Well just about two weeks post-op and doing great. Yesterday I preached twice and felt no ill affects. Then went back at night and led prayer meeting. I did sleep good last night! Got up early this morning for a 6:30AM doctor's appointment.... total weight loss: 58 lbs (since March); blood pressure: 120/72; great bill of health and a B-12 shot! Went right to the gym and had a good workout then home to mow the lawn! I have over 7000 steps on my pedometer!!! And the protein shake deal is going well. I have learned how to mix up shakes, pudding, V8 juice and soups for a varied menu and still getting my 100 grams of protein. All in all, feeling great! Keep praying - two week check up on Thursday with the surgeon. If all is well I can start lifting weights again - the weight will fly off then. Also I will be on pureed food (oh goody). Listen a mashed yam never sounded so good. Oh yeah the best thing was the amazing encouragement I received from my church family yesterday. What a blessing. It is all good!
