Losing Weight
My weight loss has slowed as I've begun to eat somewhat normally now that I'm off the liquid phase.
I guess the most significant thing that has happened is that I've busted the 300 lb. mark. It was weird, though. Even though I know I shouldn't, I've been checking my weight every morning just after I get up while I'm still in my underwear. For about two weeks, my weight would go up 2 lbs., then drop 1 lb., then another, then up a 1 lb. Then on Thursday this week, I finally hit 300 lb., but given how my weight was fluctuating, I thought it would go up a pound. It didn't. It just all of the sudden dropped 5 pounds. Huh?
I didn't believe it. I thought something was wrong with the scale. I weighed myself 3 times with the same result. So I proceeded to get ready for work and took a shower, then I weighed again. Still the same. This morning, the scale reads 294, so I guess 295 was for real.
Now my next mini goal is a ways off, but if things keep going well like they have been, I might be at 250 well before June 30th.
I see my WLS doctor next week for my first fill.

Les Misérables
from Computerworld, February 4, 2008, page 37
The "three signs of a miserable job," according to author Patrick Lencioni in his book of that name:
Anonymity: The feeling that your manager has little interest in you as a human being and knows little about your life, aspirations and interests.
Irrelevance: The feeling that your job doesn't make a difference in the lives of others.
Immeasurement: The feeling that you cannot assess for yourself your contributions or success and that your manager is of little help.
[Note: Immeasurement is not a word. -- Danny]

Aaaarrrrrggggghh! Gout sucks!
I finally experienced a gout attack. It happened last Tuesday. As of today, I'm still suffering. I went to the doctor when the attack happened and was prescribed some medicine, but I started having a side effect. So yesterday, I had a follow up with the doctor and prescribed a steroidal medicine that I started taking today. I hope this works.
