Hello Everyone,,..

So i visited my doctors office and was going through my weight / health history and nothing is out of norm except that I have been between 285lbs and 328 in the pass 5/6 years.. I have always felt strong with great endurance and had always been active.. For instance last year i ran 15 5k about 12 10k and finish a 10 mile run in about 2hrs,.. I worked out 4 times a week Free weights, elliptical, Cross training, running/jogging and i would workout for over and hour with no problem.. I ate healthy., and worked out weekly.. but to no avail I couldnt get under 285lbs (a bmi of 38),,. Well that was last year and this year i Have slowed down and work out 3 times a week and only doing a couple of 5ks. Im 315lbs today.. I have been feeling like what the heck is wrong with me! I have come to the conclusion that i need more help than i initially thought! I was always told that " you look great for a chubby guy" or "dammmm you can workout that much" or "its your bone structure you are ment to be a big guy" Well Freak that .. I have 3 kids and i want to be around for them ..,Im afraid of obese related illnesses and if i dont take control of this i know illnesses are just lurking especially with my diabetes and heart related issues that run in my family..

So here is my Smack of reality.. I NEED HELP.. i understand that!....

      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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
