Three Month Update with Photo



Recommended Posts

Well just another update. As of last Monday it has been three months since my VSG surgery and I have lost 82.8 pounds as of today. I have been lucky not to suffer any problems. I am including a photo taken on 1-23-10 and one taken last night to show the difference. People that I have not seen since Jan 10 are telling me that I am starting to look like a different person. Oh well I still have over sixty more pounds to get rid of before I get to my goal weight.

Oh yeah I don't want to hear any laughing out there at my pictures, I told you guys before that I am just an old gray headed guy from Arkansas.

Thanks again to the everyone on this site for your thoughts, prayers and post. Again I read alot more than I post and I really enjoy the information on this site. Of course I just pass over all the drama, not interested in that part.

Thanks to everyone for your comments.

Hey Carol, WOW 58 pounds that is great. Tell Rich it is his turn, LOL.

Man, it just seems like yesterday we were talking about going to Mexico and now here it is three months later. It was so nice to meet you guys while we were there.

If this weight loss keeps up I'll be calling you guys about that diving trip. Although I will need to take a refresher course before I come since it has been so long since I have done any diving. You and Rich will keep the sharks away, right? You know I have never done any ocean diving just freshwater, don't have to worry about fish eating you in our lakes, LOL.

Please do post some pictures and tell Rich we said hello.

Take care,

Gary - as someone married to another old gray-headed guy from Arkansas let me join the group to tell you WAY TO GO! Keep doing what you're doing!

(PS - we moved from Bryant to TX in 2002). Pass by Hope on our way to visit relatives in Hot Springs Village and Benton.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
