I began 2013 taking a long look in the mirror. Weighing 440 pounds, I was miserable, had no confidence, was at a crossroads. I took it upon myself to get this surgery, and was the best decision of my life. I end 2013 at 259 pounds, 181 lost to date. I'm happier and more confident than I've ever been. I've gone from a 4-6x to an XL-3x shirt, size 56 to size 38 pants, it's turned my life around. As invaluable as the surgery has been, there's no question the diet, exercise and lifestyle changes are
Today is 70 days from my surgery, 10 weeks since surgery, and things are going quite well. I weighed in this morning at 344.6. 95.4 pounds lost since I started my Pre-op diet.

Right now, me and my sleeve are definitely not friends. I had a relatively easy 7.5 weeks from surgery to this point. About a week and a half to start feeling myself again, been great with my diet, and down a little over 85 pounds in my journey. Also, I've been working out 3x a week with high intensity cardio training, I'm more active, and things have been good.
But that's where the good ends. The last few days, as I've been introducing regular foods back into my diet, I find
Well today marks 7 weeks since I had my surgery, and the weight loss has been very encouraging. I'm down 47 pounds since surgery, 85 in total since I started my 30 day pre-op diet. Crazy! I've never lost this much weight this quickly. Ive gone from weighing daily to weekly because stalls and periods of frustration have been mixed in on this journey, but you can't argue with results.
I am 6'1, started this journey 440 pounds, I've gone from size 56 pants to some old pairs of 48
