So I started this blog to document my life and the changes that are happening. On Aug 20th 2008 I had gastric bypass surgery and to the date I have loss 33 lbs. I can not tell you the impact it already has had on my life. (But I will Try) It is so much easier to keep up with my two young sons and it has made me a much happier man with the relationships I hold in my life. I have also started feeling a difference in my confidence level which I hope will help me when I am in social settings. I have always become cranky and even stand offish when I become uncomfortable. Most of the times when I became uncomfortable it is due to my size or the effects my size has on my physiological state. Some examples are being in a cramped room with others and my thoughts of my size compared to others or if it is sitting in a seat at a stadium and the seat being tight. So yesterday when my wife Kara, my sons Kaidan and Cooper and I went shopping and I fit into a size XL instead of XXL pants I was Ecstatic. I look forward to more of those monents and look forward to opening up more and letting more people in and not being so cynical of others and believing I am being treated a certian way because of my appearance.
Well i hope you enjoyed this first blog. Tune back in soon.

Hi
My name is B. and I work with your wife. I too am very large and know exactly what you are talking about feeling very self consious in front of other people. I keep asking your wife how you are doing and if it is easy to stick to the diet. You already can see the difference in your pictures and I am so happy for you.
