Oh and how it sucks, I am not sure if this is from the surgery but I am worn down out of energy etc. Maybe it is the tent living with 99 of my closest pals? Or taking a shower in a metal box with 6 of my closest pals? Could it be the thought of winter fast approaching where it snows all the time and I am in a tent filled with holes. Did I mention we are on cots? Not sure the money is worth the effort anymore. Maybe it would be better off selling the house and all the expensive stuff and moving into a single wide and living off the free cheese?

Well I am down to about 250 lbs, I need to update some pictures but I am in Iraq in downtown Baghdad. So it is a bit hard to do. I hope everyone is well. I am feeling good. I will try to update more soon when I have some more time.

Well I am not into a size 42 inch waste and I have broken the 300 pound barrier I weigh I went to doctor on Friday and weighed 294 that was with all clothes and shoes on. I now can buy clothes at normal places like sams. Well just figured it was time for a quick up. Still Loosing which is a good thing. Almost a year and I have lost 182 lbs.

I forgot to add some WoW's. So here goes.

1. I am in size 44-46 waste pants I have wore size 60 before. I have always been able to wear my weight well I guess it is something you learn growing up fat

2. I can drive a tiny car without it leaning towards the side I am sitting in.
3. I am only 21 lbs from breaking into the 200's. My goal is 209 which is another 112lbs away seems like it will not happen or take a long time but I would be super happy with 225lbs.
4. My BMI is now 43.5 instead of 60.7 that is a good thing.

Well I hope I can make it to a normal bmi but I am sure what I have done so far as added years to my life. I plan on getting a real job and let my business run them self’s. I hope me being a smaller guy will help with getting hired. Since I know the one I went on when I weighed 460 was the reason I was not hired,

Went and seen my PCP today I have now weaned myself off all of my antidepressants, When I weighed there of course with clothes on I tried to strip down to my boxers but there was to many ladies around so they would not let me since that is how I do it when I go to Dr.Marvin's office it is funny when I go there they tell me to take my shoes and socks off by the time they turn around I am down to my boxers “hehe” but back to my weight well with all clothes on and shoes etc I weighed 321 that is -155 since the start. Just figured I would share. It feels good. I hope everyone else is doing fine. But I lost 20 lbs in a month and a half so I am still losing. Slowing up but still losing.

Well it has been a while since I have stopped in so figured I would stop in say Hi and give 6 month update.

Went to the doctor other day 336 LBS as of 6 Months.

Started at 468.

So that is -132 since I started. 

Bad part is the afternoon of doctor visit I started feeling dizzy next day I called doctor back I had to go downtown Houston to emergency room. Lucky they pumped me full of fluids said I was dehydrated and gave me some Meclizine and phenergan. They think it was a virus that is going around. Still a little dizzy but they sent me with same stuff for scripts do feeling better told me just to take it easy. They took some x-rays to make sure everything was flowing right. I told them it was nothing like when my old stomach was retaining fluid and they had to open me up.  Well I hope everyone else is doing fine. Do not like the new look of the boards but not to many like change.

Will see all of you around till next time.

Well by the doctor's scale I am at 375 not as much as I would like but I am losing about 3 pounds a week. Well now that is out of the way I had some abdominal pain around the gallbladder area the day before I went to check up. Well the doctor was not there and the pa seen me, she seemed to think it was just a pulled muscle. Well she tells me to call back if the pain keeps up, the pain was not there today but the doctor had his staff call and order a ultrasound and blood work stat. So I had those done today and have to drive back downtown in the morning to see the outcome. I never knew really what stat meant till I walked into the place where they did the ultrasound 20 people sitting in there and they escort me to the back to a room and wham the test is done in 20 minutes. Well guess I will update after tomorrow.

 

Well I started at 468 LBS I am down to about 370 in 9 weeks if my math is correct. That is on my home scale so I seem to be doing good. Eating is sometimes hard like tonight I cooked but only ate half of a beef fajita taco on low carb tortilla. Then I just sat and stared at my plate. Not much of a meat eater since I had surgery before it was all I ate. If i eat meat it seems to not to go down very well and sometimes I get the foamies.
