I don't frequent the board enough there are so many wonderful stories, of success, so figured I'd share mine.. I had the operation on march 12th of this year, started at 347lbs pre op, now I'm 224lbs, and feel great.. My ideal weight is 190lbs but i want 215 or so.. to hit that in under a year is amazing.. It's been amazing, not much as a single issue, haven't even had any nausea since the first time I woke up from my surgery.. Eating has been a learning experience, since I was a big eater, and enjoyed food.. Now I cherish a ice cream sandwich every now and then.. I have bat loads more energy, and my job has benefited from my productivity.. I read a lot of treads on here bout eating, and stuff and they were a tremendous help.. And for that I thank you guys! Well anyway here's a before and a after... Thanks again...

Great job!!!!! And congrats!!!!!!

Quit dressing like a fat guy. You aren't one anymore my dear . You lost twenty years as well as the pounds.

By the way....is your daughter betrothed yet? She's a super cuttiepie! How's she feel about adorable red heads? We could throw in a trust fund if we have to...and definitely a dog!

Wow! Job well done. You are so close to goal. What an inspiration.

Send me a pm I'd love some lil red headed grand kids. .. Thx so much for kind words... It's been awesome!

Congratulations!

Great job. Looking great..

NSv?

Ok google helped me , my biggest non scale victory is the activities I'm now able to partake in with my children , without dying.. We ride bikes , play soccer .. I'm not tired any more , I barely wanna goto sleep at night.. So the energy I have now in surplus for everyday life made it more than worth it!

Hey , this was a awesome thing.. Just the kick in the ass I needed.. I have no Ill effects , and live a normal life.. Granted I eat off the kids menu or me n my wife share a dinner at a fine restaurant.. But the minor mourning of food , isn't enough to make me have any regrets.. I'd love to whoof down a pizza pie again.. But I settle for a slice now..

You look mighty purty, as we say here in Kentucky!!

I'm the same as you - not quite six months out, no problems, eat whatever I want, just not much of it! Not a single regret.

Come talk with us more often!
