Three Easters ago, I started my pre-op diet for gastric sleeve surgery on 4/15/2013, and nothing has been the same since. I started at over 350 lbs, and lost 140 lbs by the end of the year 2013, and have maintained it ever since. I recently turned sixty, and one of my gifts was a book of my life, with pictures from the time I was born until the present. After the age of thirty, it seemed like I got fatter and fatter every year; it was hard to keep turning the pages. The last three years, not only

I am sitting at work, and just met someone for the first time who works for the same agency, and we were talking about a mutual acquaintance. I am now a normal weight person, even thin, and the person I was talking to, referred to the other person as a big fat guy. Should I say something, or just keep my mouth shut?

Eight months ago today I had my surgery, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results; except I miss my butt. As someone who has gone through their life with a huge ass, I was expecting to like having a much smaller one, but not expecting to have it disappear altogether. But it has, I literally have two bones where my butt used to be. I have gone from always having the crack of my butt make an appearance and being told crack kills, to being called droopy drawers by my wife, and having friends

Eight months out, and still feel queasy when I eat food. I hear it sometimes takes a year before you are completely used to eating with your new stomach. I hope that this is not permanent, everything else is great.
