+1Sorry to hear that, but your reasons (aside from the insurance clusterf%&k) are the right ones. Dress rehearsal for the real thing - plus caring for your Mom which is hugely important. Stick with the program - you got this!!

Good stuff, David; keep it up!Hi there...
Just a quick progress report...
Today I tipped the scale at 384.4 pounds, down from my starting point of 403 1/2...
...not too shabby...
I just tried my first protein smoothie...broke out the new Cuisinart shake blender, broke the seal on a can of GNC AMP whey protein ADVANCED (vanilla ice cream flavor), threw in one cup of 1% milk, a scoop of powder, a half dozen frozen strawberries, and a dash of Splenda and hit the button...not bad, not bad at all...and it actually filled me up pretty well...
It's still 2 weeks before I see anybody at the doctors or hospital, so dieting and maintaining a positive outlook are the things I'm concentrating on...
Onward...
The hospital is recommending Unjury for the post-op period, along with EAS...I'm not sure how I'm going to handle that yet...19 lbs. is a great start. The more you lose before surgery, the easier it goes. I like Unjury protein, good flavors.
Sunday, May 24...it's been a week of dietary struggles...
MyFitnessPal has me on a 2200 calorie limit, with my own personal goal to stay below a 2000 calorie average...I never broke the 2200 limit, but did pass my personal goal a few times...more than that I broke the limits on fats, sodium, and sugar carbs multiple times...it's hard to balance all of those numbers...
I think it will...Sorry for the delay... hopefully your next screening gives you the all clear!
