WOW Moment

Well, it's only been six weeks since surgery, but somehow (unbelievabe to me) I've gone from 300 lbs. to 245 lbs. already. Today, I told my wife that my 3XL t-shirts that I wear to walk were getting too big and I would need to buy some smaller ones. Then I remembered that my twin sons, who are now off at college use to wear larger size t-shirts in high school then they do now. They have gotten thinner since going to college, thank the Lord. I went to their rooms and found their "too big" pile of XL t-shirts. The WOW moment came when I tried on a couple of the XL size and THEY FIT! I could not believe it. I knew I had gotten smaller, but I didn't realize it was that much. Thank God and WLS.

That is awesome Michael. 55 lbs in 6 weeks (actually 5w 5d). I have lost 40 in 5w 4d. I think I need to do more walking, especially since the weather has cooled. Keep up the great work. Joe
