Just found your vlogs today. Thanks for the honesty and information. There's just one thing...I need to send you and Brooke a couple of Crimson Tide shirts. :-) a girl from Bama

I'm about 14 weeks post-op now and what you said about a "monster inside you" resonates so much with me. I've lost a lot of weight and look a lot better, but I know that greedy guy is still inside me. He just can't eat as much as he used to do - he'd still like to. I think your honesty in your continuing food issues is very much appreciated.

Thanks for the wake up call. Im 6 months post op. Things were really easy the first 6 months but now i feel it getting more difficult. Most of the food choices i make are great. BUT temptation is always there and sometimes i do fail. This video is a great how important it is to make good choices with food and excersise. You still look great, though. I hope you keep posting videos. You are an inspiration!

Thanks for the video. I am certain you are back on the right track. You have admitted what you know are bad eating habits (and drinking the high calorie drinks at Starbucks). Try the non-fat latte and use Splenda. You could go back to tracking all your daily calories. I am almost three months out from my surgery, and your video is a terrific reminder about what will happen if I get lax on my eating, drinking and exercise habits. Thank you for your honesty. You can lose it again!

HI again ANDY, I'm in the exact same boat, 3 years out for me this week from Dr Joya. Nice to see that we share the same experience, everything you said, you hit on the nail. We know what we have to do, now we just got to do it. All the best to you and your family, happy 2012

you can do it...you know its just about the habits and specially about the mentality

I had VSG: 5 months 294.8 > 184.8

I also have a video journal inspired on your experience and example. Thanks. You know that it's all still about will and discipline. The cirurgy helps but can't fix it all. You can do it. It's great to have you back, even if it is because you need new motivation

You can do it! I am getting vsg and your videos have inspired me so much and I know how hard it is! You and your wife are amazing!
