It was one year yesterday

One year since surgery for me as of yesterday.  My highest weight was 294 (on a 5'10" frame) and my weight the day of surgery was down to 289. As of yesterday I was at 173 with my low being 170.  It's hovered in that range for about the last four months, so I guess this is my permanent weight.   In twelve months I've gone from a size 46 waist to a 32.   I had sleep apnea--it's gone.  My blood pressure is low normal.  My cholesterol is in the low 100s.  My good cholesterol is up.  I do 40 minutes a day on an elliptical, I do 140 crunches a day, weights three times a week,  and I can now do 21 chin ups every other day. Though I haven't posted here much in recent months, I want to say that this place has been a godsend for me.  It was the advice and fellowship here that got me through the hell that is the first couple of months, and I just wanted to share my progress and thank you all for the support. Cheers, fellas!

Congratulations on your great success.   Floyd

Thanks for sharing your success.  It really helps those of us in your wake to stay on course and keep motivated that the carrot on the end of the stick is attainable.

Congrats on the anniversary.  Sounds like you are doing great!   Damn, a size 32 waist.  That's unbelievable! Keep up the good work! Scott M

WOW!  What an inspiration..............and congrats on how well things are going now.  For one who is inching ever closer to surgery, it's great to have another illustration of just what is possible. Keep it off, you big loser! Bill
