Rob's Weight-Loss Surgery Journal

See Rob. See Rob run. Run, Rob, run!
For the first time, I believe since college, I really ran. Don't get me wrong, I didn't experience a Forrest Gump moment. But I did run for a short period of time as part of my exercise this morning. It was actually easier than I expected; it still took a fair amount of exertion on my part, but I was surprised and excited by this little accomplishment.

4 Months Post Surgery
Surgery +4 Months
Today marks four months since my surgery.
Since I started this process, I have lost over 87 pounds. I now weigh 242.9 pounds.
This last month has been harder in many ways, including the rate of weight-loss. I only lost 7 pounds in the last month and almost all of it has been in the last week. However, as you can see from my last weigh-in, my body has continued to change.
So for today, I am choosing to focus on where I am today in contrast to where I was 4-and-a-half months ago.

Today marks two months since my surgery. While it hasn't been easy, it has been worthwhile.
Since I started this process, I have lost 66 pounds. I now weigh 263.7 pounds. This is lowest I have weighed since using fen-phen before it was banned in 1997.

Relearning to Tie a Tie
Surgery +8 Weeks
For the last few weeks, I have had to tie my ties twice.
When tying a tie, my goal has always been to have the tip of my tie reach my belt buckle. This has meant, because of my girth, that it has become second nature to make the narrow end of the tie very short.
Now that I have lost almost 60 pounds, this habit has resulted in a tie length that extends well past my belt. So I retie my tie.
I don't mind. The too-long tie is a fun reminder of just how much weight I have lost.
