2 months out..down 52 pounds

[redfish 1]

I weighed myself yesterday morning and i am down from 341 to 289. I need to lose 98 more pounds to reach my personal goal of 150 pounds total weight loss. My doc wants to to get down to 180..but i doubt that ever happens. LOL. Really, if i weigh anywhere near 200, i will be happy.

I am a 49 year old man 6 ft 3. This is the best decision i ever made, if you're thinking about the surgery, DO IT. You won't regret it. I am going to try to eat some raw fruits and veggies this month for more Fiber. I bought a set of weights and an exercise bike, i think Santa might bring me a real bike for Christmas. (fingers-crossed)

My surgeon was Dr. Keith Kim..Orlando, Florida. Great job all the way around. I eat mostly deli meats from Publix, Greek yogurt and drink plenty of Water. My supplements are as follows:

Multivitamin with Iron

CQ10

Omega fish oil

B-12

Calcium with Vitamin D

Probiotics

Fiber

I get all this stuff from GNC.< /p>

Anyway, all i can say is it really works. My NUT says i will lose weight slower now, but that's ok. I'm in this for life. Good luck to everyone.
