Amazing man, congrats!!! If that's somewhat what I have to look forward to I can't wait. Did you lose much pre-op or mostly after surgery? Really great job.

I had to do a 2 week pre-op diet and I lost 30 on that. So I had the surgery at 440 pounds.

Hey Russ, Sorry to bother with the personal questions but what was your BMI going into surgery? I ask because I had my 2nd visit today with my surgeon and he wants me to try and drop weight so I'm closer to 50. He's saying 20lbs with a tentative date of July 12 but I think I could do better than that. Also if you don't mind what did you diet consist of? I'm actually going to make a post asking the rest of the folks here. Thanks for any info... Again great job and I hope to do nearly as well.
