It has been a while!

Hey Guys!!

Well, I guess I have abandoned this site since my surgery.  I have been very busy with my more active lifestyle now.

I had GP on February 20th, 2009 (Dr. Gens).  I started this whole thing one year ago at 487 pounds!  I had to get to 455 the day of surgery and I was at 433.  I left the hospital at 426.  As of this morning I was at 355.    My waist went from a 56 to a 46 now.

The last month has been slow loss for me but I'm not discouraged because I feel incredible and I am very very active now.  I told my wife that if I stopped losing weight now I would be happy with the outcome of my surgery.

I have fluctuated in weight recently.  I really do not do anything differently in my diet as far as what I eat that may caused the fluctuation day by day,  I usually fluctuate by 6-8 pounds daily.  Does this happen to anyone else?

OK, well I just wanted to stop by and say hello.

See ya!!!

Hi Denny!

We were in Dr. Wagner's class together! Congratulations on your success. I can't answer your question about post-op weight fluctuations because I won't have surgery until this Friday!!!

Glad to hear you're doing so well

Noticed your date is quickly approaching Tracy! Best Wishes and see you soon on the losers bench!!

Hey Denny, nice to hear from you again.  Yes you can fluctuate that much on a daily basis.  That is why I don't weigh myself every day.  You are doing fantastic.  Keep up the good work.

Oh and HEY, come to a meeting sometime!!!!!

Awesome Denny!! Great to hear from you! Keep up the good work!

jeez denny. You must be so excited to get the help you finally needed. I haven't seen you in awhile but people have been talking about how great your doing. I'm going in for my surgery this monday. Yahoo. I can't wait.

Nice job Denny.  Keep up the good work.  I just had an appt with the nut and am doing well, too.  I've lost 57 pounds in 57 days.  Us men lose weight faster (which doesn't seem fair to the ladies).  I'm about half way to my goal and hope to achieve it by Xmas.  You're (we're) getting healthier by the day.  It's terrific!!
