Thanks Alex, awesome article. I am 3-weeks postop and am happy with my experience so far. I do read posts from members about losing slow. I haven't felt any sadness about weight loss. I am happy with each pound that is not there when I weigh myself. I have struggled as many others with losing a single pound and keeping it off at times. Therefore, I am very grateful for weight loss surgery. Battling Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesteral and sleep apnea before surgery, I know this has saved my life. I do understand how those members feel and use how they feel as an inspiration to stay focused. I talk to my team and read posts from the veterans here to get me through.

Thank you Lisa! How are you doing in week one? It will get easier, I promise! All the best on your journey back to good health! Dr. Adeyeri. Hello Dr. Adeyeri, I am doing well. I had my post op on Monday, 6/16 and my Surgeon & team said that I am doing well. Working to do everything that I can to follow my plan. I have invested so much into this and am so grateful to be on this journey. Thanks so much for the reassurance that it will get easier. I appreciate you responding to all of our posts. I will keep updates coming. Again I was so inspired by your article... We all need to go back to re-use those tools when things get rough.

@@Dr. Adeyeri, truly appreciate this post and I will continue to follow. I am only pre-surgery right now surgery next Friday, June 4th. However, this is a very big worry for me thinking a year from now or so. I will apply these simple ways to stay on track!
