Hey folks - just an update on my WL journey. I've lost a total of about 116 pounds so far since February 9 at my pre-op official weigh in. ( Down from 366 to 250 - Actually, I was at a high of about 385 back in Dec. 2007.)

Anyway, I was getting ready for work this morning when my wife said "Those pants look too big and baggy on you now - here, try these on."  She handed me a size 38, to which I replied "No way I'll fit my big butt in those!"
Well, she insisted I try them on and - HOLY COW, THEY FIT!!
I couldn't believe it!! I was wearing a size 50 back in February, and now - just 6 months later - I am comfortable in a size 38!!   I also now wear a XL (and even a L in some brands) shirt rather than a 3X !!

A lady at work took a few pics of me today to show her dad, whom she is wanting to have WLS.  I posted them on my profile.

WooWhooooo!!!!! THIS IS ONE GREAT RIDE!!!

Nothing tastes as good as being thinner feels.

I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm doing.

Thanks folks!! I already have so much more energy and feel much better. Playing with the grandkids is something I can now do without having to quit after 3 minutes, motorcycle trips are more enjoyable for both me an my wife, and I have started back in the gym on a regular basis, so hopefully I will see even more improvement. Yep - I'd have the surgery again without hesitation!!
