Went for my 1 year post op

I can believe it has been a whole year! I feel great! I went to see my dr. and I have lost 121lbs. I have lost more than that but I am fluctuating between 163 and 168. I have had NO problems and i dont snore anymore, my knees and hips never hurt, I can run!!! up the stairs and even run on the treadmill(this is something I have NEVER done!) He said my protien level was a little down and to keep putting in the meat first. My B6 level was high but everything else was picture perfrect!  I have maintained my weight for the last 2-3 months and the only issue I have is forcing myself to eat even if I am not hungry, have to get the 3 meals in. With my wife leaving it has left me depressed and I think thats why my appetite has been missing. All in all, I love that I had the surgery and I would do it again if I had too! I do have a small amount of skin I would like to get rid of, but its not enough to get a rash? I can work it out though, I think. Well guys, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for being there and the advice I continue to look for in this lockerroom!

Congrats Ben! you look great!

CONGRATS   BEN        Nick

Well done, Ben!! Keep up the great work and sorry to hear about the wife situation. I'm in the same boat and it does get tough at times. Hang in there and enjoy the new you!! Boner

Did your wife leave due to your wls, or was it just the straw that broke the camels back.  I ask because my wife and I fight constantly about stuff now,and it seems to be related to my surgery as well.

Well, she said she was unhappy with me and she wanted more? She also said that she resented me because I was able to get the surgery and she didnt get it. I odnt know, a lot of things are coming into the light now that we are seperated. All in all, she broke her promise we made on our wedding day and she doesnt want to go back, after I think about it, maybe I dont either. I am adjusting to being a single father and I can handle it. Anyway, thanks for the congrats!

Man you've done great and are looking good.  Keep up the good work. Sorry to hear about the wife deal. Hang in there buddy!

congratulations on yoru weight loss man...you've come a long way!! Scott
