At my initial consultation for surgery I weighed 291lbs. Today I am proud to announce I weigh 190lbs. Therefore I have lost 101lbs!!!
I am very proud of the accomplishment I just achieved. I honest have a hard time believing I lost that much weight. I have about 40 to 45 more pounds to go to reach my ultimate goal and I hope to reach that by next spring.
I will upload pictures a little later.
YAY ME!!!

I just knew I was going to be the one who bounced right back so I just took a week. Surgery on a Monday back to work the next. Oh I went back to work and on Tuesday I was crying my eyes out when I got back home. I had to take the next three days off, and I didn't get out of bed until Sunday. TWO WEEKS at the minimum and then go back to work if you feel better and are a bouncer back. I also wanted the third week of 1/2 days, but that didn't happen. I pushed through the third week and this is my fourth week now, and I am ok. This morning I feel good. Gatorade G2 helped so much with dehydration. I didn't wake up this morning with a dry mouth.

Try Snowboaring with my daughter Actually buy a wet suit, and wear it in public and go surfing Fly across the country and demand a middle seat, preferably between two fat people Try to run regularly Play Badminton (I love badminton) Learn to sail work on a 6pack (you know what I mean) Try Kite Sailing Try scuba diving (since I'll own a wet suit already) Wear shirts with thick horizontal stripes Shave my beard (which I had for 30 years) Go to the gym and take showers and be NUDE in the locker room Join a softball team play basketball Dance (well... maybe not dance but go where people dance) Take my shirt off at the beach Go swimming at a public pool (with a spedo!!) Pick up coins when I drop them Throw my cpap machine in the ocean Buy a small car, or just rent one to see how it feels getting in and out of Try indoor rock climbing ride a bike, and sit on that.... seat Give the middle finger to the guys at Rochester big and tall, (they are nice but damn expensive) Try to help out other fat guys, somehow
