Four months ago today

I have shrunk all the way down to XLT from a 3 or 4 XLT.  I don't think I will be getting that much shorter any time soon.  I am only (only) 6'1", but I have short little legs, so the top half of me is in the tall or long range. 

King Size Direct is a crap shoot. I have gotten stuff from them that is awful, and other stuff that is incredible for the price.  The local Destination XL store is great for a lot of stuff, but not everything.  Walmart clothes are starting to fit, but they are Walmart clothes - fine for temporary use, but not for the long term.  

Hi Bill! I 'know' you from another online forum...

you look great! you are doing the work, and it's paying off.

I am just getting going on a reset and then recommitment to my bariatric lifestyle. I have fallen off bad and have about 25 lb regain. my own fault. long story.

anyway, stay the course because you are looking awesome and doing awesome. I think your goal is very realistic and obtainable!!!

Thanks LittleBill for posting this. I, too, lost a lot of weight prior to surgery and have been struggling with my decision. I'm 7 weeks out of surgery and my weight loss is going slow. Reading your story made me feel better about my decision.  Thanks again. 

Wow, LittleBill, that was an excellent and inspirational post. That is so awesome that you have a wonderful and supportive spouse too. You're lucky to have her, but I am sure she is lucky to have you too. Keep on, keeping on. 

Thank you for writing this... your last paragraph ha**** home it's almost surgery time and I'm scared and I was having second thoughts I'm also afraid of not waking up.  This made me feel not alone.  You look great and keep up the good work

Thank you all for you kind words, encouragement, and other comments. I am always glad to share my experiences, especially if they will help someone else out. 

Dang Little Bill - you brought tears to my eyes!

Congratulations on all your NSV's and your great weight loss!

You, as many others here, inspire us newbies.

Thanks for sharing and you look good cowboy!

Congratulations Bill! I have my 4 month follow up tomorrow. 1/2 pound from 50 pounds. That's 10 pounds over my surgeons 6 month goal...I didn't have to lose weight pre op. 

 Thanks LittleBill, I needed to read this.  I'm scared $#*&less! 

I am scheduled to remove by lapband on March 16 and hopefully be revised to sleeve... I was scared 12 years ago and now I'm older, and even more.afraid of surgery...but don't want to be held back anymore. I can do this!

YOU CAN DO THIS my3angels
