I was the same way I just couldn't imagine. But its wonderful I feel so much better about myself. I can do my job better. And the surgery wasn't bad at all Dr. Miles is amazing. Very little pain. I've lost 51lbs since January and I know some people lose a lot faster but I'm just glad to be getting it off.

Exactly my sister had surgery a week after me and has already lost 75lbs. My mantra is "No two journeys are the same" I tell my self that all the time lol!

Hey everyone I'm 3 months out tomorrow and I've lost 50 pounds. It's not as fast as some are losing but I'm so glad to be losing I don't care how fast I do it. I just got a job so I'm sure it's going to go faster now though.

Oh I'm so sorry I haven't been on here in a while how did your appointment with Dr Miles go? I absolutely love him! He is a wonderful Dr! The hospital was really good taking care of me and got me everything I needed! I love the nursing staff they were great! This was one of the best decisions of my life. How far along are you into the process now? Hope all is good!

Congrats! This is an amazing decision you've made! Its not near as scary as I built it up to be in my mind. I'm still not getting in the full 60g of protein every day somedays I do some days I don't. The Protein shake doesn't sit well on my stomach so I try to get it in other ways. As far as advice all I have is listen to your nut and dr. about everything and start training your brain now to take small bites of food and to eat more slowly. If you eat to big of bites too fast its painful. This is something you just have to learn as you go for the most part. I'm still lost on lots of things lol but if you ever have any questions just ask there is always someone out there who went through the same thing who can help you out! And good luck with everything!

Amazing I'm still in the same size clothes so far but I'm so ready to have my clothes be falling off. My family says they can see my weight loss but I don't see it yet. I'm so happy your husband is starting to get healthy also, I'm going to make mine start eating more healthy when I can eat real food again. Lol oh I'm so ready for that day

I had surgery on January 21st. I'm 3 weeks postop yesterday and I've lost 16 lbs since surgery and 27 since my preop diet. I just wanted to check in with everyone and see how it's going.

Thanks!! You too!
