WOW!! 11 months out, been too long since I have been here!

Jul 04, 2010

Happy 4th of July everyone, I hope everyone has a great day!!!  Anyways, soo how has everyone doing lately.. I know its been a long time since I have been here, but life keeps me very very busy!!  I am a total lost of about 165 lbs, give or take a few.. It feels sooo good to lose what I have.. I have about another 125-130 lbs to go till my goal, but I think I can do it!!  It takes a lot of work and determination, but if I hit it hard, I will do it.. I have given myself 24 mnths to do this, I'm only 11mnths out, so still got a while.. Its soo nice to walk around and not feel like your going to die, and its also very nice to buy clothes normally. Im still in big man sizes, but small enough where I can buy at JC Penneys etc.  I feel great, and life is good.. I just wanted to do a small update, hope all is well, keep up the good work everyone!! :)

Well hey everyone!!!   Today was my visit with Dr. Shrapps, my surgeon..  Today we discussed the procedure, hospital stay, and other small things...  It looks like it is all coming along well..  Originally my surgery was schduled for August 3rd, but has been moved to the 10th of August...  Some more great news, I have lost about another 13 lbs, bringing my total weight loss so far to 36.5 lbs, since I started the low cal diet...  I still have the liquid diet to conquer, so I will lose even more!!!! Once again thanks for ths support!!

Well today is July 1st, and we had a dietary meeting at the center.  It was pretty informational meeting on how we are going to eat, what to eat, and what we have to do to make our WLS a success.  I learned alot, and look very forward to it..  While I was there I asked if I could go to the back and weigh.  I have been on a low calorie diet as most you know and I feel like I have lost some weight, but wasnt sure how much..  I thought maybe less then 10 lbs..  Well I get to the scale and I step on, and to my suprise, in 15 days, I have lost 23.7 LBS, YES ALMOSt 24 LBS, I couldnt beleive it..  I was sooo happy, and it made my day!!!  My goal was to lose 30 before surgery, but now moving that to 40-45 lbs before surgery.. Thanks for all the comments and support, stay posted!!!

Daniel :)  23.7 LBS Lighter  LOL!! :)
