Illusionalta 150 Posted September 4, 2012 I don't frequent the board enough there are so many wonderful stories, of success, so figured I'd share mine.. I had the operation on march 12th of this year, started at 347lbs pre op, now I'm 224lbs, and feel great.. My ideal weight is 190lbs but i want 215 or so.. to hit that in under a year is amazing.. It's been amazing, not much as a single issue, haven't even had any nausea since the first time I woke up from my surgery.. Eating has been a learning experience, since I was a big eater, and enjoyed food.. Now I cherish a ice cream sandwich every now and then.. I have bat loads more energy, and my job has benefited from my productivity.. I read a lot of treads on here bout eating, and stuff and they were a tremendous help.. And for that I thank you guys! Well anyway here's a before and a after... Thanks again... 32 JerseyGirl68, Izuri, funkeechiggen and 29 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggychic 1,405 Posted September 4, 2012 Quit dressing like a fat guy. You aren't one anymore my dear . You lost twenty years as well as the pounds. By the way....is your daughter betrothed yet? She's a super cuttiepie! How's she feel about adorable red heads? We could throw in a trust fund if we have to...and definitely a dog! 7 DreamsOfSkinny, Sleeved&Hopeful, Goodgonebad and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Illusionalta 150 Posted September 5, 2012 Ok google helped me , my biggest non scale victory is the activities I'm now able to partake in with my children , without dying.. We ride bikes , play soccer .. I'm not tired any more , I barely wanna goto sleep at night.. So the energy I have now in surplus for everyday life made it more than worth it! 10 Neese, SoReady219, kmwheel and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Illusionalta 150 Posted September 5, 2012 Non scale victory... & super congrats!! U look awesome!! A def inspiration for me Hey , this was a awesome thing.. Just the kick in the ass I needed.. I have no Ill effects , and live a normal life.. Granted I eat off the kids menu or me n my wife share a dinner at a fine restaurant.. But the minor mourning of food , isn't enough to make me have any regrets.. I'd love to whoof down a pizza pie again.. But I settle for a slice now.. 7 LessofKelly, Jolie_KeMi, iPrincess and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
