I’m down another 1.2. I can definitely see a change in my face. There is more angularity, less cheek. I would do a comparison on Canva, but I’ve run out of time.

I’m on Stage 5 now, which means I can eat mostly anything as long as it’s within 10 grams of fat, sugar, 20 grams or more of protein, and isn’t bread or raw vegetables. I’ve experimented with new foods like sweet potato pasta, these giant popped corn discs I got from the store, and herb and garlic tuna without any Miracle Whip. Good stuff.

I’ve started up my strength training regimen at the gym again, but unfortunately, I’ve had to start way back at the beginning because it had been so many weeks since my last session.

But I’m definitely headed in the right direction.

The kids and Derek made Oreo brownies last night. They smelled amazing when I came in the door, but they didn’t tempt me like they would have pre surgery. I know this is temporary, and the temptations may eventually come back, but it’s nice to have for right now.

Gym time!
