Half way to goal and full for the first time!!

Today I hit 235 lbs. which is half way to my goal of 170 lbs. I can't believe it, it's only been eight weeks since my surgery.  The second big thing today, was that I ate half a falafel sandwich from our local Mediterranean Market. Such good, high protein, low fat mostly vegi food. My family loves it. Anyway, this is the first bread (pita) that I have eatten since my surgery. It tasted so good, AND I could only eat half of it. I was full!! This is the first time I have ever felt really full without having ate triple portions of everything at our Thanksgiving dinner or a mountain of hot wings. I was not 'busting at the seams full", but pleasently full. AND I STOPPED!! I may make it after all. I rolled up the other half and I'll have it for lunch tomorrow. What a novel idea! Normally, I would have eatten two of these sandwiches and polished of a pint of Ben and Jerry's for desert.

Michael, You are doing fantastic, and looking real good (for a guy). Keep it up, man. Joe

Keep up the good work!  I've had a few pieces of bread (1/2 slice).  It feels me up fast.   Actually, although I loved bread  I'm almost starting to get away from it as I realize I can it fills me up to fast and I'd rather have some meat or whatever.   Any, best of luck and Keep It Up! Mike
