    I'm encouraged! That is a MAJOR MILESTONE NOT ON MEDS PLUS WEIGHTLOSS!

    Today is my 100th day post-op. The surgery was on January 5th.

    I don't post much, but from what I've seen and read it appears this group is doing amazingly well. The pictures that many of you have published documenting your transformation are truly inspiring.

    At my last weigh in on December 21, 2016 at the doctor's office, I topped the scale at 326. A week later I began the one-week pre-op diet at 322. On the day of surgery I checked in at 309.

    100 days later and fresh off a doctor visit yesterday, I am checking in at 247 pounds. There is still a long ways to go, but this is a 79 pound reduction since the first day of winter. Couple that with the elimination of all Type II diabetes medications and the vital signs returning to normal levels, you can't beat.

    I was also allowed coffee as soon as I was ready to tolerate it. That was true of almost everything I eat and drink. When I was ready, I was ready.
    When I read others who say their surgical team says no caffeine for six months or no alcohol ever or something, I always want to ask their surgical team to justify why. If they can't, then I wouldn't put much faith in it.
    Good luck.

    I know to some, this might even seem silly... but for several years, I've been over 300 lbs. Before I even decided on this route, I'd been trying every damn diet i could think of to lose weight. I remember 3 times, or got down to the verge of getting under 300 lbs. But I never could quite tip the scale. I'd teeter totter on the edge, but never made it under.
    The day I started the pre-op diet, I was 333.6 lbs. March 6th, the day of surgery, I was 310.2
    Today, I weighed, and I am 298.0
    I realize it's just 35 lbs and I still have a long road, but I cried. I haven't seen less than 300 lbs on the scale in over 3 years.
    I'm so grateful. For the first time, I actually feel like I got this. And I am so glad for this app. I just had to share my joy with someone. I felt like I was about to pop.

    Major NSV I finally weigh less then what is on my DL. For the longest my DL has said I weighed 255 even though I was my highest weight of 311.8. It feels good to finally be less than what's on there. Had to share. Oh yea btw insomnia still sucks

    I took off on Thursday, January 5th for surgery. I took the following week off with vacation time and returned to work on Monday, January 16th. I didn't have any problems returning to work and resuming a normal routine.
    After my hospital release I never had any nausea or pain that required anything other than Tylenol. I was pretty sore at the staples for a few days, but most of that subsided within about four to five days. I'm sure I could have resumed work sooner, but I'd have been a little more uncomfortable.
