Did not have surgery until Dec 11 but when I get to where I can REALLY tell a difference I will post several pictures of my journey. I think that the reason that men do not post is that there seem to be more women here than men. Maybe the men are just shy or maybe it is the fact that many men do not consider this type of surgery as it is more acceptable to be "fat" and male than it is to be a female. I know that it does not make a lot of sense to me and I did it for health reasons but I know that many of you probably have seen this in our society in the past and will happen into the future. Somethings just do not change fast in our society. Just like the acceptance of WLS.

Okay, I'll play, but the suit pic will have to wait for another month when I take my youngest daughter out to the Daddy-Daughter Valentine's Day Dance! (That way I can have one of me and her in "formal" outfits).

Here are two pics of me. The one on the left is me right before surgery. In this pic I had already gone from 371 to 351 and it was taken the day before my surgery (6-19-12). The two pics on the right were actually taken last night right after my workout at the gym. I am 230 in these two pics.

      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! 😞
