200 Down!!

Welp, here it is. 200lbs gone forever. Better than 1/2 way to my VERY lofty goal I have for myself and we're only 6.5 months into the race. Yeah, the loss has slowed pretty siginificantly but  I am still more than happy with my progress to this point.  My wife and family are just a little happy with me. For all you people thinking about this surgery, what I can tell you is, this was the best possible thing I could have done for myself. I have: more energy,  stamina,  i'm in a better mood,  my wife now thinks she's married to an 18 year old nympho, ( 4 times in the past 36 hours with 2- 12 hour work shifts in between fellas !! ) ,  i sleep marvelously,  I don't snore anymore, I  fit in any chair I sit in,  people don't stare at me like i'm a circus freak anymore,  I DO NOT miss bad-for-you-food I barely ever feel guilty about eating anything did I happen to mention my wife is really happy with my progress and shows me? A lot. I owe my surgeon a big, wet sloppy smooch on his forehead. Instead, i'll shamelessly plug him here: William Todd Overcash, M.D. Ocala, Fl. 352.368.2828 :raises a glass dark with Maker's Mark: Here's to the next 144lbs. May they wander away from this carcass never to return.  And to absent companions...

And we dance: Way to go! Back into the 200's sometime this fall methinks.

200 pounds in less than 7 months is awesome.  You're going to have a heck of a first year.

UN-FREAKIN'-BELIEVABLE!!!!!  And the weight loss is pretty impressive, too!  Heh-heh...  Uber-Congrats!!!!!!!!!   

Congratulations!! Keep it Up!

(double entendre intended) Best Wishes- Dx

AWESOME!! Keep up that positive energy, and let this milestone propel you to your next milestone!  Don't forget that you are an inspiration to many, and you have already accomplished something others only dream of! --Dave

Thanks all for the kind words. It's been an interesting ride so far. Got out this weekend and got the yard done. WHOOO HOO!!!1! Mowed, edged, weedeated, raked, swept. Heck, i even spread some grass seed. Fellow post-ops: KEEP IT UP! Pre-Ops: Look what you have to look forward to!! Fence Riders: Get all your questions answered and Git Er Dun!!!
