I am almost one year out!! Get Excited for me  I know i am . Listen it has been a crazy ride for me and this gastric bypass adventure iv been on. Iv been sick iv been tired iv been hurting and sad and happy and pissed off and a slue of other emotions this year but i am ALIVE. I shop in the normal clothing stores strangers tell me that i look good when im rockin the hell out of a new suit. Now ya boy always knew he looked good but now everybody knows ya boy look good. I am at the happiest point in my life right now and i would do it 1000x again if need be. This week found out that i might be hypoglycemic (sorry i cant spell) but its OK tho i can tolerate alittle sweets not much so its not that bad. i have the craziest problems now tho my blood pressure was 90/60 too low my cholesterol bad was too low my blood sugar is too low my red and white blood count too low heart rate too low. LoL who would have ever thought that my big ol behind would have too low of anything. but its all fixable and alot better then what could have happened of if didnt have the surgery. i owe my live to my Dr's and nurses  so i will end this today by saying i am back and will be updating and chatting on a regular basis i love you all god bless.

It feels great to be able to walk in any store and get clothes i am in a 2x or XL shirt. I haven't bought a new suit yet but it is on the way. I will have updated pictures in a little bit as well as a before and after. Well I will talk to yall later

Hi fokes

Well the wight loss is starting to slow down but it was expected. The problem with me now is that I am not exercising like I am supposed too. I only do it 2 or 3x a week now. So now i have to get my everyday routine back of getting on the treadmill. I am down 125 pounds and I feel great!!! Lots of sagging skin so i am now looking for plastic surgeons to take care of that for me. Dr Giovanni will more then likely do my tummy tuck. Sense the last time I wrote my wife bought me size 46 Pants well they are now too big I can pull them over my belly. Great health full of energy I actually run on the treadmill I run up stairs and life is great!!

Hi all

Last night my wife and I went out pants shopping. I went from a 54 in the waist under my stomach to a 44-46!! When I wear them over my belly i am only a 48-50!! I am very happy about that. I was so surprised at how a 46 fits on me. I am so excited because this means i can get my pants from a normal store i dont have to pay way more to go to a big and tall store! I went from a 5x shirt down to a 2-3x i just now have a lot of flab. I am looking to have surgery to get rid of it all next spring!!

Friday Oct 3rd I got married. IT was amazing the best day of my life. we had a blast i love my wife she looked so beautiful!!! I lost 100 pounds and gained a beautiful wife. We went to punta cana in Dominican Republic. Had a wonderful time. I want to thank my OH family for being with me and for the support.

HI all i am down 100 pounds and i feel great!!!! I have alot of stomach left but i feel wonderful. I would have never thought that in 4 months i would be down 100 pounds. I am so proud of my self and i am looking foward to having a body lift next spring!!!! No health problems. No MORE ACHES AND PAINS NO MORE SHORTNESS OF BREATH NO MORE BORDERLINE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE I AM SOOO HAPPY  WITH THE WAY I FEEL AND THE WAY I LOOK.

Hi all

I am now 97 pounds gone!!! But i must say that i am alittle disappointed. I have lost a lot of weight and i feel very very very different but i think i dont look slim enough to have lost such a great amount of weight. Now i know that is a very incredible thing to do in a 4 month time frame. Honestly I wanted more of my stomach to be gone. But i am very grateful of what i have done. I am eating about 5 -6 times a day eating something small every few hours. My energy levels are at 85% i am sleeping alot better at night so i require less sleep. On another note i just had a birthday on Friday the 19th (old man here) HA! Most of all it is almost that time!! Getting married in 10 days WOW TEN DAYS i haven't been nervous this entire time but now i think it is starting to hit me. When we first got engaged i remember the countdown being at around 700 days now to be at only 10 alittle scary. I think its all going to go off with out a hitch! looking forward to showing off some of my new body in DR as long as the island is still standing!! I will update next week before the wedding!

Hello all!!  When i had wls i was out of work for 3 weeks then i tried to work and only made it a week before my company laid me off. which wasn't a very bad thing. Honestly i did not feel up to going to work. that first week back i felt horrible. I laid low for a little while and now i have a new job and i started Monday. The only bad thing about it is that my office is alittle over an hour away. but hey i am back to work!! this has been a good thing because now i am on a defined eating scheduled of eating about every 2 hours. i have my meal then 2 hours later fruit mostly a few grapes then a meal and that's how it goes until about 2 hours before i  leave the office then i have a 3 hour break i go home and eat dinner with my (soon to be) wife. i feel great as of today i am 90 pounds down and i feel FANTASTIC!! Now i have to get in the mood of getting up at 6 am to get to the gym at least 3 mornings a week. Well back to work now. Talk to yall later

Today is 3 months out!! I am so Excited!! I thought i would take a moment and reflect on my journey. i went to a seminar on valentines day of this year and that's when i met Dr's Pohl and Giovanni. that same day i had to go to the sleep clinic to be tested for sleep apnea which i had. in march i had my first appointment with Dr Giovanni and i really liked her she went over all of the things needed before she could do the surgery by the end of march i had went to 5 or 6 different Dr's and specialist. after all those appointments i met with Dr Giovanni again in April and all the test came back good and a week later i got a date of May 27th at 10am. i remember going into that room with not my highest weight of 434 pounds ...............i wake up in recovery 5 or 6 hours later. They kind of pissed me off because i was groggy and i just had to have the open rny because my muscles where too thick mind you i am 6foot 5 they cranked the bed all the way to the floor and told me to get up and walk to my room after 1 hr of recovery some how i managed that and i was fine. i was in the hospital until the 31st and on my way to recovery on the losers side. in the last 3 months i have lost almost 90 pounds. honestly this was the hardest thing i have ever done in my life. I have been hurt i have had surgery on my knee and shoulder but that was nothing. I have heard people in the past say that this was the easy way out bull crap!! I say that because you go to the gym you work out you sweat you might be alittle sore for awhile but the next day your fine. NO Sir not with this. Everyday is a different struggle of something kind from being sore on my cuts having what i call "phantom pains" throwing up and not feeling well. but you know what i am 90 pounds lighter i feel better i look better and i have a better attitude about myself and life. would i do it again yes in a heart beat!!!! I am looking forward to loosing more wight and going shopping if your reading this and haven't had surgery then know it is not easy. Do not go in thinking this is easy. This will be one of if not the most toughest thing you have ever done in your life but you will love it and most of all you will love you!! Talk to yall Later
