It's been a while 220 lbs lost and holding.

I haven't updated this in a very long time, really it got to a point for quite a while there where all I was doing was simply posting "Still Losing... Still Losing.... Still Losing..."

I just wanted to update my progress here. As it stands, it's been a little over 4 years, I've lost 220 lbs total. I started at 430, and I'm currently 210. Life is pretty good. I can certainly say that Gastric Bypass was the best thing I could have ever done in my life, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.

To be honest, it's at the point now where I don't think about it all the time. It still probably comes up for me a few times a week, I spent the majority of my life overweight, it'd be strange if it didn't, but the fact that there are days at a time where I don't think about my weight? What a change.

I suppose that's not totally true. Eating is a lot different now. I'm always aware of my surgery at every meal, or any time I'm eating. I certainly think about it when it comes to things like taking ibuprofen or any NSAIDS. But it's not my weight I'm thinking of, it's how I need to do things.

That's probably what I'll be writing about as start posting again, the considerations that I have to think of years out. To be honest, as odd and amazing as it is for me to say, having lost the weight has become "old news", and that, is a wonderful thing!
