Well it's 8-19-08 and I'm down a total of 67 lbs since going in 4-22-08 not bad, anyway I have now since joined the GYM and what a difference in energy, I'm up everyday at 4:30 am like clock work I'm at the gym by 5am till 6am my body fat has gone down and muscle has replaced the fat, nice arm I might add, funny thing is that now more people(woman) notice me more now and have been asked out, feels good because 4 months ago thoose woman would have never given me the time of day and now thev'e asked me out to dinner or coffee, so to that I say thank you DR. OTERO M.D couldn't have done it with-out you,..As for my personal life well that could be better, my domestic partner decided to have several affairs in the last 2 years and I finally found out the hard way, when she decided to move out in late JUNE 2008 so just trying to get my life in order and I'm putting myself out there in the "dating world" again hate it as I come to see that some woman are cheaters too as I was asked out by a "married woman" sorry can't do that... anyway that's it for now... my avitar is the lastest pic of me @ 176 lbs

Well Im down to 191 lbs. not bad for only having my surgery April 22, 2008 a lot has changed since my last post.....weight has come off...went to buy new clothes, it's nice to be able to buy clothes and worry if they fit so tight and feel like skin.......friends have really noticed...which make me feel good about myself.....finally...............but the biggest change in my life is that Debbie has decided to move out and be on her own...we have over 28 years of history...so Im sad, and semi depressed....  we were once in love, but I guess have grown apart........my kids are the ones who really feel the differnce...but I gues the old saying "time heals all" well that's a bunch of CRAP.......I figured we would grow old together........but anyway I just wanted to get you up to speed.............over-all I feel great........don't crave any junk food or sodas.........I will get through this I know.......

Well it's been a while since my last posting, and alot has changed both body wise and mentally.........Im down 35 lbs now since my surgery April 22, 2008 and I feel so much better, did have to get new clothes, as I went down 2 pants sizes.  ........my next doctor visit is June 11,2008 hope to be down to 199 lbs, as I started @ 242 lbs .....anyway as for my personal life, well thats changing even more.........it seems that Debbie and I are spliting up after reuniting back after being divorced for 6 years and thats taking a toll on me mentally, maybe because it having to deal with many things such as mortage payments, bills & kids, now having to direct my focus on that and not me, but I guess this will make me stronger I hope, it will be hard to come home to an empty home, but they say time heals all, we had many memories, good and bad both, but the kids are the best thing to happen to us, all 3 kids Steph, Daniel, and my little goat (Billy)
