Not the biggest loser

After a quick weigh-in, it looks like I've gone below the yellow line and gained a pound since yesterday. For this competition, that's a good thing.

Two Course Breakfast







Mother's Day 2009



Deb seems to get a raw deal on Mother's day. Next year, we're going to have a great day that doesn't involve any surgery recovery.



Each day continues to be a significant improvement from the previous day. I haven't hit the scales this morning, but as of Saturday, I'm down 11 pounds. Sleep remains elusive, I mainly get short naps of 30-60 minutes.


Most of my day is spent trying to acquire calories. If it comes in a clear liquid, and is the consistency of water, it's on my list. The hospital sent me home with 2 ounce syringes for feeding. As you can see in the photo below, breakfast was Ensure (vanilla-we're running low on chocolate) and Cytomax (an electrolyte mixture used when cycling - it's Sunday of course). Truth be told, I had seconds of each course. (30 cals/ounce of ensure, and 15 cals/ounce of Cytomax).


Thanks again for all your kind words an well wishes. They make each day go a bit smoother.
