The 48 hour fast is over as planned. For my first meal I eat a turkey sandwich on a croissant with tomato and lettuce. I also have a small granny smith apple. The first meal after a fast is always the best meal ever. I wonder if that's how a junkie feels after not having a hit in awhile. I heard many times before that junkies are always chasing there first hit. But I wonder if that's only true for some and not others.
I did the calculations, and assuming I'm at 475 lbs now, getting down to 175 lbs (or 80 kg) by April 1st 2010 would mean losing 5.5 lbs a week. I'm fairly certain this is possible as I've done this weight loss before. As far as the health aspects are concerned, as long as I follow the diets provided for gastric bypass patients I should be fine. There would be more of a risk doing the surgery and doing the diet than just doing the diet alone. How many complications can happen with the surgery? So, I might as well do it without the surgical aspect to avoid those complications, not to mention the costs.
I took a photo of myself at day 2 today and will post it the next blog post.
