Well, I'll go more in depth in the future, I suppose.  For now, a quick update on my progress.

I started taking my weight loss seriously in January, 2008 when I was 6'3" and 530 lbs.  Between my own efforts, joining the Cedar Sinai assisted weight loss program and finally getting my RNY surgery in early November, I've lost a total of 110 lbs this year, including about 40 pounds since the surgery about 7 weeks ago.

The surgery, I'm happy to say, has been very kind to me.  I rarely get pain when eating, only a few foods have been problematic and usually only when I overcook them and dry them out.  Excercise has gotten a lot easier, and I can do my 35 minutes of cardio 5 times a week without feeling like I'm going to die.  I'm even seeing a personal trainer twice a week, though I feel it may be necessary to murder him in a back alley if he continues being perky at me first thing in the morning.
