Five Months Post Surgery

Wow, it will be five months since my surgery tomorrow.  Sunday, today, is my weekly weigh-in and I weighed 196.4 which is a total loss of 83.4 pounds since I started this journey.  This has been a turn around month for me.  My problems with strictures and not being able to eat finally seem to have subsided and I am able to eat normal amounts for an rny-er at five months.  I seem to have a reasonable tolerance of sugar but any full portion of sweets will cause me to dump which is a good thing but it does allow me to execise the three bite rule on a scrumptious looking desert. 

Also while my diabetes is under control any carb laden meals will cause the numbers to spike and in a sense that is good also as it give me natural limitations as I move forward on this journey.

Finally I really need to concentrate on some serious body building to do something about my puny muscles.  My wife has started to cal. me Sam (scrawny a$$ man) amd for now she is right but that too will change.

Hope everyone has a great week!!

Nice transformation!  Good for you! Keep up the good work!

Congrats.  Your sucesses are high for 5 months..  I'am hovering around 200lbs 86lbs down at my 9th month.  I put on a few lbs of lean and am carrying a lot of water weight.

Feels good to get into 35-36" jeans.
Good luck

Have to confess to picking up a couple lbs this week.  Wroops!

However made run to Rock City with the honey last weekend thus the shirt.

Great new pic.  What a difference!

Congrats to ya! Great job thus far. Hit the gym for some weight training about 3 to 4 days a week and she'll be calling you Buff before long!
