lol at 4 months, mine are horribly dark still and my son still thinks they are owie's! I don't see mine ver fading away. However my skin is so pale that it looks translucent at times...so it is what it is for me! lol

That's an awesome loss!

I ate one reeses peanut butter mini...and only one! That is truly a first for me. Lol. It did taste pretty amazing though! Funny enough I had a harder time not eating too much of the roast made last night!

You look amazing, congratulations!

I really liked Dr. Schram! :-D

I started around 325 with a goal of 180 as well! What surgeon does surgery in Grand Haven?

What happened?

Ihad Dr. Schram in the same office!

I had my surgery at spectrum. What surgeon? !

I have a really hard time eating slow too. :-(

I only had a 2 day preop diet and I did drink some ready made Protein drinks from the doctors office but other than those I haven't really gotten into Protein Shakes...I tried but yuck. :-(

Non scale victories. :-)

I was at 60 pounds lost before people really started saying anything...now they think I'm melting away! Lol

You look so wonderful, congratulations! :-) over 100 lbs in 6 months is crazy! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

I wouldn't start 2 weeks early...you have restrictions for so long post op you will be wanting to cheat! Lol

My pre-op weight was 325 and now I am 249. I have had a relatively easy recovery/transition, no complications. I just don't tolerate certain foods and have been feeling my restriction a lot. As far as words of wisdom, follow what the doc's/nut's say! Lol don't rush yourself into eating your old food choices, we fo need to change these to be successful.

Wow, we're very close!
