Be excited! I was never nervous so I have no advice to give of how to overcome the nerves. I will say I have NO regrets.

I stick with high protein/low carb. I allow treats on the weekends and holidays. It's a lifestyle change. I don't want to fall back into old habits.

Getting closer to done!

Nothing carbonated but liquor is fine. Vodka and water with a slight lime twist is almost carb free. I was drinking 3 weeks after my surgery...in moderation

When no one who hasn't seen you in the last year recognizes you.

Finally able to ride all rides at Busch Gardens without worrying if I will fit.

Let me try y this again. Here is start and current. 150 lbs down in this pic and still going!

Here's an update to my before and current pic at the 150lbs lost mark...still going!

My surgeon got on my case because I admitted that I had stopped measuring my food. He states the eye/portion relationship was not habit yet. He had me go back to weighing the portions to ensure no overeating. I know for sure my stomach can hold more now, but it still doesn't take much.

When other guys are complimenting on the way you look...not in a gay way either. I don't know if that's PC to use word gay that way, but nothing bad meant by it.

The Quest and Atkins bars are good. I've been blessed with no side effects too. 142 lbs in 6 months...lovin it.
