I’ve been asked about these for some time and in all honestly, I’ve been very slack about taking care of something I committed to do…
So, without further delay…
Here are photos comparing my body at a pre-Gastric Bypass state (7/6/2009) to 6.5 months out from Gastric Bypass surgery (1/25/2010). I’m still not happy with where I’m at and I still have 30-40 pounds hopefully left to go, but I’m thrilled with the progress so far…
Sorry the pics aren’t all from fully similar views, but this is what I’ve got to show…
Here are some additional stats 
Waist size (Jeans)
T-Shirt Size
- THEN 3XL-4XL (3XL was typically too tight to wear, so 4XL was the size of choice)
- NOW 2XL

Personal.
I thought I would formalize my resolutions for 2010. I don’t believe I’ve done this in years past, but it feels more important now. After some consideration, I thought I should keep the list short and focus on what really matters to me for 2010:
- Lose down to under 200 pounds (199.9 or below) – This is a stretch goal for me as it is beyond what my surgeons predicted, but it is where I want to be. Might as well shoot for the moon if you’re going to strive for anything at all.
- Build up to running 3 miles without dropping down to a walk – Ultimately, I would like to train for a 5k, but for now, I am setting the goal at running 3 miles straight in straight-forward conditions such as that of a treadmill at the gym.
- Be a better husband/father – Get more involved in and be more supportive of my wife & children. I hope that I can become less selfish and be more of a rock for my family to use for support and encouragement. I still need to come up with solid, attainable goals here rather than the vague concept as it is now.
- Climb the beginner’s course on the rock wall at the gym – When I first tried months ago, I was only able to get a couple of holds up the wall. In 2010, I hope to complete the beginner’s course to the top.
- Develop my first iPhone app that actually makes it to the storefront.
Yes, it has taken me too long to put these up given that we’re more than a week in to 2010, but maybe getting my resolutions up on time will be a resolution for 2011
