Keep chugging along brother!

You may have mentioned this before but how has the weight loss affected your cigar smoking?

None at all Vin, only the first 3 weeks after the surgery I couldn't smoke, but after the initial three weeks I could smoke what I want, when I want, just like before.

stepped on the scale this morning, lost 84 lbs since mid september. I'm getting there! I'm still a big boy with my 305lbs, but just 6 months ago it was much worse.

MedicCook · 04-03-2010, 09:54 AM

Great job Ferdie.

Good work!

Keep it up Ferd. Both you and Simon looked great at the herf, hoping to not recognize either of you at the next one

Keep it up

Don Fernando · 09-02-2010, 02:56 AM

had a few appointments at the hospital last week and this week. I lost little over 98 lbs in almost a year time, my bloodwork is all good, cholestorol etc are all within the right margins, blood pressure 128/82, which is fine too. My BMI dropped from 56½ to 42½ which is an awesome drop.

The surgeon wanted to do the second part of the surgery (the actual splitting of the Duo Denum) asap but I decided to wait till after EPIC.

Awesome News, Ferdie!

Congrats, My Brother!

What a thread to read, congrats on all your progress.

Mr.Italy · 09-02-2010, 07:10 AM

Well done Fernando.

e-man67 · 09-02-2010, 07:12 AM

That is quite an accomplishment! Congrats and stay focused!

Chingas · 09-02-2010, 07:36 AM

Ok I'll admit, I didn't read all 11 pages but the first and the last. Ferdie, keep it up Brother. Sounds like your in the right direction and doing well.

I didn't catch thru my scan info on employment but I'm hoping you found yourself a job with much less stress!

BlackDog · 09-02-2010, 07:44 AM

Great news Ferdie. Congrats on your success!

Da Klugs · 09-02-2010, 08:02 AM

You should be quite proud of yourself. Taking control of you life and doing what you had to to move it to a better place is ... an inspiration.

Keep up the good work.

hotreds · 09-02-2010, 08:10 AM

Congratulations! I, too need to drop more than a few lbs and know how hard it is! Keep up the great work! Bravo! Gefeliciteerd!
