Islandcool 0 #1 July 31, 2003 So there I was.... I got contacted by a magazine and the wanted some before pictures because they were considering doing a profile on me (gastric bypass surgery). I only had my DL picture. I called my ex-wife and she had a few from a xmas party. she sent them to me and to say I was floored would be an understatement. I had never seen myself like this nor do I remember looking like this. There was a lot of regret that I didn't take care of myself soon. Well it was what it was. Talk about wingloading...geeeezzzz. Well Blue skies now and good times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I myself used to weigh 245 and then went down to 165 in about 4 months, which was way too skinny. (did it by working 80 hours/week plus school. I don't recommend tha to anyone). Unlike you, I didnt keep it all off, though. I am up to 200. Congrats! You look great. My wife is hotter than your wife.
