I started my journey a year ago this month first with my medical benifits kicking in... then started the 6 month supervised diet which two months after my surgery they did away with... lol so i started in april of 2011 with a starting weight of i think 321lbs the 6 month wait sucked i never thought that i would make it to my surgery date but thanks to diet pills i made it there 40lbs lighter.... lol i had surgery on Nov 15th 2011... My first words when i woke up were literally "That wasnt so bad i would do that again in a heart beat" my recovery was uneventful the only thing i had problems with was not being able to eat alot when i wanted to, but that passed after about 2weeks but i was an emotional wreck.... other than that my weight has came off steadily... im use to the food and what should and shouldnt eat... i do slip up sometimes but not alot... i stick to my nutionist diet as much as i can and i exercise... Im at 200lbs right now with about 10-15 more to go then ill finally be done.... im hopeing to reach my goal weight by may so i better get crackin again... I am still getting use to all the attention of people... its crazy how different people treat you when u lose alot of weight... anyways heres some updated pics... before and after... i wear a 32w and a large t-shirt but i could prob wear a Meduim now... lol went from a xxl and a size 42w

around 04/2011 320lbs
