Patience. You may think you have it but you will need much more. Nothing in this process happens as soon or as fast as you want it to or thought it would. Also read these forums. Even the ones you don't think have anything to do with you, you never know if you may experience something similar. You will learn tons. Good luck on your journey!!!!

I don't know if I'm sharing this in the right place but I wanted to share my progress after 3 mths. I'm down 50 pounds. I'm at 178 on my way to 135. I'm 5'3 and started at 228 pounds. I'm so happy.

I am 6 months post op and I have lost 141 lbs. feeling great!
318 lbs to 177 lbs.

I am 10 months post-op, down 158 pounds. Starting BMI of almost 45 and now my BMI is right about 20! Under my ultimate goal by 14 lbs! I went to my very first club over the last weekend and felt so confident!!! So happy and excited to be here. I never thought I'd be here and it's all gone by so quickly. proud of my fellow weight loss warriors for all. your success. I figure I'll hold off on posting any more pictures until I hit that 1-year mark. Working out, maintaining and getting to my healthiest me. Sorry for the lack of "before" pics. I avoided the camera for an entire decade. Now I'm an obnoxious selfie queen! HA! Love and happiness to everyone. This is just to show it CAN BE DONE. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

This is my first "meal" since surgery, day one of phase 3. One egg scrambled with one teaspoon of whole milk, a sprinkle of black pepper and paprika and 1/4 of banana. Unfortunately this is the post pic as I forgot to take a pre pic but gotta tell you it was not that much larger. I only had about 4 SMALL bites of the egg and started getting that good old feeling right at my sternum area. The 4 bites were over a period of about 10-15 minutes. Very odd feeling to eat such a small amount and have a full belly. This is going to be weird getting used to.

Was supposed to be 6 weeks but saw my surgeon at week 5 and was given the green light, no more restrictions. Peas, corn, iceburg, spinach, carrots, cucumber, Tomato, pickles, avocado. I have had no problem with any of them. Just like anything else, start slow and see how you react to it. Good luck and enjoy.

Congrats everyone. Your looking great!!
1st pic is May 26th and 2nd is today. Little bit of a difference I guess.
