeping up with calories and activities at a place called thedailyplate.com , it is a way to keep up with what you eat and how much protein, calories,sugars,etc you are getting along with how much exercise you are doing.
