A Year ago on the 18th........
WOW!! 
hooda thunkit? I would be 266lbs lighter than I am now?? I started on Jan of '05 but surgery was on the 18th. of August.......was still in hospital on the day Katrina hit, I will remember both at same time!!.. I would have announced my "RE" birthday, but I was in the hospital having yet another surgery. On an infected stitch under my incision. Went in on Sunday, got cut open on Monday morning, out by Thursday afternoon. 
The hospital was GREAT but they had no clue on bariatric's diet or what they eat, how they eat, or what they shouldn't eat. I was in a Wound Care Specialist's hospital. Infact, my surgeon is rated in the top 10 in the NATION !. So I was more worried about the wound care than I was the foods!. I ate alot of grilled chicken salads & crackers for lunch & dinners.! Now I have another hole in my belly about the size of a 1/2 dollar and about 1 1/2 in deep, open.....packed and waiting to heal from the bottom up.......again, for the 3rd time (different spot) 
But I'm doing ok, just aggravated!!

Hi and welcome to the board! Its about time we had some testosterone
around here! 
Congratulations on your weight loss so far- I know you are still working on it- albeit it from another hospital bed..but imagine this if you will - what shape would you be in without that weight loss- and going into surgery - what would those odds look like?
You are very impressive with # 266lbs lost to date- but remember this- you are more
than a number on a scale..your health and fitness are your keys to living life..
So I 
to your success 
and wish you all the best in your
continued journey.. May God continue to bless you in abundance.
Hugs,
Donna Most Active
