Hello Everyone, Wow I can't believe I havent written in so long. Time sure can get away from you . I have lost 105lbs so far. I can't believe how good I feel. Finally get to eat a little fruit and veggies. Thank goodness I was getting bored with just the protein. Promise to write more soon.

Well went to my first follow up. All is well Dr. Says my weight loss is going well. I'm feeling better every day. I'm so glad I did this. It is worth it. Oh also got the hospital bill today. 84K wow I didnt think it was that much. Oh well thank god for Blue cross. More later. Bye all , keep up the losing.

Well week two is rapidly coming to an end. My family and I have joined a local Gym. It is nice go all go work out together. It good for me and good for us as a family. Healing nicely, will be able to add chicken and turkey this week.will be a nice change. Down to 371lbs. BMI at 51.7 down 9.1 points. Feels good. More soon.

Well, day two back at work. Seems to be going pretty good. Get a little tired in the afternoon. So I go home at 1:00 don't want to push it too hard. I'm adjusting very well I believe. Diane and all the staff at SRMC WLSC are very supportive. I feel I'm in very good hands. My life is changing very fast. And I'd like to thank my Beautiful wife Jessica for being here for me. I'm look forward to many more years with her due to the health benifits of this surgery. She is my guide post, my light. I love her Dearly. Thank you Sass.

Finally made it thru the liquid diet. If I never see chicken broth again it will be too soon. Got to move on to stage two today. Protein, beans, cheese, eggs, protein drinks. Thank god something to give me some energy. Todate I have lost 65.8lbs. I'm very excited. Write more soon.

Hello Everyone, wow what a week. Surgery went well, accept  some internal bleeding they had to patch up at the end. Dr Nicoles is a very good surgeon. Well I went in an hour after my scheduled time. But you know how hospitals can be.  The nursing was very good. I'm not having too much pain, I am tired a lot. but just having broth and jello and water doesn't add up to a lot of energy. I will go in Monday and have a nutrition class. I should be able  to add some protein to my diet. I have 5 little wounds and a spot where the drain was, thank God I didn't have to have it open. I'm very happy its done. And can't wait to start seeing results. Will keep you posted. Will go for now, getting tired. Talk to you all soon.

Well here we are, D-day. It seems like it came fast now that it is here. Wish me luck. Will write with all the details when I get home. Thanks to all who have helped me. You know who you are. Bye for now.

Well, we went to SRMC today and finished the preop testing. Here  we go 5 days and counting. Payed all the out of pocket the insurance required. All there is left is to show  up on Sept 4th. Whew what a journey. The longest on-ramp I've ever seen now it is time to hit the highway of my new life. I  can't believe I'm going to be thin for the first time since I was a teenager. It seems so weird, its finally time. Its been a long hard battle. Thank you to all who have helped.

Well its Aug 27th one day closer to my surgery. Appt with the Dr.  on Wed, then thur to the hospital to do all preop. Pretty exciting stuff. Still set for the 4th keep waiting for something to go wrong. It wont it just feels right. My wife Jess is so awesome she has been right beside me every step of the way. Except for some of those late night walks.....jk.  We is a doll. I love her dearly. It is nice to have her by my side and all of you for support too. Thank you all. Will keep you in formed. To date I have lost 44lbs.  Wish me luck.
