I agree with you! It is important that you are mentally ready to make serious changes in your eating habits. You have to be ready to give up unhealthy habits and embrace a new way of life or you will find yourself unsuccessful. This surgery is a blessing but you have to be ready to make changes for a lifetime or you will fail! I'm 21 weeks post op and I've embraced a healthy lifestyle. I am exercising and trying my best to eat right. I still enjoy good food but I've given up fried foods and high fat food. I just completed a 5k last Saturday, Something I never thought I would accomplish. You can do it just get your head in the game and commit to making the necessary changes! Good luck! I wish you the best.

I just completed my first 5k last Saturday. It was an amazing accomplishment. I've lost 76 pounds and its amazing the things I can now do that I never would have tried 76 pounds ago! Good luck on your 5k!

That's great! Congrats!

Good luck!! You can do it! My first goal was to get under 200. Made that a few weeks ago. My birthday is Saturday and it want to be in he 180's! I'as 192 today. I'm hoping by Saturday I can be at least 189.99999 lol! Gina watch my carbs for the week. Went to Zumba today so off to a good start.

My surgery was on a Monday. I went to church Sunday and watched the Hallmark and Lifetime channel movies the day before. Got up early and went to the hospital Monday morning at 5:30am for the surgery! Nothing adventuresome. Now I did have a big dinner the day before my liver shrink diet! I started my diet on a Monday and it was Easter Sunday the day before. I had a huge meal!! Lol. Glad to day I did excellent on the liver shrink diet and lost 16 pounds. I'm now 21 weeks out today and I've lost a total of 76.5 pounds! Good Luck!

I felt amazing 10 weeks after surgery! You should he just fine. Just continue to follow your doctors orders and by week 10 you should be ready for your trip.

That's amazing! I wish I could say that! Lol! I am getting there just gotta keep pushing also! I was surprised at the time I was able to finish. I would love to get to a 12 minute mile. That's my ultimate goal to finish a 5k in 36 minutes so I gotta keep working at it. How does it feel to be in the 140's? How tall are you and what size do you wear? I'm 5'5 and a size 16 now. Just curious what I'd wear at a 145 pounds. E

You can do it! Sign up now and get ready for the December race! Can't wait to hear about how great you did!

You are going to love it!!! You are at my goal weight! I'm 192.4 now and want to be 140-148! I can't imagine being that weight but I couldn't imagine being 192 either from 268 pounds!

So excited and proud of myself! I ran my first 5k today! My goal was to run it in 45 minutes! I beat my goal and did it in 42:05 minutes!! Feeling on top of the world! Amazing what you can do when you drop 75.5 pounds!

I'm almost five months out and I still do not feel hunger. I need to do a better job planning meals.

Happy birthday! Good luck on your surgery!!

60 minute Zumba class and 20 minute on treadmill. Feeling good!

Congrats!! Have a good time tomorrow and enjoy your accomplishment.

I am so excited! Today is week 18 post op and my weigh in day and I got on the scale and it said 199.6! I've made it under 200 pounds! This was a huge goal for me! I haven't been under 200 pounds in over 25 years! I didn't think it was possible, oh what a great feeling!

I'm 4 months out and I drink two a day.

Congrats!!! I am 4 pounds from onederland so I hope to be as excited as you soon!

Thanks Gurliepunk12543! How was Disney? Were you able to ride the rides? I can't wait to go to an amusement park and be able to fit in the rides. It's amazing how the little things make such a difference!

Thanks!! BBdoodle!

Wow!! What a great story! You look amazing and congrats on all your health improvements!

I am so excited! I am sitting on a plane and I'm able to fasten my seatbelt without having to ask for a seatbelt extender! I have flown for the last two weeks for work and haven't had to ask for one and today I'm on a different airline than I normally fly and I don't need an extender for their planes either. So seatbelt extender free on American & Delta airlines! I am smiling from ear to ear!
