My scale readings made me very happy today: I'm down to about 307 lbs,
if I remember right, and about 37% fat. Hopefully this will continue.

the average is only 2 lbs., but overall fat pounds has been about 8 so
far.
resp:35 Bed, Bath, & Beyond. It's a Tanita digital scale-- not sure
what the model number is.

Re 15. No, losing weight became easier because without the apnea, I
am more rested by sleep and able to be more active during the day.
I was accustomed to feeling like my head was stuffed with cotton.
I could lie down and go to sleep anywhere, anytime.

Dude - lose the soda. All of it. I've been on pure water for 3 weeks now,
and I've noticed a few things besides all of the weight loss (as that's not
the main contributor) - my skin is getting better and my teeth look better.
Water is the greatest gift you can give yourself.

Even diet? I've never been able to tell if carbonation is the culprit.
I try to drink a big class of water in the morning-- probably what I
need to do is take a mug of water to work.
I got my sleep study scheduled, so I go to the lab to sleep on the
16th of October. I can hardly wait.

The culprit is probably the caffeine, which is a diuretic. People who drink
mostly caffeinated beverages tend to be dehydrated, and proper hydration has
all kinds of unexpected benefits.

I'm supposed to be getting 64 oz. of water a day. Plus whatever else I want
to drink. As my stomach is now the size of 2 oz., I have decided to forgo
all other liquids.

How long does it take for the water to go through your stomach? I
always wondered that. I mean, you cant sit down and drink 8 ounces of
water in a 15 minute period can you?
How many calories are you getting a day? I read that the average after
this type of surgery is like 600. I also read that even though folks
are only getting a few calories, they dont feel hungry. Have you found
that to be true?

It takes me about 30 minutes to get through 8 oz. of water - if I'm
concentrating on it. I'm not sure how many calories I get - I concentrate
more on grams of protein, as I ideally like to hit 50 grams. With a protein
shake and the amount of beans and meat I get, I don't worry about it too much.
(If you don't get enough protein, it causes fatigue, hair loss, slows down
healing of the incision . . . .) I am rarely without a bottle of water, plus
I've learned to cheat a bit - when I make a protein shake, I toss in a bunch
of ice cubes for the blender - it makes it more like a milkshake and I get
more water.

(Sure - 0.001 Calorie per degree Celsius above the liquid reference state.)
