Scoutingismylife!

I am 4 months 3 days post op.
Before begining the Weight Loss Program I was 430lbs. day of surgery 409 lbs. As of this evening 300.4lbs!!!! For a whopping total of 130lbs since my journey started!
I too have difficulty clothes shopping. I pick something I like but people tell me its too baggy because all of my life I was so used to picking that type of clothing. Pick form fitting clothes and something that is "Actually" your size and you'd be surprised!
I am no longer on blood pressure meds, pre diabetic, or have sleep apnea- things just get better and better every day!
I have started the insanity work out and do what i can until i build myself to the full work outs...
My sisters wedding is in 20 days and I have never felt better than to go to a tux fitting and need a size smaller than what was originally ordered!
keep up the great work everyone! I love reading the threads here and keeping myself motivated to keep up my new life and trying new things!

I have to brag a little bit here.... I am six weeks post op and work two jobs. My part time job is commissioner at a boy scout camp. I am a jack of all trades master at none: conducting trainings, maintenance, business management, etc....
A few of the directors knew I had the gastric bypass RNY, the staff does not know and continued to hassle me when I told them I wanted to do the mile swim. I had no conditioning or prior training so with it being the fourth of July and having off from my full time job I proceeded to do the mile swim. I COMPLETED the swim in HALF HOUR and could have done two miles!!
It was the most athletic thing I've done my entire life and can't wait to continue to exercise and enjoy the new me!!!!
Never let anyone tell you "No!" and be persistent enough to prove them wrong!
Not to mention swimming is a very relaxing and great exercise routine!
Veni, Vedi, Vichi!!!!!
Labor Omnia Vincit- hard work conquers all!!!
Keep up great work everyone!!!!
Ok rant over! Thanks for listening.

The thing that bothers me the most is when someone says ahhh u don't need that surgery just don't eat or do it on Ur own errrrr people just don't understand .

Had surgery at 7:30a today. Was two and a half hours long and I am walking laps around the hospital floor!
Still alot of discomfort but can't wait to get home tomorrow afternoon!

This has been the longest five months of my life. Brought on by one of the toughest past year of my life! I can not wait to start a new lease on life and look forward to using the tools learned to finally reach so many dreams!
I am scared, nervous, and excited!
