Congratulations...thank you for your post. It inspired me. Keep on keeping on. Best wishes

Great little book. I gave a copy to my surgeon.

Halibut is my favorite

Cross my legs, ride a bike, golf, walk a 5k, buying clothes in the misses section, not having to buy 2 seats when I fly and being able to go places and not being worried about what I can and can't do. A tropical vacation would also be nice!

Walking a mile

First challenge I've participated in. Current weight 266. Goal weight 250

I loved coffee prior to surgery..I did switch to decaf before surgery. However, post surgery my taste buds have changed and coffee does not taste the same so I have been able to just leave it. I would never of guessed this outcome. Good luck

My body was not pretty with my skin filled with fat either. I don't let it worry me because I'm successful on this journey and it has saved my life. Best of Luck

Congratulations on your success. You rock!!!

9 months out and I track both fluid and food everyday.

I stayed two nights in hospital. The only thing I used was Chapstick. Hospital had everything else (toothbrush and paste, lotion etc). I left in the same clothes I came in (loose fitting). I did bring my iPad but just used my time resting and healing and walking. Best of Luck on this incredible life saving journey.

Lost one shoe size..

Congratulations...whatever you choice enjoy every minute of your success. I took the day off work.

Best of Luck..

For the first six months, I only weighed at my dr appointment. Now I weight every two weeks. I was never disappointed and I refused to give my power to the scale. Follow your plan and the weight will come off. Everyone is different so beware not to compare yourself to others.

Everyone is different. It is your journey. Your normal will be yours. Not mine or anyone here. Follow the plan and you will loss. Stay positive.

I'm 8 months out and my loss was very rapid at first but has slowed down now. My dr is happy with it and tells me it will be slow but steady from here on. Part of the journey. One day at a time. Congrats on your loss up till now. Stay strong

Eating out is a challenge for me but I continue to go out because of the social aspect of it. I have just learned to only eat a little of it and take the rest home. Sometimes we will also share which helps with volume. You will learn how to eat out just like you will learn what works for you. It takes time. I agree with pixie redhead, your taste buds will change and will not want to eat some of the things you loved. Best of Luck

Crown Royal and water is the only drink I have been able to tolerate.

Sending prayers

Congratulations and best of Luck on your new journey.

Don't let the scale have your power..this is a journey

Congratulations...

Best of Luck

I was fine with those tasks...could not lift over 20lbs so depending on the cat liter just be careful. The soreness goes away pretty fast. But it will be nice to have someone with you fir company and support. Best of Luck
