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. :-)
