2 years just flown by

So here I am, just a little over 2 years out. To save you reader some time, I started out at 376 glorious pounds of depression and misery. I'm a very "outdoors" minded person. Love to dive, ride motorcycles, lake trips, you name it. Being almost 400 pounds, it took a huge toll on my ability to enjoy what I enjoyed (even if that statement sounds kind of stupid). I'll tell you, if you're considering this surgery as an option, quit considering it and DO IT! It has allowed me to have a life ag

How Fast Things Change

Man, I cant seem to keep up with these as much as I had hoped too. I am now almost 3 weeks post op, feeling great, pain free and losing poundage on a regular basis. I still havent bought a scale, but clothes are fitting better and better everyday. I got lucky, I suppose, I went home the day after surgery and didnt have to take any pain meds after leaving the hospital, quite happy about that actually. So far its been really easy.

Had my second visit about a month ago, managed to lose about 4 lbs., which is good, I guess. I haven’t really changed much in my overall diet; just stopped eating so much crap and cut out the sodas almost entirely. Scheduled to have my 3rd and final visit tomorrow, we'll see how that

Step one....again

Well, hello all. I suppose this will be where I will share the journey of my future sleeve. I'll start off all formal.   My name is Eric. I am a 28 year old oil field mechanic working for one of the largest well services companies in the world. I love my job, always have. I have been in south Texas for roughly 3 years now, last 2 I have spent in a supervisor role managing equipment repairs in our maintenance department. The first 4 years of my career I spent as a field mechanic livin
