Punched the double Century club in the mouth!
It's official, lost over 200 pounds in 8.5 months!
I still have the damn leak and loads of complications. But weighing in at 252lbs after 460 - is at least in my mind worth it.
Just over 30 pounds until goal, I may even shoot for an even 200lbs. I am getting a lot of female attention these days too (really wierd as it's been years since that has happened). Problem is; What do I tell them? Hey babe! I'll let you squeeze my JP accordion drains....I can't wait until all the BS is out of my stomach and I can really enjoy my new "girlish figure".
My BMI is just 1.4 above being overweight - I am 6'3, large frame and wear size 15 shoes (they didn't shrink). So I would like to have a chat with the morons who think I should weigh 170-185lbs. I'm back into size 38 pants and the saggy skin is not nearly as bad as I was expecting.
Found this pic on Facebook - I know we can all relate...
Cheers, Jason

Congrats on the weight loss! For some reason I thought your leak had healed. I am praying that it will go ahead and heal for you soon. 8 months of those drains must be a pain.
Holy Moly Jason, that's an average about 23 lbs a month, awesome job, man.... So sorry to hear you are still battling with a leak, I had no idea, they could go on that long, so glad you have such a great attitude in spite of that complication! Most of my weight loss so far was pre op in my 6 month ins. class. I am trying to punch thru the same mark too, soon I hope, I would love to have you post; a typical days worth of food, such as; calories, carbs, protein, water and such. Keep up the great work and I really hope you can say goodbye to these complications, real soon....
Edit... Opps: meant to say trying to push thru into the 200's
