Well, today is my 18 month surgiversary. I had my annual physical/18 month check-in with my PCP yesterday. I was sleeved in Mexico, so my PCP has handled my follow-up blood work and such.
Everything was great! All of my labs were dead-on perfect other than my non-HDL Cholesterol being a tiny bit to the "low" side. Obviously not a cause for concern.
She was thrilled to hear I am training for a half marathon. She wants me to email her and let her know how it goes.
She was also happy to hear that I've been maintaining below goal for 6 months now. She has seen me through many of my past weight loss attempts and knows how prone I am to regain.
Really happy everything is going so well!

Ive always been pretty honest with myself. I always knew I was a big guy. when I look in the mirror, or take a picture of myself. to me I always look like what I think in my head. its probably a mental thing.
In the past this certain thing has happened quite a few times. I'm at a convenience store standing in line waiting to pay for my goods and out of the corner of my eye I catch a glimpse of the security monitor and I see this huge guy standing there and I think to myself "I'm big but I don't think I'm that big yet" then I look again and that guy is actually me. then I'm in a bad mood the rest of the day lol
The other day I was going to a different location for work. in this building there's a hall where the elevators are that all the walls and elevator doors are mirrors. I was walking to the elevator and I noticed this guy out of the corner of my eye and thought I should be that size soon. when I stopped and pushed the elevator button I realized that was me in the mirror. the reverse of what Ive experienced before! good mood the rest of the day :-)

Had my surgery on July 13th. 127 lbs down, 81 lbs to go!
I indulged and occasionally cheated the first few months (not bad, but if I craved something, I had a bite so it didn't become an obsession), but that stopped pretty quickly. I keep to the high-protein/low carb diet just fine now, although I have to push myself to try and get enough calories because eating just isn't interesting/fun anymore. I haven't started hardcore exercising, but I do walk quite a bit more around my campus and do things like take the stairs/park far away when I go places so I get a little more activity.
I'm planning on starting to hit the gym soon since I want to hit my goal by summer. I'm moving to Austria in the fall for a few months of school, and I'd love to go with a healthy BMI!
