Screw both of ya's.

As soon as I can figure out how to fill a Camelbak with a Vanilla milkshake and have it not thaw out I'll, show you what refreshing looks like.

Back at ya'!

Now I am off for a vanilla milkshake; not kidding.

I had a Vanilla Butter Pecan Shake with my bowl of chili for lunch. Yummy.

thanks again everyone. I have been reading the comments even though I have not had a chance to reply.

Sitting at a very slow open house so finally having some time to catch up!

Even before I had posted this I had made a Drs appointment. Not about the surgery but just to talk to her about what I needed to do.

Without question my diet is the biggest single issue. So I am working on monitoring that closely to see how close or off I have been. Overall I was pretty close. The occasional candy bar if I am hungry and in a hurry. The main issue though as I thought is soda intake. I greatly underestimated how much I was drinking in a given day. So I have taken immediate steps to curtail that. Other than that it is probably a lot of inconsistency. Yesterday I had a burger and fries for dinner with my wife and friends. That is all I ate all day.

Today I had breakfast. Would kill for something right now, and may or may not eat both a late lunch and dinner.

A couple people have commented on eating 4 or so smaller meals and I feel that could go a long way towards balancing things out. I know my metabolism has to be bi polar at this point given my lack of schedule and consistency on meals.

In the end I have seen a lot good thoughts here on both sides of the fence and I do appreciate it.

Damn I hate you man....

A good buddy of mine likes to brag about how some weekends he will go buy an entire dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and eat the entire box over a weekend. He is around 6 foot and under 200lbs, not to mention older than I am. Sometimes I feel the need to smack him obviously. LOL. If I ate like that I am pretty sure I would die immediatly.

Kwelz, good luck man. Sounds like you're taking the right initial steps.

Good plan...consulting with a physician. Excellent place to start as long as it's a physician with some knowledge of obesity medicine. I say that because there are a LOT of doctors that have no clue, with less of an understanding that what I've seen expressed in this thread (with one or two notable exceptions). It's not a discipline that is commonly well-understood by your average primary care doctor.

Your BMI is not at a point where you just need to just tweak your lifestyle. You are in for a major renovation because losing 150 lbs and keeping it off is a Herculean task. Be realistic, be open-minded, be smart. Best of luck to you.
