9 month mini FART
Its been a hell of a journey so far. Just 1 year ago on Dec 9th I was 426lbs at my initial consult. At my surgery date on March 5th I was 396lbs. Today I am 241lbs. I've been dropping a little slow lately but that is to be expected. I am in a size 38 pants from a size 48, a size 1xl tshirt from a 3-4xl, a size 16 dress shirt from a 22, and a size 48 suit jacket from a 60. I'm happy with that. I still have a little bit of a gut with a slight overhang, a bit of extra skin, but so what. I can buy clothes in a regular store now. I shall never step foot in a big and tall store or ask sales clerks if they have something in bigger sizes. Its a damn nice feeling being able to buy off the rack. I live in the Tampa, FL area and there are plenty of beaches around here, I'm not embarassed in the slightest to walk around without a shirt on. Its a nice feeling to not get that disgusted look from people when they meet me. People do judge you when you are overweight and treat you differently. Even when they don't say anything. I am able to run 5 miles every night without a problem, can work out in the gym 7 nights a week for an hour and not be completely exhausted. I'm in the best shape of my life and am only getting better every day. This was the best decision I have ever made for my life, I only wish I could have had it done sooner.
Way to go. It's great to be able to go into a regular store and buy clothes. I've gone from a 9XL short to a 2XL since last year.
