Ok im give yiu guys some stats to start off let you know where I started. Oct 2011 I wieghed in at a whoping 458lbs . Started ckasses for surgery in dec 2011. My sugery date was april 20 2012 that day I weighed 391 lbs. Today I weighed myself I weighed in at 236lbs. Cant beleave it myself. I feel better today or actually this past year, better than I did throught my 30's and most of 20's. By the way im 43 years young and feeling younger by the day. I cant tell you ive followwd all rules cause I havent. I started off walking graduated to running and now I beed to get. Myself back on track. Feeling great comes with new found excitment for doing things. I've ever been a couch potatoe for last 15 years. I really feel good. Sometimes I miss the food' but I would trade it for anything. I went fro size 58 pants 6xl shirt.....to a size 36 pants 2x shirt. I even fit into some xl shirts. Of course there is excess skin but ill take trade off anyday. Eating wise I can eat pretty much anything just cant eat alot. Maybe 5 bites and im done. Well good luck everyone check out pic I posted big difference.

Hey man glad to see you back. I remember you telling me about how you started running and that helped inspire me to start running as well. You look terrific. Keep up the great work.

I'm with you in the excess skin. I've got some, you can't lose 200 lbs and not have some....but it beats having the 200lbs of fat any day of the week.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
