49.8% the man I was

By Paul11011

· 740 views

On Nov 23, 2010 I met with my surgeon for my initial consultation, on that date I weighted in at 492lbs. On the date of my VSG, Jan 10, 2011, I weighted 456lbs. Today I weigh 245lbs. That brings my total lost to 247lbs and my post op total to 211lbs. Here's why today is a milestone for me: today I weigh 49.8% of what I did back on Nov 23, 2010. I am officially less than half the man I was!

 

I know this journey is not about the numbers on the scale rather it's having the opportunity to live a fuller more healthy life, but man I gotta admit, this one feels pretty good. Thanks for reading Y'all.

    WOW! That is amazing. In the process of considering this surgery for myself this really inspires me. Way to go I know that it more than likely has not been an easy year but you have a lot to be proud of. Or in your case 1/2 of what you were to be proud of. Congrats!
