So I did see the doctor today. Awesome news. While I'm not quite under 400lbs yet, I'm close at 414lbs. I did talk about a number of topics- bread is still a no-no. He said there are things I can try but if the bread acts as it has for his other patients, then I won't be able to eat much of it without it coming back up. I'm going to try cream of wheat as well as some cereal as a test, and hopefully these two delicious foods will be added to my increasing list of foods I can eat.

I have moved off soft foods as my staple and I can eat most solid foods. I've enjoyed beef stew and meatloaf so beef isn't a problem as long as I avoid fatty/grizzle pieces.

I talked to my dad about a camping trip this summer. I want to keep my vacations low-key this year so I'll probably avoid expensive trips. I'm still going to hope on this cruise trip but I'll make my final decision in 2 months time, once my budget is working for me without any kinks. Right now with money tight I'd say no but things can change in 2 months. We'll see.

Anywho, thanks to everyone for the comments of support! I appreciate them and I'm glad I could show everyone the physical improvements I've been making.
