Geeewhy

I can understand. Meeting the right person isn't easy from either side of the aisle.

Hey now... don't think all Florida guys are that way! Some of us are tall and like tall women

I was having a similar situation, started taking a potassium supplement and have had no subsequent issues.

Your friends sound a lot like my friends, and I struggled with whether or not to tell them I finally did while playing poker one night, about 2 weeks before the date. One of them said "What... you mean you're not pregnant?", another said "Well it's about time, you fat %$#*" - he can say that because even at 465 lbs, he was heavier than me, and another guy said something about being pissed, because he had me in the "dead pool" and was sure he was going to win, so I said something about sex with his sister and we all laughed. In the end, all of my friends have been supportive and helpful along the way. To a man they are all proud of me for taking this step, and the guy that was bigger than me is scheduled for surgery in November. In retrospect, I'm very glad I told them, because I would hate for something to have happened to me while I was being operated on, and them to have to hear from someone else. i say tell them and just be prepared to give as good as you get.

My calculation:Weight lost / (Starting Weight - Goal Weight) So for me: 209 / (465-220) = ~85% So per your profile For you: 103 / (367-200) = 61.68%

Right at 85% right now. Hope to get another 30-35 off.

Thanks! Dr. Webb was my surgeon and I have nothing but good things to say about him My experience as a whole has been fantastic.

You look great... congratulations! You had your surgery 1 day before me. Who was your surgeon?

I had a similar experience at a college football game this past weekend. Saw a guy in the stands I used to tailgate with, so I went and spoke to him. He had no idea who I was. Last time I saw him a couple years back I was 200+ lbs heavier. He was shocked. I felt good

As long as you're mindful of what you're taking into your body, and focus on protein first, you'll be shocked at how fast the weight comes off of us big guys.

I would imagine your loss rate would depend on how far you have to go, as well as how you stick to your diet and what exercise you do.. That said, Don't know if my situation is the norm, but I lost about 175 lbs in the first 6 months with minimal exercise, and I had about 240 to lose.

Not a tall gal, but a tall guy at 6'4"... I have to say, being tall is great, and god bless all the tall ladies here . MIght take a wee bit longer for the loss to show, but tall people tend to lose faster, from what I've read. So congrats ladies and gentlemen, and keep up the good work!

Hahha... no worries, all good

That's where the "11 month" part comes in

Happy 11 month surgiversary, 9/20'ers. Just keeps getting better every day
