Ok, so I can get on with life. You are in fact NOT the old guy/dad from the 70s sitcom, Family Ties, masquerading as a short order line cook? :lol:

how do you feel?

feel amazing/incredible/extraordinary!!! words can't describe. a complete 180 life reversal. i'm alive again.

no complications - no insulin dumping syndrome, no throwing up or foamies, no strictures. not a single food i can't tolerate, though it doesn't matter because all i crave is super healthy stuff.



some health stats:

Blood pressure - 185/125 down to 115/70

fasting glucose - 125 down to 89

HbA1C - 7.1 down to 4.9

Insulin - 10 down to 4.4

LDL cholesterol - 305 down to 156

HDL cholesterol - 44 to 81

cortisol - 20.5 down to 5.4 (still a bit high... probably stress of losing weight so fast?)

liver ALT/AST - 64/103 down to 20/20

i was a runner for all my life. ran a half-marathon at 265lbs! it was always so hard.... for 20 YEARS! now i go out and i just glide... float. i'm actually mad! like... THIS is what running is supposed to be like?!? actually ENJOYABLE?!? (allow me to reiterate - people are not skinny because they exercise. they exercise because they are skinny.)

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
