I went and walked a local mall (Greece Ridge Mall here in Rochester, NY) with a friend. I walked the WHOLE mall!
We stopped, and I weighed myself on a set of scales. Subtracting a few pounds for clothes and pocket contents, I weighed 310 pounds!!!

I had a WOW moment already!
I went for a walk around a thrift store this afternoon. I found a pair of size 48 slacks that were just right for me to wear to work. They had the elastic in the sides, too. A little long, but hey, pants can be shortened. So, I bought them. I got them home, and tried them on. THEY FIT!!!! A little snug, but they will be perfect for me in a little while.
That caused me to go through the back of my closet. I dug out one other pair of...

This week has been a good week for me.
I started back to work on Wednesday, the 18th. So many people told me they could see the weight loss in my face and neck already. I haven't been super tired after work, but I've attributed the tiredness I have to getting up at 3:30 am to start work at 5 am. And, work has gone pretty well.
Today, the 21st. I got the results of my lab work from Highland Hospital. They told me I was low on Vitamin D. According to the paperwork,...

It has been a LONG day.
Had my first post-op appointment this morning. First, the weigh-in; my first since surgery. I weighed 321.6, so I am 19 pounds under my pre-op weight.
My appointment was with one of the bariatric center's PA's. She went over my next diet - pureed foods! YEAH! She also went over what supplements I'll need. She gave me a script for Foltrin, plus she told me I need both calcium citrate tablets as well as Vitamin D tablets.

I am home from the hospital now. Let me recap, as best I can, the events of the past few days.
Monday, March 2 - day of surgery
I had to be to the hospital by 9:45 am Monday morning, because my surgery was scheduled for 11:45 am. Dropped off my CPAP at the check-in desk. I was finishing up getting prepped for surgery, and Dr. Johnson (my surgeon) poked his head in. He told me prior surgeries were running early, and I would be going in at 11 am, and not 11:45. No...
