Wow, after uploading pics from today I started looking at pics on my computer from Easter last year. It's amazing how big of a difference there is in pics of me between then and now. What a difference a year can make between the pics, as I can see a HUGE different in my face, etc... It's been 8 months since surgery, and I've lost about 90 lbs so far. I'm no longer taking blood pressure medication, I'm down 3 pant sizes (and they're getting big), down 2 shirt sizes, etc. I just can't believe that I waited so long to start my weight loss journey!
Also: I edited the the "Subject" of my post to "Wow, 8 months post-op". I realized that putting "what a difference a year can make" implied that I was at my one year surgiversary. With the remark about a year I was just comparing myself to a pic from Easter a year ago.
Easter 2010 (around 380 lbs-it's a wierd looking pic cause I'm bent over to get down by my niece)
and Easter 2011 (290 lbs)

Thanks Tom, but you're the one that has inspired many!
That is awesome David! Thanks for sharing! Isn't it a great feeling when clothes start being too big? I just a month ago bought the dress pants I wore Easter Sunday(yesterday)and the are already starting to fall lower on the waistline than they are supposed to! Love it! You look great! I bet you feel great too! Keep up the great work!
Tom I love your comment about re-birth! It is SO fitting! Thank you for saying it that way!
