Day 163

Today is a milestone day for sure.  In less than 6 months since I had the Gastric Vertical Sleeve surgery, I have lost 100 Pounds.  Here is what I have also lost:

1) 10-12 Sizes in my waist
2) 4 Shirt Sizes going from a 4XLT-5XL to XLT
3) Underwear size from a 52-54 to a 40-42
4) My increased heart rate
5) My risk of diabetes

Here is what I have gained

1) More self-esteem
2) More confidence
3) More stamina
4) Higher Testosterone levels
5) A new girlfriend
6) A better outlook on life

I have gone from 355 to 255 in under 6 months...  I aim to lose at least 55 more pounds.  I KNOW I will do it.  It may take me the rest of this year to do so, but I will do it.

Until next time!

Day 145

Today I stepped on the scales as I always do every morning post surgery.  It showed that I weighed 259.2 Pounds.  This means that I now have lost 96 pounds.  I continue to be amazed at my progress.  I am now back to the weight I was in 1999 when I graduated High School.  I credit this weight loss to helping me not sustain further injury last night when I fell on wet pavement and busted my elbow open.  The laws of Physics indicate that had I had that extra 96 pounds on when I fell, I would have likely sustained greater injury to myself.  More Weight = More Inertia = greater impact with the ground.  My next post will be when I reach the milestone of losing 100 Pounds which might be within the next 7-10 days.
