Congrats to everybody looking amazing!! So inspirational!! My progress so far 86 pounds down surgery july 1st 2014 im completely stuck now but not worrying to much about the scale im losing inches so as long as it doesnt go up! Its fine happiest i ever been in many years go losers!! Xoxo

@@karlam29 Congrats on the 83 lbs. We've lost about the same # of pounds in the same time frame. I went to the monthly support group at Temple street last tuesday. Not sure I'll go back unless they have a guest speaker. I don't see too much value in going. A lot of the people are not interested in talking about nutrition or exercise, and that's the kind of info I'm looking for. I learn more reading on this website than going to those meetings. Have you ever been to the Yale support group?

Ellen

hi ellen! Congrats on your progress No i havent time just doesnt allow me to attend because of work yes i do want to discuss nutrition and excersice too!! I agree!! just support from this app and now i just joined club 24 in middletown to help shed my last 30 i want to loose now i feel im stuck in the same weight no gain though, but happy with my progress

Hi - I had my surgery in August at Yale by Dr. Roberts. The hospital experience was really good. They took very good care of me. Spent two nights. In on Wed, out by Friday afternoon. Back at work (but from home - no driving) on Monday. Of course I do most of my work on a computer or on conf. calls -- couldn't have done a physical job for a few weeks.

Good luck. You'll be fine. Your profile doesn't say - are you a man or a women? Care to share your age? I'll be 57 in a few weeks, and I am doing well.

Ellen
