Update: 12 weeks out and down 50lbs

Hi guys, new pics on the profile.  I should change the avatar soon as well. I'm 12 weeks out, down about 50lbs since surgery, down about 62lbs  from my all time high of 312.  I'm 251 today and hoping to drop about 61 more pounds in the next 6 months or so to reach a goal of 190.   It has been a fun ride so far, I'm feeling much better, flying much easier and liking the idea that I'm back to buying clothes in regular stores.   Sex is great, and I've lost all interest in sweets.  I can actually bend over and plant things in the garden, weed, and putter around without the gut trying to knock me over.  I haven't checked labs since surgery, but I'm off all meds.  Just vitamins now. Lookswise, I have lost my ass entirely (it runs in my family.  we all have flat asses,) but it looks like I'm still holding onto the gut (for awhile at least) as well as my MOOBS.  I smell some plastic surgery in about a year from now. Thanks to all you guys for the support along the way! Ken

Looking five years younger already Ken! Congrats!

Hey Ken, Great job man - your pics look awesome.   You can really tell a difference - you must be thrilled!!!!! Keep it up bud, and you'll be at goal before you know it. Chuck

To lose that much that fast,...you sure you didn't already cut something else off you ain't tellin us about???

Way to go!!  I'm about the same size as you, also look alittle like you in size and weight .  Again don't buy the new cloths yet if you can.  The pounds will continue to drop off.  I was 6 months out yesterday.  I'm now down to 194.  I too want to get to 190.  Hope to soon.  I'm in size 36 pants!!  I haven't worn 36 since I was in high school.  I am the same way about my ass.  Mine disappeared too.  The stomach will go soon.  Aagain way to go.  Brian
