Dap73 got a reaction from BigTink2LilTink in Guys who started over 400 lbs.Just donated about a 3 foot high stack of pants and shirts. Got some Christmas pants in 42 down from 50 and some 2xlt shirts down from 4-5xlt, I even fit a regular 2x just didn't like the color so didn't buy it. New Year's Eve morning I was 300.0 on the dot. I even tried to take a quick lap around the block to drive it below 300 but no success. I figure tomorrow it will be new year, new starting digit in my weight. I've lost 120 pounds since starting insurance approval. 91 since pre-op diet, and 68 since surgery. It's been an interesting process. I still feel huge but seeing photos of myself over these holidays has been a revelation.

Dap73 reacted to Aquarian1220 in Guys who started over 400 lbs.Hey guys. Just a quick note to let you all know that this morning I weighed in at 299 pounds! Another milestone achieved!
I've really been enjoying reading everyone's successes and am praying for those that don't see the light just yet. You'll get there!

Dap73 got a reaction from PorkChopExpress in Guys who started over 400 lbs.I agree the preop diet sucks. You feel hungry but it is a great trend setter.

Dap73 got a reaction from Ignatius in Guys who started over 400 lbs.Thanks. Apparently I mistyped I am down 41, which is still good. I started similar to you. I was 391 then 368.5 at surgery, then 350 at the surgeons office at 2 weeks. I agree about staying off the scale. I am trying to go for once a week.

Dap73 got a reaction from Ignatius in Guys who started over 400 lbs.Day 7 of my now 16 day Preop diet (surgery was moved back 2 days for scheduling reasons). I'm not really hungry but I am exhausted by the end of the day. After cooking dinner and getting the kids to bed I basically just fall in bed myself. I guess I get to look forward to this for a few months. On the positive side -12 lbs.

Dap73 got a reaction from Ignatius in Guys who started over 400 lbs.Just dropping in. Surgery scheduled for Sept. 27. Currently 390, was 430 as recently as a year ago. Im looking forward to getting through the initial surgery recovery etc. Ive been increasing the activity level over the last year, gym, running and Tae Kwon Do. I hope the break is not too long. I get itchy when its been too long.
