Better late than never...

[Chris P Bacon 46]

Have you ever felt like someone has been watching you? Well, it has been me! I have been lurking in these forums now for over 9 months and I figured it was finally time I said hello. I have found these forums so helpfull as I move through this "journey" so Thank you.

Well here is a little bit about myself. I am 29 years old, i stand 6'5" and my heighest weight was 490. Ugh just writing that makes me feel disguisted lol. I began my month long pre op diet on 1/1/13 at 480. Yes, you read that right 4 week pre op diet. It was pure hell but I stuck to it and lost 25 lbs! Then just when i thought the pre op torture was over, my surgery gets postponed a week! So I actually went 5 weeks of only Protein Shakes but to be honest I took it very serious and went into surgery on 2/5 at 450 lbs.

Surgery went very smoothe. Woke up and was walking within an hour. Honestly I thought it would be a lot more painfull. I had the usual gas pain but walking helped.

So today at 3 weeks I currently weigh (Drrumroll please)...417. So thats 63 lbs gone forever!

Soo before I bore you anymore I just want to once again say thanks to everyone who does post on these forums. I have learned a lot and think i might possibly be addicted to the search bar for looking up every thing under the sun.

Good luck to everyone on here!

[It's all new 453]

Congratulations. I think that we could definitely use more stories and updates from high BMI folks - a huge help for others following in your path! Sounds like you are off to a great start.
