Long Time No See

Oct 10, 2011

Wow, talk about being gone for a while.  It seems like yesterday I was one on the forum looking for help and advice.  I am now 3.5 years post op and I have managed to keep off half of what I lost.  I started out at 367, lost down to 210 and I am now a very comfortable 280.  I have had plastic surgery and have to stomach of a 21 year old now = hard as a rock.  I can wear 42 jeans, tuck in my shirt and have my waist look much smaller than my stomach.  I work out 4-5 days a week  about 30-60 minutes and I have the energy of a young buck, both in and outside of the bedroom.  Life is great, I would love to get back down to 210, but honestly, I was really working out and running like crazy 6-7 days a week, 2 hours of workouts a day.  Not really normal by any means.  I am on NO meds of any kind except for B12 shots, fish oil, multivitamins, and calcium citrate.  I can eat pretty much anything I want, just kid size portions.  It is nice having the security of a small pouch so you can't overindulge.  Nice to know I will have that forever.  

It is crazy, the other night I was out with some friends prior to going to a college football game and one of the guys actually put down 3 of those mammoth size $6 burgers from Hardees, plus fries, and a large Coke.  I was totally floored and dismayed.  It was all I could do to eat the $1 burger, half of a medium fry, and half of a medium Coke.  That instance just reminded me of how great life was.   

All in all, things worked out really good for me.  One of the BEST LIFE SAVING DECISIONS I EVER MADE.  :-)
