Congratulations to all of you!!!! You will do awesome!

CG, It's not bragging!! It is awesome!! Compliments are the best way for us to stay motivated!! Keep up the FANTASTIC WORK!!

haha Patty I too am a obsessive food logger. I even log my liquid Vitamins calories!! I love My fitness pal. I started losing from pre-op and been steady losing still!! Whoever told me about MFP, thank you!! I am positive for me that is, that if I wasn't using a food tracker I wouldn't be losing the significant amount of weight that I have lost. My idea of cups, oz, tablespoons before I started tracking was WAY OFF. But now that I am in reality with my measurements it is working so much better for me!! Good luck!!

Less invasive, quick surgery and irreversible. Very pleased I took the plunge!!

Excellent news!!! Keep up the good work!~

Sweet, congrats!!!!

Yeah it is normal. If I wasn't self pay and already paid I probably would have lol. But thank god I did it. I am down almost 60 pounds since December and already it has begun to change my life. Good Luck and let us know how you are doing after surgery!!! Congrats!

Yes one week. I couldn't lift anything heavy but back to work normally. I have heard some people up and back to normal in 72 hours.

I took exactly one week. I do have to move during the day for my job so I needed those few extra days. Good luck to you!

Looking awesome!! Keep up the great work you are doing!!

Congratulations. I love taking after pictures now of my progress. Weight loss seems so slow, but when I do the side by side results, I feel much better. Keep up the great work!!

Sounds great, thank you for sharing!

Normal, in a few days you will feel much better. Congratulations!

Absolutely Amazing! Congratulations!!

As I go down in size I am literally throwing my clothes in the trash!! Never again will I be wearing those sizes.. 28-18 so far........gone! I don't even want to see them in my closet! GOOD LUCK!!

Gosh I know exactly what you mean......

Feel better soon!!! Praying.....

Hello, I was also self pay. My surgeon said it is very common for obese people to have hiatal hernias and never know about it. He said while he was in there and I had a repair he would stitch it up for me for no additional cost. When he went in to perform the surgery, I did have the hernia and he repaired it! Good luck!!

Hi Same, I am a part of this group and the recipes are helpful. I am also only 11 weeks out and already getting bored of some foods. I am lucky though I can eat bread and Pasta. So far I am good with every food I eat. I am down 55 pounds now.....so happy. I made pumpkin Protein cupcakes last week for Snacks. YUMMY. So yeah it is worth joining the group for recipes and also I email Helen for specific meals I am looking for!

Awesome!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

Fantastic!! WTG Keep us posted!
