so, i started this journey with my preop diet on April 1, 2012. at 5'6" i weighed in at 373. i got my sleeve on june 4, 2012. now, on september 1, i am still only 5'6" but now i weigh in at 258. i decided to Celebrate by sharing a before and after (during, since i'm not at goal yet) photo. my beautiful wife is a non-op, but is so supportive of me that she has lost 54 pounds by eating with me, and excercising with me.

also, to share my favorite nsv so far. i was able to join my cross country running son in a 5k, the second picture is me getting ready to cross the finish line at 49 min 20 seconds.

life is good, just wanted to share.

Way to go dude.

absolutely...way to go. You are well on your journey..Keep working hard

That is fabulous!! You are doing a terrific job...keep up the great work.

Congratulations! Keep up the good work and I am so happy for your wife as well...tell her to keep supporting you and both of you will make it to your desired goal!

really wonderful! So happy for you...your story made me smile

Keep up the great work!!!! the changes are amazing....

Hey you both look gorgeous! And younger!!! W2G!!!

congrats, you look good and your wife is doing great also

Congrats to not only you but your wife as well, that is amazing!!!

My hubby and I are both sleeved (I'm 22 months post-op and he is just shy of 18 months post-op) and I am so happy we did this together. What a great thing that even though your wife is a non-op she has shed weight right along with you.

That 5K picture is priceless, what an accomplishment, congrats!

Congrats! That is awesome on all accounts. Yay weight loss as a team. Mutual support makes all the difference. And WOW, that 5k pic is priceless! Congrats on ur success! Life IS good.

You both look awesome! Congratulations. I love to hear when the spouses join in and not only offer their support, but benefit from the surgery as well.

Yay!! Congrats! While I am happy to hear that you are losing weight..I'm sorry to hear that you're still 5'6"! Please let me know if you start gaining height though, that means there might be hope for me too!! I'm 5'4 and was aiming for 5'9 but I don't think this surgery will help with that..haha.. I loved how you added you're still 5'6

Awesome job. The running really helped out.

You have been doing awesome! You can see a lot of difference. It's neat that your wife has been working out and eating well along side you, definitely makes her your best support - plus she is probably feeling great having lost weight too!

Wow! Congrats!!
