15 months later

Hi People On March 1 it made 15 months since I had weight loss surgery.My starting weight was 565 lbs and my highest weight (recorded) was 598 lbs.I sit here now and as I type this I weigh 307 lbs.What a difference,I have been so blessed and can do almost anything now.I can walk,run,swim,sit in movie chairs,sit in an airplane without feeling squashed,and so much more.I just turned 45 last month and I feel like a 30 year old man.I was always tired and slept alot and my God did I eat a lot.I was always home and now i'm never home.I have met a couple nice girls in the last 5 months and I am still close to one of them.We really had a great summer I was at her house every weekend for 12 weeks until her boyfriend got out of jail.lol... isn't that awful? But she is a close friend of mine and we have a kinship.well enough about me,how the heck are you guys doing? Have a great day.......steve c

Hi Steve, Sounds like you are really enjoying your life. Good. My daughter takes up most of my spare time. When I'm not working, shopping, cleaning my home, I'm tending to her. I don't have any time for me anymore. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. I don't have time to exercise at all any more. I just eat what is fast and easy. I try to always eat protein first. Sometime, though, an apple has to suffice. Or a protein bar on the go, or protein crackers. No weight gain, thank heavens, but no loss either. I guess I'm done. I've been taking Omega 3 for dry hair, and have noticed that my skin is beginning to suffer, so I'm going to add E as well. Joe and I don't see each other as much as we'd like, between his working 60-80 hrs a week and my being with my daughter, but we try to make the most of what we do have. I guess that's all any one can do. Nona

Hi Nona You work too much but I know it is necessary in this high cost world of ours.I am 45 and I'm starting college in the fall.I can't believe that I am doing it,so many wasted years but that is the past.I hope you have a great weekend..................steve c

Hey Stephen! I can't believe that I am 31 (32 in April) when I look at myself in the mirror. I feel better than I ever remember feeling! I play tennis a good bit, I can easily fit into desks at school...I don't remember ever feeling comfortable doing that (even in grade school). I have so much more energy and I can play with my kids now without getting exhausted in 10 minutes. We have all worked really hard and everyday I am still amazed! ~Rachel
