Report on the Shrinking Nerd

Hi all
My hubby shrinking nerd doesn't come on OH much so as an OH addict I have to report on his status. He is now down 88 lbs since surgery for a total of 129 lbs since he started the journey. (more than I weigh now). His bmi is now below 35 so he is merely obese and not mega obese or whatever the 35plus category is. I thought 40 and above was morbidly obese. Anyway, its a milestone. 

He also saw the doc and is dehydrated again and so we are making a big effort to fix that and also get more green veggies in him without sacrificing protein. always the balancing act. I think he is doing great and am so proud of his progress.    Diane

Glad he is doing so well, Diane.  We all remember hitting those milestones and the great feeling it gave us!

Some people might not support my WLS decision. 
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
