That's awesome! Congratulations!! -Infinity

I did not know that low levels of vitamin D made you tired. Hmm.... That was the only deficiency I had. The doctor put me on 50,000 mg for 8 weeks. (currently on week two) Does anyone use MyFittnespal.com? I have been using it for 4 days now. It's a ton easier than I thought it would be. Amazing to see all the nutritional info at the end of the day. Really puts things into perspective. -Infinity

I have decided to change one behavior a week. It feels easier to remember and accomplish. October 1st: I gave up all soda. Replaced them with Poweraid Zero. I find that I like it better if I cut it in half with Water and add two teaspoons of Splenda. October 7th: I started having a Protein shake for Breakfast and no snacking till lunch. October 14th (today): I started logging everything I eat on MyFittnespal.com I have also started wearing my Fitbit Flex (think fitness tracker on steroids). It's going to be interesting to see what my weeks looks like on "Paper!" So, any ideas on what my next few week changes should be? -Infinity

Not really. The surgeon that I have selected has been doing this for over 10 years. I'm pretty confident in his and his staffs abilities. They all seem to have a pretty great grasp on it. I have never been one to worry about surgery. I'm anxious. However I have a cruise scheduled for Thanksgiving, so that will sort of be my "last hoora(sp)!" I gave up all soda and sugary drinks on 10/01, I started having a shake for Breakfast and no snacking until lunch on 10/07. I have started walking with my wife. I'm just trying to change behaviors one at a time. Is there anything I should be scared about? B-) -Infinity

Guess this as good as any thread to introduce myself. I am a 27 year old happily married man. I have 2 beautiful daughters, 6 and 1. I am the GM at a large motorcycle dealership (300+ units on the floor). My surgery date is for December 30th at 5:15am, hence I chose this thread to post in first. I have always been the "big guy!" I am 6'4 and I weigh 404. It has not been until the last year or so that it has been hindering. I'm ready to fit in pant size that I can't even remember fitting in. When I was in 8th grade I was a 38. I would love to see 36, but most of all I would love to see my grandchildren, when they are born. -Infinity
