Week 11

The below figures are obtained using an Omron Fat Loss Monitor Scale, HBF-400. I have no clue if it's the best one, but it's the one I have at home.

Busy weekend, but still not a good excuse. Thought I exercised and ate enough to have some success, and not this step backwards.

Did go see my stomach doctor last Thursday. He is having me do an upper GI this coming Wednesday, to determine if I am having a problem with the "new stomach" or such. I did ask him about the new "tweaking" procedure, where they can go in and tighten up the "new stomach" again, etc. He says it's still not clear if it really helps or not, and it's expensive. The tool they use is a one-time use tool, so you buy it, and it's tossed. I'm sure that's largely for health reasons, and that's fine.

I return to the stomach doc Friday, June 4th, and should have a better diagnosis at that point.
Meanwhile, I need to see what I can do on my own.
