14 weeks out and down 103lbs
So I had the VSG on 12-29-10 and am now down 103lbs. Granted I started out at 421, so I still have a long way to go, but, honestly, just a few months ago I would have never thought I would lose 100lbs by any means. Even though I am still very obese by most standards I feel a lot better compared to how I was, I feel more "normal". I started weight lifting after about a month and now do weight training 3x a week and intervals on the eliptical. I think running intervals is what is really kinda "turbo charged" my losing lately. I still hate going to the gym and I still hate doing cardio, buy I am liking the results too much to give up. I am hoping that even as the results wain I'll have devoloped a habit of working out that superceeds my desire to sit around. Heres to the next 100lbs!
Nice progress! Keep it up

Congrats! Looks like we're on the same path - working hard as hell and having it show up in major weight loss. I started about 2 weeks ahead of you w/ my VSG on 11/24 - I'm down 115 lbs. as of today. I wll enjoy "braggin' rights" at the WLS support group tonight. You "keys" and mine are the same - work hard, sweat, hurt, ache, ***** (take a pill, if necessary) and then work harder. I'm 65 and I know there's no magic "weight fairy" who's going to sprinkle non-carb diet dust all over my ass to make me thinner. Sleevie & me - we've got to do it together.
I'm leaving soon for a week in the sun on the beach and golf course in ***** Cana - I'll be a smaller whale this year, and a much happier one. Keep it going!

Do work son!
Seriously nice job. I know what you are saying about loosing a ton of weight and still being fat. We had very similar starting weights I was 423 and I am down to about 315 right now. For me I get upset at times thinking. I have worked hard cut over 100 lbs but still very unhappy with how I look in the mirror.
Keep at it and I am sure we will get to our goals soon enough.
