Well, since the start of this adventure (pre-sleeve weight), I've dropped 40 lbs. For the most part, I feel great! I'm still struggling to maintain my nutrition levels throughout the day, and I'm really looking forward to starting solid foods this weekend, but all things considered, I'm doing great!

My weight loss is total; since the sleeve, I've lost 25 lbs (I dropped 15 lbs on the pre-op diet, but probably 10 lbs of that was Water weight, per the surgeon).

Can't wait for the big 5-0 (lbs, that is).

Oh, and I just bought this to replace my tired old 2001 Magna. More horsepower, better sound, way more off-the-line, and model good looks:

I can't wait until I can change "fat geeky biker" into just "geeky biker."

Life is grand!

Wouldn't that turn into "Hot geeky biker." ? :)

Dunno if I'm hot yet -- gotta get the flab off and find out what's underneath.

I'll be happy with just "geeky biker" -- anything else is just frosting!

Thanks! I'd be mortified to try to get my big fat ass into leather pants... Just good ole Draggin' Jeans for me until then (more comfortable, less ridiculous looking on me, and still have kevlar built in for to keep the roadburn away).

Maybe if I hit my end of August goal of 250 lbs, maybe then I'll try something that shows off me bum a bit more...

To each his/her own. My girlfriend just bought a brand new, high-tech, large capacity washer/dryer set, and I swear she was as giddy about that as I am about the bike!

LOL!!! That was pretty funny! I have never had any leather riding pants, but I might just consider it now. You would never see my big fat ass in those before I lost my weight!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
