After the procedure, Al went on to lose more than 100 pounds – and along with shedding the weight, he had to shed his old clothing, as well.

The TV host revealed he made sure to save one important piece, though.

He kept the pair of jeans he wore to the surgery as a reminder of the journey that he’s on.

On Instagram, Al showed how much his figure has slimmed down over the years by sharing a photo of himself holding the pants up in front of him.

“It’s still a struggle but I’m never going back. 

“I have setbacks and struggle every day, but I never forget how far I’ve come.”
