I was 308 in early September. Surgery was Nov 18 and I was 287. Just over a month since surgery and I'm 250.5 today. Haven't taken any "after" pictures yet, but I will.

58 lbs, and 11 BMI points, gone forever!

Recidivist, you look great! I can see you are a vocalist--has losing the weight changed your singing voice at all? I sing in a large local chorale and while I've only lost 20 pounds I find my breath control is easier. But I'm certainly not a soloist like you are so I'm not too concerned about sounding different.

As you can see, I am also in a large chorale. That was one brief solo at last year's Christmas concert!

The surgery has totally changed my voice, and not for the better. I find that I no longer have the power or breath support I used to have. (I was a belter with huge high notes.) A voice teacher told me it's because the surgery involved some of the muscles used in singing and that my voice could be rehabilitated, but I haven't had the time. I can still sing, but not the way I used to. That has actually been one of the most disappointing side effects of surgery. 😞

Wow, Jake-if it weren't for the ink on your right arm matching I woulda thought there was no way that was the same guy. You are doing great!

I’m quite grumpy about my progress lately. 340 after getting home from surgery vs 260 which I have stalled at now for a full two months.
