Awesome, i know how you feel, my dr told me today that my BMI was normal.
Keep up the good work.

Just had my 6 month follow up with dr's and still cannot believe how this surgery has changed my life, I went from a high weight of around 285 to 169, size 40/42 pants to 32/33 and med/large shirts not only has my eating and workout habits changed but my outlook on life in general, I love being outside and being active, I enjoy wearing nicer brighter clothes that stand out, there's more of a bounce in my step.
I'm sorry if I sound like I'm gloating, but by no means was this an easy road to haul, I cut out the social lunches at work and hit the gym instead now a lot of the guys and girls I work with join me in the gym and tell me what an inspiration I am to them, I prepare meals in advance so that I had them on hand and can eat properly and make smarter snack choices, I've had the full support of my loving wife and children who keep me motivated. I feel like I'm riding on cloud 9.

I lived my entire life as a big guy, being almost 7 months out I'm down to around 180 lbs and every time I look in the mirror or try on clothes I can't believe how far I come, I workout just about every day and enjoy it, I have a whole new outlook on life and changed my eating habits for the better.
Best of look to you and I wish you much success.

Awesome

I think Protein Shakes / smoothies should be used to supplement, sometimes when your on the go a Protein Shake makes for a quick meal and prevents you from getting hungry and making bad food decisions or sometimes your craving something like ice cream and can whip up a smoothie like mike shake to satisfy that craving.

Went to go put on what I thought where a new pair of a shorts not realizing they where new last summer.

1- wake up early before the alarm feeling well rested and no cpap machine.
2- packing lunch and Snacks for work (10hr days)
3- go to gym during lunch break and enjoy getting in a 30-45 workout in.
4- not worrying about next meal.
There is so much more that I can't even think of, I enjoy being active everyday, my only regret is not during this sooner.

Thanks everyone, i feel awesome my only regret is not doing this sooner.

Congrats, keep up the good work

Went to dr to get results from blood work, got on the scale and holly molly blew by my goal weight of 200 and was down to 190 while in uniform pants and work boots, blood work was all good, it was a great check up.
Best of luck to everyone that is on this journey.

@@Pookeyism
these are a few thing i can think of
not today, but...........
recently flew to GA to visit grand-kids
not only did i not have to wear the "ever popular" seat belt extender
i easily sat between 2 other people, no prob, with room to spare
there was so much room on each side of me
they must be making the seats wider
almost fell backwards in the seat at the movies
i wasn't expecting the seat to have "grown"
for the first time in "umteen" years i bought/ wore a beautiful one piece bathing suit
i am now "putting myself" out there in public and volunteering
i "bravely" walked down the street and met/greeedt/introduced myself to a new neighbor
went to a neighorhood/block party/barbecue
no longer have to deal with taking diabetes meds/insulin - CPAP - high blood pressure meds
my BIG, most important unexpected surprise
i now take half dosage of my epilepsy meds!!!
look at a full length mirror in Kohl's and not want to cry/die!!!
not feeling ashamed of myself in grocery store et al
thinking people looking at me thinking "oh my gosh look at her"
now anyone looks at me and says "hmmmm she is cute as a button!!"
I am much more confident!!
i weigh 130 lbs - down from my DOS weight of 235 lbs!!!
i am now one very "proudgrammy!!"
happy i am healthier
happy to be alive

I don't weight myself regularly (last weight-in was a month ago at drs follow up) so not sure if I hit a stall or not, but noticed that clothes were fitting better and I was constantly updating my wardrobe, plus everyday I feel so much better about health and well being and have gained so much self confidence.

Went to go put on what I thought where a new pair of a shorts not realizing they where new last summer.
