dropping in to say hi

Its been quite some time since I have been on here, but I though I would drop in to say hi and see how everyone has been. Its a little over 8 months since my VSG and it has been one hell of a ride. I had surgery weighing 218 with a high weight of 225. I am surrently weighing in at about 210 pounds, but the biggest difference is in my clothes. I now wear a 34 in jeans (previously 44-46) and a large or medium shirt (previously a 3XL). Today was a big NSV for me as I tried on my GA Tech football jersey from last season and it completely swallowed me whole and hung to my knees. Its moments like this that remind me how far I have come.

To anyone out there considering surgery, I will tell you that it has changed my life. I enjoy life in a way I never expected. Food is still a challenge for me as I dont always make the best choices, but I will say that I work hard to burn those extra calories when I do stray off the reservation. I ran the warrior dash this year (well, 2 miles till I broke my ankle), I gave up my desk job and took a job in construction, and let not even talk about the attention I seem to get from women these days.

If anyone has any questions about what the process or life has been like, please feel free to ask.

Oh and I will say, get used to your ass hurting all the time when you sit. That may be my only complaint, oh my aching tailbone.
