I weighed myself yesterday morning and i am down from 341 to 289. I need to lose 98 more pounds to reach my personal goal of 150 pounds total weight loss. My doc wants to to get down to 180..but i doubt that ever happens. LOL. Really, if i weigh anywhere near 200, i will be happy.

I am a 49 year old man 6 ft 3. This is the best decision i ever made, if you're thinking about the surgery, DO IT. You won't regret it. I am going to try to eat some raw fruits and veggies this month for more Fiber. I bought a set of weights and an exercise bike, i think Santa might bring me a real bike for Christmas. (fingers-crossed)

My surgeon was Dr. Keith Kim..Orlando, Florida. Great job all the way around. I eat mostly deli meats from Publix, Greek yogurt and drink plenty of Water. My supplements are as follows:

Multivitamin with Iron

CQ10

Omega fish oil

B-12

Calcium with Vitamin D

Probiotics

Fiber

I get all this stuff from GNC.

Anyway, all i can say is it really works. My NUT says i will lose weight slower now, but that's ok. I'm in this for life. Good luck to everyone.

Sounds like your doing everything right! congrats on your wt loss-thats awesome. I noticed some extra Vitamins that you are taking, than what I was told. Are these Dr. Kim recommedations for WLS patients?

Hey Redfish, congrats!!! You are doing exceptionally well!!

Whatever you feel comfortable with and you are as healthy as you can be, I'd say do that.

All the best to the rest of your journey!!!

Congrats!!! That is awesome!!!!

What was your surgery date? I am 8 weeks out today. Surgery was oct 4th.

Congratulations! That is wonderful loss, what a great start! Thanks for the inspiration.
