Three month progress report

[UpandAtom 126]

Hello folks! I had my sleeve three months ago and want to post my progress. Here's the stats:

Highest weight- 380

Start weight-365

Surgery weight-351

Current weight-275

First of all I cannot believe I have lost over 100 pounds since my all time high. I used to think that if I could get down to 280 and stay there then is be happy. But I could never get down under 300 in all my weight loss attempts over the last 15 years. I used to see 275 as normal overweight! Now I'm dead set on getting to 200.

I exercise daily by walking and biking and plan To step it up once I have my knee surgery. I walk a lot even though my knee is in great pain sometimes.

Most days/times I feel fabulous but still suffer some nausea if I'm not careful what I eat. I think that's a good thing because it is a great learning tool for nor overeating!

I was I. Vacation recently and did things I never could have or would have done as recently as last year. I hiked daily, went canoeing a lot, swam a lot and rowed several miles in a rowboat as part of a camp triathlon. I probably logged five miles a day on foot. I canoed a fast river with my wife and manouvered like I did in my 20s. I could not even have canoed at all last year. I couldn't even have stood up from the seat, I was too big and my knees were too bad. Even with my recent injury to my knee, I could get up easy.

I am also just generally more active. I swim I. The backyard, have been working a lot around the house and am restoring a vintage carpenters bench for use as a kitchen island.

This is the best thing I've ever done. I just bought a new car, a Nissan pathfinder that I plan to use for more camping adventures.

If you are in the fence about getting this done, I highly recommend this surgery. It is the gateway to a new life!! Oh yeah, and my bariatrician asked me to speak at their informational meetings!

Best to all!
