Your avatar makes me smile!! Look how much smaller your face is Looking good there Luke! I'm doing well, thanks. The greatest thing recently is my 7 year old son realized he can wrap his arms all the way around me for the first time in his life. I about died in the kitchen of happiness. Yay NSVs!!

Well, it's about time! Thanks for the usual amusing, thoughtful, and informative blog post!

Hey Mr. Stark!
Just wanted to see how you were doing and check in with you. Hope all is well buddy!!

Luke you look fabulous!

Wow i just saw a post you replied to and i gotta say that you look great!!! I just had to come to your profile and give you a cyber high 5!

With the knowledge you seem to have about proteins and such, What is your opinion on the Whey Protein shots? I was thinking of using these after my sleeve but I have heard a lot of conflicting information about the type of protein being either absorbable or not.

Thank you so much for posting the blog about protein! It was very informative and it was information I have been needing. I will be sleeved in 27 days and have also been reading all the threads and such and they are very confusing. Thanks again and you do look great!

Dude - post on your blog and let us know how it is going!!

luke where are you

Where ya been, dude? Hope everything's still going well for you!

Lurking...hoping for a new blog post to see how you are doing!

Luke your post about stalls was hilariously funny.. Had me laughing out loud and reading it to my husband who had a gastric band back in 2007 and lost half his body weight so much so when I saw him again I didn't recognise him. Anyway thanks for the encouraging post. I think my body is rearranging the garage hoping it will have a yard sale shortly... Thanks for the great laugh and my husband said something very funny about errr kneecaps too.. And I know we all identify with that no matter male or female ! Certainly sounds like you are a success story ..take care and again thanks

U are too kind, thank u! It was hiding.....lol! Have a good week! Hope u enjoyed Father's Day with your family.

I feel great! Thanks for asking! I was a little sluggish earlier in the week, but seem to be getting my energy back. Had my first NSV in the form of what could have been a very embarrassing moment. I put my phone in the pocket of the pants I was wearing yesterday and the weight of the phone pulled my pants down Thankfully I was at home and not in public! I realized that I could easily take them off without unbuttoning/zipping them. So this morning I tried on a pair that I haven't been able to wear since last summer and they fit perfect- even a bit loose. Woo hoo!

eta: it dawned on me when I re-read this that even being able to put my phone in my pants pocket was an NSV in itself. I don't think I've been able to do that for a LONG time- my pants are always too tight. Woot!
