    John, Hope you’re on your way home and on the road to Health by now! It’s good to see more guys out here on Obesity Help. We make up a small minority of the people having Weight Loss Surgery, but tend to lose down quicker and with fewer hassles than the women due to Male Physiology. The first weeks can be rough, but remember “It Does get Easier…” Drop by the "Men's Message Board" at- http://www.obesityhe lp.com/forums/men/ -to see how other Guys are doing with their surgeries. A lot of info and advice specifically tailored to Men. I’m just dropping by to let you know that there’s a huge crowd of strangers out here pulling for you and holding you in our prayers. May you have a famously successful surgery and a record-breaking recovery! Be nice to the nurses, Enjoy the drugs when you can, and most importantly, hurry home and start walking away from those pounds and into a new Life! Best Wishes-

Two years and going strong
on May 6, 2009 5:02 am
Wow...what a great two years it has been. I really get it now. I wondered why everyone stays so faithful to Obestiy Help for a few months or even a year or two. Then they seen to fall off the radar. Well, I think I have it all figured out. People head off to start living life. I've gained a few pounds and I'm in the process of getting those off. My lowest was 191 with a realistic goal of 195. I'm hanging in at about 206 most mornings and I plan to be below 200 again in several weeks. I'm focusing in once again on protein and veggies. I was being strangled by the carb monster and I took my sword and I'm pushing him back....back....back I say.

It is so hard to believe that just two years ago I was so scared to death of having this surgery. That was really scary, but it was a time in my life that I cherish and look back on with many fond memories. The friends I made here were so valuable to me...too bad so many have gravitated so far away.

As an update on Christine, my dear wife who had the surgery just a year after mine, she has managed to drop over 90 pounds and I call her my new girlfriend. She is such a hotty now. I need to get some cute pics of her up on my profile to prove what I'm saying. She got a new job and there are a half dozen people where she works who are getting the surgery. They seem totally supportive at her work for those who want to better their life. What a blessing a good employer is.

Anyway, that is the latest update.

Thanks for checking in...

John
