Over 7 Months Post-Op!
Hello My Fellow MN OH'ers!
I am over seven month's post-op, and I am down 158 pounds (I weigh 222 pounds and I have 37 pounds left to reach my goal weight). Here is a graph that my personal physician plotted out for me during my visit to see him on 06/04/2009:
I work out almost every day and have been increasing the intensity of my workouts in order to stay at an aerobic level. Currently, I am jogging for 30 minutes on the treadmill every other workout, and using an eliptical rider on the alternate days.
I am very happy with being able to jog again on the treadmill, and I plan on "graduating" to jogging out on the open road soon. I am SO looking forward to this, since I work in Seattle (lots of beautiful jogging trails) and live in Minnesota (with a lot of nice parks and trails there too).
Here are three pictures I took in June, 2009 (my 7 month's post-op pictures).

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Alan,
Way to go! I have to say that you have taken at least 10 years off. There is no way you'd be old enough to have a child graduate from high school.
Fantastic job! Keep it up! And be sure to let me know when you are in the cities again. I've had such a crazy few months that I've sort of dropped off the planet. Now that things have settled for me, I want to reconnect with my support system.
Keep it up Alan!
