Hey everyone
Its been over a year now since my surgery. Ive lost over 100 lbs and I am now at my goal weight!! This surgery has definitevly changed my life and its the best thing I have EVER done! If anyone has any questions dont hesitate

I bought these pants a few days ago and wore them for the first time today!! SIZE 8!!!!!
Whooooohoooo!!!!
I've been a little upset with my scale, but I'm about to focus on muscle instead. I was dead-set on getting to goal before I muscle up (head games, I know). But pics like this help put things into perspective. So, I think I'll throw out the number goal and start lifting ??
Pic: size 18 vs size 8!

Today is the 1 year anniversary of my surgery. It has been an amazing journey to say the least. I can tell you that I am not the same person I was a year ago and I am very happy about that fact. I did not have any complications thankfully and I would not change any of the experience whatsoever.
Did I follow the plan to the T? Absolutely not. For the most part I stuck to the Protein first rule however I did and have enjoyed foods along the way that were not part of the plan. I have stuck to the no carbonation and no straw rules though. For the most part if I wanted or craved a food I ate it.
I do still have restriction but it is not what it was in the early months. The amount of working out I do now though has me eating almost constantly. I don't ever feel hungry in the way I would in the past but I am able to sense when my body needs food.< /p>
In 2007 I weighed in at 418 pounds. Before surgery during pre-op I weighed 362. This morning I weighed in at 208. I am literally half the man I use to be. SO 210 over all loss and 154 since surgery.
I am not trying to lose any more weight but I am also not trying to stop losing at this point. I am content with whatever happens for now.
If anyone has questions please let me know and I will be glad to answer!
