Pre-Gastric Bypass | Preparing for Surgery
I’ve noticed that I have been getting a lot of visitors to the site that are preparing to have their surgeries, whether it gastric bypass or lapband. So I thought I would write a post that explained some of the things that I dealt with pre-surgery and talk to those that are going through this right now in hopes in sharing some of the things I encountered.

Life after Gastric Bypass | 7 weeks out
I should first apologize about my lack of posting lately, I just haven’t been too inspired to post. Didn’t feel there was anything worth talking about. I go through that writers block mentality from time to time I’ve noticed since starting my blog. I’m always impressed at the people that can churn out post after post…some can do 5-10 posts daily.

SXSW on deck
I’m getting to go back to SXSW Interactive this year. This will be my 2nd time going and I’m pretty excited about it. Lots of good panels and discussion. If it is anything like last year, I came out of it excited, inspired, and ready to take on the world. Trying to get couple of guys to join in but don’t know if either is going to work out. Hopefully, if I go solo I’ll...

Weight Loss Progression after Gastric Bypass
So as I had mentioned before I have thus far lost a little more than 35 pounds since the surgery but I have seem to have plateaued for the past week or so. So I reached out to my wife’s cousin Britt, who had the surgery almost 5 years ago now, and asked her what did she experience when the speed of weight reduction. Well, she responded with such a great reply that I thought I would share...
